Reply to comment by kerridge in Intermittent Fasting significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (SBP), but not diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The effects are likely due to weight loss. by glawgii

Massive volumes of matter passing through your colon and rectum is directly associated with an increased risk of rectal issues such as fissures, tearing, hemorrhoids etc.

Compare passing 500 grams of waste twice a day to passing 2 kg once every two days.

Although there is likely an association, this will be due to lack of fibre, for example not eating enough vegetables with food. As a vegetarian, I have done massive shits all my life and suffer with zero such issues. If the mass is impacted but if you eat enough fibre it's gonna be absolutely fine. and the time to recover is absolutely going to help. Stop spreading faecal related FUD!
