Good morning! This is a very good question. Theoretically you need 130 gram of carbohydrater per day for proper brain functioning. On a fast if you consume honey in water it is like feeding your brain. I see no problem with drinking honey water on a fast particularly if it helps with a medical problem.

Do not focus so much on if you need to treat your bowels as remembering the meaning of Ramadan and fasting. The lesson of self-control is predominantly important with fasting which is not an issue with putting honey in water.

Good luck to you and I hope I have addressed your question. Kathryn Shattler, MS,RDN
