How can fasting affect my digestion?

Fasting can significantly impact digestion due to the prolonged periods without food. During Ramadan, the body adapts to a different eating schedule, which can lead to changes in digestive patterns. Some individuals may experience bloating, gas, or discomfort after meals, especially if they consume large quantities at Iftar. To help manage digestion, focus on eating smaller, more frequent meals during the non-fasting hours. Include fiber-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, to promote gut health. Staying hydrated is also essential to support digestion. If you have pre-existing digestive issues, consult your GP for personalized advice.
