Why is the stool dark and watery after a three-day hunger strike?
When I heard you say that the stool was dark and thin after three days of fasting and losing weight, my first thought was that it might be a physical stress reaction, indicating that the digestive system was seriously damaged.

There may be many reasons for the black water sample caused by hunger strike to lose weight, but the main reason is gastrointestinal bleeding. In the state of hunger strike, the secretion of gastric acid does not stop, and there is no food for digestion in the stomach, so gastric acid will stimulate the gastric mucosa, lead to gastric mucosal damage, and then lead to bleeding. When blood passes through the intestine, it will react with digestive juice and bacteria in the intestine, making the stool black and watery.

In addition to gastrointestinal bleeding, fasting weight loss may also lead to intestinal dysfunction. Not eating for a long time will slow down intestinal peristalsis, increase the retention time of food residues and bacteria in the intestine, and easily lead to constipation or diarrhea. However, after eating suddenly after a hunger strike, the intestine may not be able to adapt to the sudden food stimulation, and then there will be dysfunction, leading to abnormal stool.

In addition, losing weight on an empty stomach may also lead to dehydration. If you don't eat or drink water for a long time, you will lose a lot of water, which will cause the intestine to absorb water and make the stool dry. But in some cases, dehydration may also lead to watery stool, because the intestine can't absorb enough water to form normal feces.

It should be emphasized that losing weight on an empty stomach is a very unhealthy way to lose weight. It will not only cause digestive system problems, but also cause other serious health problems, such as malnutrition, decreased immunity, endocrine disorders and so on. Therefore, I strongly recommend that those who try to lose weight through hunger strike immediately stop this practice and seek professional health guidance.

For the case of black watery stool, it is recommended to seek medical advice as soon as possible. The doctor will conduct relevant examinations to determine the specific reasons and give corresponding treatment. During the treatment, we should maintain good eating habits and avoid irritating food and drinks, so as not to increase the burden on the intestines. At the same time, we should also pay attention to replenish water and electrolyte and correct dehydration.

In short, a three-day hunger strike to lose weight and dark and watery stool are serious warning signals from the body. We should pay attention to and respect the natural laws of the body, and achieve the goal of losing weight through a healthy diet and moderate exercise, instead of taking extremely harmful methods.
