"En ayuna" or "En ayuno" or "En ayunas?"
Which is the correct way to say "fasting" in Spanish?

The verb is ayunar and you can find the conjugations here:

El ayuno limpia las paredes del colon y combate microorganismos, consejos para restablecimiento de la flora intestinal.
"Estoy en ayunas" "I am fasting" although
"Ayuno" I fast
What's the difference? As I understand it, the first is a current state of fasting while the second implies that, even if I'm not fasting right now, nonetheless it's something I do when it's appropriate.
"Abstencia", while also used for fasting can be more specific, relating only to red meat, booze or whatever you think you should do without.
...and by the way, "fasting" as a technical term for pinning the bars of a capstan to the drum is something I haven't yet found an equivalent for.
You need to provide a sentence so we can know how you are using it (noun, adjectives, etc.)
haciendo abstinencia
