I thought I was going to go out like Elvis (die on the toilet)

Contains some TMI, you’ve been warned.


I did a 72 hour fast and broke it with a dinner around 6pm. I had done about a dozen 72 hour fasts up to this point so wasn’t my first time.

Around 2am I woke up and had to take a number 2.

Basically diarrhea poured out of me for 30 minutes straight, non-stop.

The first 10 minutes I felt fine but then I started getting severe hot flashes, my heart was beating out of my chest, I started getting sweaty, etc. I had to stop a few times and hold it in and stand up for a few seconds because my legs were cramping up bad.

The hot flashes etc were so bad I seriously thought there was a chance I was going to die. I considered unlocking the bathroom door so it would be easier for my gf to find my corpse in the morning.

After 30 minutes of straight pooping I cleaned up and went back to bed, still feeling shitty but after another 5-10 minutes I felt completely normal again.

This happen to anyone else?
