anyone doing 5:2 diet and experiencing unpleasant side effects?

Going through perimenopause and trying to do the 5:2 diet but some side effects are making it more challenging than I'd like. Other thoughts what others are experiencing. Anyone getting tummy trouble for example?

Just to update. After four weeks the tummy trouble is easing up on the first non-fasting day thankfully. It was getting really embarrassing having to delay rushing to the toilet after eating lunch. I am eating a lot less to reduce the risk of volatile gut response. Intriguingly my moderate hot flashes I've had for a few months are much fewer and far between these days. Really want this 5:2 to work as nothing else has permanently.1
