In many cultures, people fast, maybe some crohn's patients or ulcerative colitis could not fast due to their health conditions, however, for whom would like to fast these are my suggestions

1) ask your doctor

2) eat small meals, I suggest 6 small meals per a day

3) start gradually, before the official fasting month, first fast to 13:00 then 15:00 and so on

4) do not eat directly and sleep

I have to lol a bit when I see posts about fasting and IBD. Most people who are seriously ill with IBD can barely eat. Apart from step 1, I followed all the other steps in your post - not even deliberately, I just gradually ate less and left longer in between meals. (And I never eat directly before bedtime.)

Yes, I gained some control over my symptoms but none over my disease. You can see in my sig where I ended up.

I do the same steps in my regular life, I suggest these steps to be conducted by the people who do not even IBD issues
