Kratom and Fasting
Ǥrams: 110.55 ǤramsUnexpected effects of fasting while on Kratom. The first couple of days of my fast I lowered my kratom dosage way down, between 1/2 a teaspoon and one teaspoon per dose every four hours. Now, it’s been a rather painful day and that dose has increased to between 1 teaspoon to 1.75 teaspoons every three to four hours. It’s almost as it I am just burning through it very quickly as the fast continues. Just an observation.

Ok, that is one thing I have noticed is that kratom makes me hungry. I'm not doing a total fast. It's more of a bone broth, coffee and one small meal a day fast.

Ǥrams: 13.05 ǤramsProblem is that usually kratom makes me not hungry and disrupts the balance... I feel much better on kratom if I have eaten well that day. But at the same time, it doesnt feel very strong if you consume kratom on a completely full stomach. The timing is hard to get right.

I have to do Keto. It is the only way of life which keeps my inflammation way down, my blood sugars in a normal range and my triglycerides better than normal. The fast is a religious fast as I am able. I won't always be fasting. That said, I do feel much better on it. All combined, it does seem to help.

I agree, a full stomach truly does delay the effects of kratom. But, for some reason being on keto and fasting, my body seems to burn through it quickly. Where I used to be able to go five hours or more without kratom, pain becomes challenging at the three hour mark, sometimes less. I am using my most potent strains now. Those strains that only help somewhat are being put aside for much needed relief.
That said, I do wonder if I am simply and very quickly growing a tolerance. It has only been a month and a half or so, so, I hope that is not the case. Once the fast is over, I will know better. It's going to be a balancing act, and you are so right, it is hard to get right.
