Eliminating kale salads w/cukes, tomatoes, nuts, & seeds, and most all veggies, completely eliminated a lifetime of bloating, gas, & constipation -- as a result of being open minded with a "What do I have to lose?". Switched to nose-to-tail ancestral eating w/ modest butter & heavy cream in my coffee, and was set free from my sugar/carb bondage....dropped from size 12 to size 8 w/normal walking, gardening, & chores.
Have heightened sense of smell & taste; no bloat/gas; pearly white teeth (remineralization occurs w/eating carnivore grass-fed meats/organs, bcuz cells pull calcium from bloodstream and put it back into my (vegetarian-weakened) teeth & bones, despite 30 years of calcium supplements).
Peace & health to all.💜🙏🙂
God bless you Dr. C, for sharing your own stories about carb addiction and making helpful, educational content.
@ Melissa M. fantastic. Are you pure carnivore? I have been living a Keto lifestyle for several years. Though, for the last 2 1/2 months, I have been strictly carnivore. I wanted to try it. I miss my homemade fermented sauerkraut and homemade fermented pickles, I must admit. I am curious whether you are pure carnivore or if you add veggies into your daily or every other day meals? I do IF and also I fast on/off for several days. Doing 5 days of simply water fasting as I type. I am on Day 4 today. Appreciate your response. By the way, I used to be a vegetarian and later a vegan for several years. Never would I do that again. Have a healthy New Year.
@@pb5191 I guess sauerkraut is not bad because it's fermented already.
Yes !
@@pb5191 how are you doing now? Still carnivore?
@Melissa M - your comment has alot of helpful, healthful details, so thank you for that!
So confusing trying to figure out what a healthy diet is!
Scientifically, what is our GI system designed to process??? Want to stay healthy & NOT screw myself up in these latter decades. Even when researching, different authoritative voices say contradicting things!
I've been an IBS sufferer since the age of two years old (I'm now 68), but had no idea what exacerbated it until just one year ago. Went to the keto way of living, but things actually got much worse, and I was nearly a prisoner in my own home, unable to leave because of needing to be near a bathroom all the time. I listened to you, and to one video Dr. Berg did at about the same time (about six weeks ago, but I also had COVID right at Thanksgiving, so am not sure of when I saw/heard them), about changing to a completely carnivore diet for 30 to 90 days to see if that might help the issues. It's made all the difference in the world for me; while I love most vegetables, especially the cruciferous ones, there's just no way my body can process them without hideously painful, terribly debilitating effects. I really do miss the allium vegetables, too, but not being in pain all the time, and being able to go outside my home for several hours at a time is so freeing, if carnivore is the way I have to eat for the rest of my life, then so be it, I'll do it.
How long did it take to see improvement and what are you eating? Thanks so much...my son and myself are in misery.
Dr Berg is a scam artist. He's a chiropractor. Not an MD. He aligns backs for a living.
Me too. 50+ years of agony healed with low carb. Healed overnight.
I never have understood why people are listening to a chiropractor...which is what Dr. Berg is!
@@pamlovell9125: Your average MD has less than 40 hours of study within the field of nutrition. "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food," is not a philosophy they endorse. MD's are Medicinal Dispensers who choose pharmaceuticals as their "go to," believing a patient cured is a customer lost.
Saturated fat and salt was what the Dr.’s told my husband not to eat. Being that I control the food in the house (I do all the cooking and shopping) he gets more. His numbers were great at his dr visits this past month. They were so happy with his weight loss too. Wish we could break through big pharma and the food companies grip on the country.
The classic medicine is not a conspiracy about big pharma. But rather some misconceptions from the 60s and 70s about saturated fats and cholesterol which still, unfortunately still are tought in classical medicine I'm afraid. But I hope that better nutritional advices will be given as time goes on, but it takes many decades to change such things.
@@oysteinsoreide4323 then howcome the 70's saw butter demonised so quickly. Marketing plays a huge role in how quickly mindsets change. The food industry has no desire for us to eliminate the garbage they produce and big pharma has no intent to stop us from needing more and more medication! It's a vicious cycle and driven by money.
@@oysteinsoreide4323Please research how Ancel Keys and then the Seventh Day Adventists have completely and purposely corrupted nutrition recommendations. It is jot conspiracy theory, but transparent conspiracy fact.
That would interfere with business as usual and their bottom line.
The Carnivore way of eating cured my IBS. When I was on Keto, it didn't correct IBS. Thank you, Dr. Cywes.
ME TOO!
If you cant eat veggies and fruits, you are not healed, are you?
Me too!!
How long were you on the diet for?
👍💩
I used to eat darn lots of veggies and bloated and I thought it was normal until I started all meat diet..gosh..feel so good after eating a fatty juicy steak without feeling bloated and gassy.
I Just finished a " Compacted Stool " Unable to Pass the Hardball " You could Say...TenderLoin Steak Was Not Passing the Stool Easily ; More Over , the 5 1/2 Hour in the Waiting Time in the Emergency Room Didn't Help Me Squat...So I Took On a New Profession Dr. Ramrod : Please Stand aside... P.S.- Thank You for Female Nurses...🪣🧻.
Keto cured my terrible.IBS very quickly.
Me too.
Soooooo soooo true!!! I have suffered from IBS for 15 years and was also diagnosed with diverticulosis 2 years ago...I kept having painful flare ups. The only thing that has worked for me is when I went mainly carnivore. No flare ups or IBS bouts in ages now...I used to be in so much discomfort daily and now I even forget I have these issues! When I was initially diagnosed with diverticulosis my GP told me to cut out all red meat from my diet...back then I didn't eat any red meat at all. I now eat red meat daily and have honestly never felt better. ☺️
2 years later how is it going as i do not eat red meat also for now 20 years but now have diverticulitis
@@mini89123 I believe that the covid virus caused my diverticulitis. It seems to attack my gut. I fast during a flare, but this time, instead of going back to my almost vegetarian Mediterranean diet, I’ve eaten only meat and eggs for 2 weeks. I’ve lost a couple of pounds and I hope I’m healing from this awful condition! Hope you find a way to cure yours.
Thanks for sharing I have diverticulitis. This is my second round of antibiotics. Pain is horrific. I’ve been carnivore since the first episode but it’s only been a few weeks and now I’ve had another episode. Plan on staying carnivore, but my husband’s worried that it’s not right and that I need fiber so I appreciate people who speak up and say what happened to them. Thank you.

Dr Ken berry video
Hard core Beef Butter Bacon and Eggs, combined with intermittent fasting and I love it. Feeling much better❤
I was vegan for several years with ibs and Crohn’s disease. It didn’t help one bit! I felt worse. Now I’m keto and ibs and crohns symptoms have disappeared!
How long did it take you to feel better on keto?
How long you were on the diet for , my daughter diagnosed with crohns, 4 month on cornivor, 15 times a day diarrhea :(
Following
I just turned 58 in December. And just now I was diagnosed with diverticulitis. Due to the pain in my left side lower abdomen. Had few test done. So the finally diagnosed was diverticulitis. I was doing Ketovore since May 2023. Lost 30lbs and feeling great. Then. In November had my blood drawn. Shows very high cholesterol levels. And my doctor prescribed rosuvastatin and ezetimibe. Took it for a week, did not like the way I feel. So I decided to stop taking them. Plus. Dementia and Alz are in my family genes. So after my appointment with my November meeting with doctor. Just made me more depressed and adding more fiber and veggies to my diet to avoid high cholesterol. Then December came I ate crap for the whole month of December. Now. Actually yesterday had an emergency issue with my lower left side pain. Turns out to be diverticulitis. As for the food choices to heal. It far from keto or ketovore diet. They tell me to eat mashed potatoes, soft foods, banana. Applesauce, rice and stay away from fatty meat and only eat lean meat. Have to be soft. I am so unhappy and so frustrated with what to do. Now I am having fear of consuming foods. Wondering if anyone else has this problem and what to do about it. Please help!!!
That’s almost exactly my scenario. I’m in bed suffering with a bout of diverticulitis right now. I’m going carnivore when I feel better. At the moment I’ve been fasting for 46 hours. Just drinking water. My first flare up I got whilst having covid 4 years ago. (Although I didn’t know I had diverticulitis. I just told my husband if I feel like this tomorrow, take me to the hospital). It went away on its own. My second flare up, well it occurs to me that eating all the vegetables from my very productive allotment might have had something to do with it. It took me to A&E where I was diagnosed by ultrasound. I spent 4 days on a drip. Lots of antibiotics. Lost a stone. Drs told me NO FIBRE. Especially nothing cruciferous. Then they started me on toast and apple purée! Told me to eat a “white” diet. Mashed potatoes, rice, plain pasta, more puréed fruit. I went with it. But I was terrified really and confused because I knew deep down that those foods weren’t good for me. Healed nicely. Or so I thought. This third flare up came while I had covid. Again! I don’t suffer from constipation, I eat a nice Mediterranean diet. I don’t drink to excess. I have one black coffee a day and I drink about 1.5 to 2 litres of water a day. I’m really fed up. Mind you, as my husband is a vegetarian I rarely eat meat any more. He thrives, while I don’t. So, I’ve decided, it’s carnivore for me from now on. I can’t go through this again!
I have been diagnosed with diverticula disease, I tried low FODMAP diet made symptoms worse. Started carnivore diet Five months ago, no bowel pain, one formed bowel motion per day, instead of three loose motions per day. This goes against current medical advice but it’s working for me.
Watch dr Ken berry video on the subject
I would love to know Dr. Cywes take on olives, avocados, and coconut and their oils as a fruit, IBS, and carnivore point of view or perspective. Maybe a video? Thank you, Dr. Cywes!
i developed UC after years of NSAIDs to manage chronic pain from Hypermobility type Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. When I was no longer able to use NSAIDs, my opioid use increased exponentially. My Auto Immune doc wanted to put me on Humira and methotrexate when my UC turned into Enteropathic Arthrits. Thankfully she gave me 2 months to try dietary changes. Going paleo got rid of my visible inflammation from the EA within 1 week. I was a believer. When I then went paleo-keto, I got rid of my fibromyalgia flares and then finally was able to get off of opioids. That's when I went dairy free keto carnivore b/c the sugars from low sugar/starch veges were still triggering opioid cravings. My UC flares are mostly triggered by emotional trauma and I am in remission most of the time without medications. When I do have a flare, the carnivore way of eating completely changes what the symptoms are. After hearing your video on how prebiotics are not necessary for carnivores, I stopped my prebiotic and feel significantly better WRT bloating and bowel movement consistency. Your channel is amazing. Please keep putting out the valuable content you do.
Thank you for this information!! I actually trying this approach now
Thank you for the helpful info!
I love your focus on personalizing the eating process and the fact that one size does NOT affect all-also the fact that you must give yourself time to figure out what works for you!
Really clear explanation of FODMAPs, which I never really got before. Thanks. I am learning a lot from your channel.
I am so glad you talked about this. It took a long time for me to figure out was my problem. I feel so much better eating a low FODMAP diet
Excellent content. This works.
This was fascinating and so helpful! This is probably what I need to cut out!
Thank you for posting this.
Thank you. This info is so helpful. I have been on the keto diet for 4 years now, but still having issues with IBS. FODMAP sounds like a good answer. :)
Thank you for this information. I had silent reflux which caused ulcers in my esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Did not realize carbs did this, however I feel so much better on carnivore.
Switched to Fodmap in 2009. Game changer. It made the transition to keto in 2018 so easy. Excellent video, thanks for posting.
I just saw this for the first time today. So overwhelming! I have diverticulitis , gastritis and kidney stones. So many things I'm told not to do! I'm having a diverticulitis flare up now. I don't eat red meat because I find to hard to digest. I'm terrified have getting constipated from it and get a flare up. I have researched so much to the point of being tired and overwhelmed. I will continue to listen to the TH-cam s.
Look into chanca piedra for the kidney stones :)
I’m interested in what way you find red meat hard to digest. Does it give you gerd? I started 2 weeks ago. My gerd stopped immediately. I don’t just eat red meat. Today I had two fatty, juicy chicken thighs with crispy skin. At supper time I ate 2 eggs scrambled in a tablespoon of chicken fat. Very filling. Tomorrow it’ll be ground beef in some form. I hope you also watch Dr Ken Berry. Good luck. I hope you get where you need to be.
Eating red meat doesn't cause constipation. I have been doing carnivore diet for at least a full year in 2023 & I am very regular. To help you digest meat better, take 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar with a glass of water before meal. Good luck. Don't be afraid of eating red meat. Make sure to eat more animal fat.
Eat meat, butter, eggs, coconut water, maybe a little olive oil, fermented stuff, but not pasturized which kills the benifits, but keeps the taste....so make it yrslf!
THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THIS FANTASTIC VIDEO, DR CYWES 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👏👏
Much needed! Thank you
Thank you this was very helpful for me...
After playing for many years with smoothies I can say this: the fermentation of fiber in human tract is not benefic.
We need some vegetables but without soaking, boiling and pickling these veggies are just wearing us off slowly.
It is like dying from 1000 cuts.
Husband has IBD. Solid information, I too suffer w/dairy intolerance. Thank you for breaking it down easier to understand.
Wow! Hospitalized with Diverticulitis. Now I FINALLY understand why! I’ve been snacking regularly on “keto” brownies and prepackaged snack bars. Having been strict ketovore for almost three years I see now how sugar alcohols can really mess up everything. I have so much gratitude for you & this 14 minutes of eye opening info!
Yes how did you heal your diverticulitis?? Thanks!
@@BelCantoLari I’ve been having REPEATED episodes and don’t want surgery. I just read 2 Pubmed studies saying that red meat causes diverticulitis. CAN ANYONE HELP?! 🙏🏻
@@shar7508 i was in the ER this morning with a flare up and was told by the nurse red meat is not good for diverticulitis. I am trying to find out if it true also.
@@kelwrg hope you are better! Yes it’s so confusing! Everyone has their own thing to say about it. What’s the truth?
@@kelwrg oh thank you. Good luck to you
When I stick to a keto/carnivore way of eating, I have zero IBS issues. I consume a little Swerve and heavy cream with coffee and handle that well. Great video.
How long did it take you to feel better on carnivore? Especially if you had bloating, how long did it take for bloating go away?
@@haramLamyK It took about two months for me to lose the IBS issues. I felt better instantly.
@@staceyfrangomichalos1502 Thank you for answering!
@@haramLamyK I’m still trying to figure everything out but feel my best on carnivore with one cup of coffee per day. Good luck to you!
How about your stool . Are tou back on your normal diet now
yes! This advice is bang on. It is legendary. I already cured my ibs and I just watched this video out of curiosity to see if he was bullshitting or not and the things he mentioned are exactly the things I did to cure myself of it. You passed my test and now I know I can trust you on future advice for other things.
Thank you. I have learnt a lot from your podcasts.
This is so en pointe!! I was plagued with heartburn for many years. My GI doc told me to take Zantac bid. I was on that regimen for a brief time before I discovered keto/carnivore. I was unable to eat a steak after about 2pm because it would stay in my stomach for so long and then keep me up at night. Since this new way of eating, I have rarely (and I mean rarely) had heartburn issues. One less medication in my pillbox. Now just down to ONE pill to take daily for thyroid (wish I could get rid of that one too)! Thank you Dr. Cywes for your always informative videos. Happy New Year to you and your family!!
Why are doctors telling sufferers seeds and nuts aren't bad? They absolutely irritate Diverticulitis
Your average MD has less than 40 hours of study within the field of nutrition. "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food," is not a philosophy they endorse. MD's are Medicinal Dispensers who choose pharmaceuticals as their "go to," believing a patient cured is a customer lost.
So much great information for a 20- plus year Chrones patient. I've experimented with so many different lifestyles... I've failed, too many times. I hope I can make this change permanent.
how did it go? IBD here as well carnivore has done wonders for me wonder if you tried it and what you found?
Thanks Doc!
Thank You so much cheers from Pennsylvania ... I come from Pennsylvania Dutch cooking suffered since a child with bowel issues,drs said eat more fiber dear God the pain I lived with...now carnivore, it’s a miracle,absolutely amazing,my linen closet was full of fleets enemas,bottles of mom, refrigerator bran,vegetables,drank water like crazy, my days off from work were my bowel prep days ....I’m a retired nurse ( understand the issues with constipation)however never had a doc . give reliable information as to help, bless you 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you!!!
That was super interesting.
thank you . your message worked. 😮
So, basically last time I tried keto I followed the lots of vegetables and 'net carb' foods with lots of fibre. I had the trots for weeks, but no bloating. I started carnivore with meat cooked to rare in butter and haven't had the reoccurance. I guess throwing a bunch of crap in my intenstines and letting it rot wasn't good for me.
Great advice
Metamucil always helped me but going low carb remits my ibs perfectly. Used to go 10x a day.
Amazing video, I love the fact that you don't try to demonize the dairy. Some people can deal with it and some don't. Experiment and find your sweet spot 👍
I can eat dairy, thank heavens. That means I can have sour cream, cheese, and make chaffles!
I went on the fod map diet to help with ibs. I was suffering so badly. And I had reflux.
The past month or so I’ve been eating fod foods and the stomach pain and heartburn has been terrible. I’m back on track and feeling so much better.
Try some organic apple cider vinegar and maybe purified bile salts to boost your stomach acid. Good health to you!
I thought since I have acid reflux I suppose not to have apple cider vinegar.
@@Salsabilanow1111 The opposite. Apple cider vinegar helps with acid reflux. Has worked great for me and many others
Golden info 🧡💛🧡💛
Ibs hit me out of nowhere July of 2018 I went from a healthy 32yo guy working a 40hr a week job to barely able to function and lost 35 lbs from all the diarrhea,never ending stomach pain,2 rounds of horrible antibiotics to try and clear my gut and a bunch of bull from local doctors and I was still left to my own time figuring out what the hell went wrong until I cut out all bread grains and cruciferous vegetables from my diet ...I'm just now starting to climb out of this hell I've been in for some time.
@@johnhaney8553 honestly what I've learned since posting this comment is stay away from insoluble fiber , if you don't know what that is look it up, and don't eat anything that's hard to digest like nuts or corn on the cob. I mostly eat meats,cheese,potatoes some veggies mostly soluble fiber ones and anything that's not hard to digest. Hope this helps. I know it can suck.
@@johnhaney8553 eat white rice not brown rice... eat white bread not brown bread
But they say low fiber can cause appendicitis.
@@TheBroLoungeI don't know about that I'm just saying what worked for me
Part of my Methadone for Heroin trade off I chew lots of sugar free gum, sometimes a whole pack at once which gives me immediate diarrhea, gas etc. Ty for this video, had no idea I could be damaging my intestines with sugar alcohols!
Maybe that's what I need to cut out. No gum or energy drinks. Oh the struggle!!
Dang I'm glad I watched this!!
I was not diagnosed, but my digestive issues that plagued me for hours after meals on SAD disappeared on Day #4 of carnivore. My symptoms were bloating, miserable cramping, a toss-up between constipation and diarrhea. I would also have acid reflux and heartburn about 4 hours after eating. That also stopped. I am almost 3 months on carnivore and my tummy hasn't been this happy in years. I use some cream in my coffee, otherwise I typically don't eat any other dairy right now.
Been on a craze worried that my diverticulitis could lead to cancer and I’ve been worried trying to find ways to help it . I’m only 32 but been suffering for years now from diverticulitis
I am 67..back in the day my family always got bakery cake for birthdays. They were delicious. Then when I was 16 and after eating a cake, I got upset stomach. At 19 was my first IBS attack. A year later I could not go at all and dealt with c/d from then I. As most of us dealing with this, every time you go to the dr they say it’s your IBS acting up. I recently has a GI dr tell me that. For over 40 years I needed to lose weight and eat more fiber. Omg….I just gave up. My life has sucked and nobody understands why I can’t go out to eat or attention functions and I pray I never get jury duty. And going to the dentist is a nightmare as the anxiety causes intestinal rumblings.
I have done Keto, into carnivore and experimented with foods that are good or bad for me. I've learned some vegetables and dairy are not for me. I'm still on Keto after 8 months. The only problem I have is insomnia and I'm not stressed and bowels that need bile salts to work properly. I've lost 40lb and feel better and have more energy. I'm 68 I'll keep at it and hope my body and sleep adapts
Gosh...my experience is similar
Have you tried taking Melatonin as a natural sleep aid? Our brains produce less melatonin as we age, which contributes to poor sleep and poorer heart health. www.mercola.com is a great resource to consider.
And there was recently a promising study that melatonin also has protective effects against Coronavirus influenza like COVID, so further trials are being considered.
I continue being freshly amazed by how God made all the nutrients our body needs for healthy longevity.
Blessings to you on your health care journey.💜🙏🙂
Experiment with your eating and fasting times. You might find that eating once a day and at night makes your sleep better, or it might be the opposite, eating in the morning. It really depends on your your circadian rhythm is set.
@@melissam.6054 Thanks Melissa, I took melatonin for a month with no positive results. Funny thing is my energy levels are way up . Sometimes I will sleep 3 to 4 hours and I'm on top of the world. Maybe that's all I need...happy days
@@georginaK21 My eating times have remained very much the same for years. When I started Keto I slept a very deep 8 hours. Then after 3 months insomnia. I feel good, not stressed, I have energy and no brain fog. Sometimes I sleep 3 or 4 hours and I'm fit as a fiddle. Strange, but I can live with it until things adapt.
My IBS left when I started the carnivore diet. I did increase wih some digestive issues after increasing my use of dairy. I just eliminated dairy and my problems are clearing up quickly.
Thank you for another great video. I’ve shared this with two of my siblings who suffer from diverticulitis. They believe all the garbage the nutritionist are telling them. No red meats etc.
Have they improved by not eating red meat?
I don’t have diverticulitis but lately noticed that red meat seems to cause some constipation and discomfort.
@@TheBroLounge- red meat doesn’t cause constipation. Too little fat, salt, or magnesium does.
@@LauraB.335 My problem was caused by parasites. I still have to work out the beef digestion completely, but things are better.
I suffered from Amoebiasis due to mollases leaking into water supply. IBS n colitis were a way of life. I Stopped eating leaves on hearing a doctor on TV telling they are for cattle. My stomach ache stopped but IBS continued. Started taking coconut oil for energy. The IBS stopped and my earlobe cyst ! started reducing. Coconut oil is the only thing that worked for me.
Romans 14:1-23
1Thessalonians 5:21 Test all things; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.
I'm not very familiar with this FODMAP (?) topic and feel confused with this video. Going to read up on this topic. What is very interesting to me is that you have 800 LIKES and ZERO dislikes!
Have been a big fruit and vegetable eater. In trying to heal my gut problems, i gradually reduced my fruit consumption to next to nothing. Also reducing vegetables except for lettuces because I found difficulty digesting them especially the cruciferous ones. After starting keto, I really suffered from bloating and gut pain. Now I'm starting carnivore and the problem has lessened.
How long did it take you to feel better on carnivore? Especially how long did it take for bloating go away?
Once we can get anxiety stress traumas under control ibs and other ailments can heal 😢I’m in process 🙏
Carnivore fixed my diarrhea - still waiting on the diverticulosis. Within the first WEEK!
How long did it take to fix your diarrhoea. Pls tell
😮
Does the carnivore supposed to fix or not eliminate at least diverticulosis?
Are you still carnivore and did it fix your diverticulitis?
Thanks doc! Amazing information 👍 💩
My ongoing stomach issues have become so much better since quitting alcohol sugars. However the Admin of the Banting Group I was on strongly disagreed with any criticism against Erythritol or Xylitol so I left that group.
xylitol is quite ok as it is taken in small amounts. It will not be good in large amounts.
Listen carefully to what Dr Rob is saying... Sugar alcohols are FODMAPS.. They inflame and irritate the gut. Not fine in any amount for people who have IBS.
Sad. Its ur choice and should not be dogmatic
The only sweetener I tolerate is 100% pure sucralose powder form
What about Dr. Davis Williams recommending making your own L-Ruetori and inulin yogurt to get needed fiber especially if you have been Keto for 5+ years?
FODMAP was very helpful. Then moved onto Keto and things were even better. Lifetime of medication eliminated.
I love this thank you. Would apple cider vinegar pills help.
Overhyped imho
Worth trying. Has worked for some. Has other benefits. No harm.
I reversed my horrid imodium every other day ibs with keto within 8 months thanks doc
Dr Cywes, do you have a video on electrolytes? Thanks
I really hope you can help.
I also have severe diverticulosis. Is there anything different i should do? Right now i am having a terrible flare up. Is stevia bad?
Could Roundup in everyone's systems cause this? Since many people have it.
Look at Dr William Davis talks about wheat proteins
What are your thoughts on a bit of Monk Fruit?
Dr Cywes likes it.
When I was little there was no such thing as fibre. It was called "roughage".
Good day, can give your thoughts! I have no pain or discomfort or bloat. I poop 3 times a day, but 1 of 3 will ususally be looser. Other 2 perfectly fine…. Is something bad?
My IBS-d symptoms disappeared within 2 days of going keto, I was astounded and pleased because I found the fodmap diet to be so complicated... After a month on keto I started using stevia and monkfruit sweeteners and some of my symptoms came back, I didn't make the connection at first. I have lived with them since then ( 10 months) simply cuz I really like my coffee but need a little sweet in it 😕 but this video kind of gave me that kick in the butt in need to really get rid of sweeteners
Are you using pure stevia powder or a blend? The stevia powder (I use pyure) comes in a salt shaker sized canister with a tiny little scoop. Otherwise it's a mix and has typically has erythritol in it.
I've never seen monkfruit sweetners that aren't a blend with some kind of sugar alcohol.
If you're using a blend try switching to the pure extract. I find 1-1.5 scoop mixed in with my coffee and heavy cream is just about perfect. I like a scoop in my Fage 5% yogurt too.
Good luck!
Interesting! I have chronic diarrhea! & found there was no sodium in my system in the hospital! Drs made me stay in bed for fear of stroke!!!!
Dr Cyews, have u treated patients with Candida Overgrowth? did carnivore diet work for that?
Thanks, though I do struggle with medical people throwing out acronyms, shortcuts to explanations, that leave one unsure of what is being talked about, and the medical professional thinking they have communicated. FODMAP very likely stands for something(s) but I had to rewind the whole thing twice to begin to grasp. ( and still have absolutely no idea about the choice of “FODMAP” and leaves me wondering “what could those letters possibly stand for?”
Google is your friend 😊
What about eating fermented foods like sauerkraut?
My question too!
Amazing
IBS robbed me of 20lbs over 3 years. Could barely eat. Switched to keto/carnivore. 3 weeks ago. Feel Great! Don't poop 5 times a day. Measurably in ketosis. Went from 182 in IBS. Down to 162 now. How do I get my muscles back? Most all the weight I lost was muscle. I'm 5'11". About 3/4 of my food is meat and fat. Some green vegetables. Happy eating twice a day. Medium lunch big supper.
Keep going it takes time. Walking, and if you can some light weight training. Many carnivores do no exercise and they gain muscle!
I've just had cabbage and I am in so much pain. 🥵😭My intestines just can't tolerate it.
Hej doc, is it carnivore also good if you have IBS-C? I suppose it must be started gradually, any suggestions or protocol how to transition to be safe and easy?
How about fermented foods such as kimchi and sauerkraut? Do we handle those well?
No it’s fermented.
I've read that Fermented foods have been really beneficial for those with diverticulitis. Especially kefir
You could try these foods separately and if you have a reaction from it, stop eating it. Elimination is your best friend. You can try to reintroduce later to see if you can tolerate it, if not leave it alone
Help I’ve tried everything. This last flare almost took me out seriously. I have ibs and diverticulitis
Mr.Cywes, you are the Santa Claus of the Low Carb Community 🎅
Hmm, I'm just curious...is Psyllium Husk not advisable for diverticulitis ?
Is taking probiotics recommended with the Carnivore diet?
It’s actually insane how many humans have some sort of health condition . It’s going up yearly too . I think it would all go away with the elimination of sugar and lowering carbs significantly
What about quinoa? It's a grain with 9 essential amino acids, is there no value in this grain?
Can C. Diff cause diverticulosis?
I do eat some veggies but I’m thinking I’m gonna cut it out except in maybe a smoothie.
What do you do when first starting Carnivore about constipation?
I been having really hard time I can't go bathroom regularly trap gas almost everyday I have ibs it feels like I am getting worse instead of better
Weird thing if i use a single green like baby kale cooked in olive oil or avocado oil it gets me regular. I cant do carnivore more single greens like that or certain greens like frise or green lettuce in evoo and celtic salt carrots oranic celery organic. I m telling you organic doesn’t do what non organic greens do to you . I was healthier when i was only doing it. I do it in my meals sometimes family meals cause me to have issues especially with meats or sweets. I could be really happy just being greens easy to digest and pineapple is the best of course fresh . I think i don’t eat enough sometimes and sometimes to sedentary due to foot and hip issues.
Iam on 10th day of carnivore diet .all symptoms gone except for loose motion . I have ibs d . I take zincorup syrup as a supplement. So how to firm the stool
Doc I was told by my gastro doc after a recent colonoscopy that I had diverticula. Not diverticulitis. 5 years earlier no diverticula on a colonoscopy. Gastro doc said the meat heavy diet (ketovore/carnivore) caused the diverticula to form. Referred me to eat more fiber, take probiotics, etc. Also noticed in the last 8 months I haven't been able to digest animal fat like I used to. I switched to keto 2.5 years ago and have been doing mostly carnivore over the past 8 months. I don't have a gall bladder as of 2008. Not really sure what to do now diet wise. Taking some ox bile supplements but really haven't noticed a difference. Is there any relation to having food sensitivities/allergies that could cause the diverticula to form?
Hi Dr. Cywes! I’m unsuccessfully trying to heal DIVERTICULITIS. I just read 2 Pubmed studies saying that RED MEAT causes diverticulitis flares. UGH! HELP🙏🏻
I’ve read that too! What is the truth?
