A member asked:
Does total fasting (no food or liquids) for 14-16 hours per day produces more, less or no stomach acid at all? i.e what kind of impact such fasting has on stomach acid production?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The human body needs water. After just 12 hours without water, patients report increased stomach acidity, halitosis, stomach discomfort and hard stools. Fasting involves nutritive food and drink abstinence. You should never fast from water.
