As a 60+ year old woman with 60+ years of painful, often agonizing guts & reflux, thank you. I went low carb years ago, dropped 31kegs and healed all my gut problems upper & lower but Aussie dieticians are obsessed with gut microbiome and telling us we'll get cancer if we don't eat grains everyday. That scared me back into obesity and beer guzzling via carb addiction.
Watching your vids had me purge the cupboards and fridge and restored my faith in low carb lifestyle.
Wow... we send people to the moon... and yet, what we don't know about our own bodies is simply amazing. Thanks Dr. Cywes.
Props to you! You are spot on and most us never think in these terms. A man on the moon and were still trying to figure out the proper human diet 🤦♀️. I ❤️ your comment🤗.
That's because too much money is at stake to make you stop eating steak...lol.
Maybe Elon Musk could fund some REAL nutrition studies
I always found high fibre intake caused me to be constipated, no matter that I exercised, drank lots of water, etc....I feel so much better leaning heavy to the Carnivore side. It's true that bowel movements are less frequent and much smaller, but what difference in how I feel. Plus gas and bloating are non existent now. We've been told so much bullshit over the past few decades, that it's really harmed our health. Dr. Cywes is leading people back to better health. The whole bullshit about needing so much fibre can be found in Dr. Ken Berry's book "Lies my doctor told me" I own it and it's an awesome read" It will discuss fibre, salt, fat, cholesterol, calcium, wheat, nuts and seeds, food pyramid, etc...
Curious what was said about calcium
*It makes sense that your body would want to take longer and absorb more nutrients out of the meat and have less poop.* Ever eat McDonalds and take a giant shit? Logically, it’s because it’s all full of processed empty calories and crap; hence, why your body wants to get rid of it quickly and absorb less nutrients from it.
@@CreatingintheWaiting Sorry for late reply Arlene. Just noticed your reply. In Dr. Berry's book it's Chapter 15. The Lie "Eating or drinking too much calcium can lead to kidney stones" No research has shown the relationship between high calcium intake and kidney stones. Also Dr. Berry suggests keeping a better eye on Vitamin D3 levels. He claims this is the nutrient most women are deficient in and which is important in increasing bone strength. It's a great book. There is also an electronic version in addition to the paper version. Interestingly enough, he also claims drinking milk or dairy isn't necessary (we are pushed by the dairy industry, sales...sales... sales) and we can get plenty of calcium from a natural whole foods diet with kale, sardines, broccoli, okra, and almonds.
So confusing because I know of a man who did carnivore, and his cholesterol went up to 500! FIVE HUNDRED! So maybe everyone is different. Idk!
Perfect, I'm waiting for that video more than 3 months. I have a friend that suffering from diverticulosis. He just had surgery and they removed part of his colon. Unfortunately in the moment he is fascinated by the ridiculous zone diet of Dr Barry Sears. Diet very high in fibre and very low on fat. I tried to convince him that high fat diet will reduce the inflammation but he doesn't want to listen. I really hope that this video will help.
The info that probiotic supplements are beneficial for non-carnivore digestion was a lightbulb moment for me. Makes so much sense that the gut biome would adjust to what you eat - no wonder that I'm much less gassy when I go very low carb.
Yes, I liked that he said blue cheese is good for the carnivore biome…love blue cheese!
Now that I am VERY low carb, my gas is gone!! I love it!
My guts on ketovore are the very best they have been since my early 20s. Predictability is litterally a God Send. I AM almost 20 years post op open RNY and didn't know it was possible to not worry about where the bathroom is anywhere I go. And the ulser I had due to surgical scar tissue in my stomach has not once acted up since changing... I rarely am gassy as well.. Your great Doc... thanks for all the great info.
Hi I’m planning move to ketovore too can share mostly what meat veg are you eating?
@@Vihopefamily HI! Right now I'm doing Dr Ken's BBBE (bacon beef butter and egg) challange. I'm afraid it's a little much for the long run. Before now and after... Any Meat seafood once or twice a week is good in as much as I like variety. BACON Sausage with no added sugar... I make my own Bone broth always have a pot on the stove. Either Chicken Beef and occasionally Turkey... I make my broth with parsley onion garlic and celery... Eggs I go thru quite a few and if my chickens ever start laying I will have to go thru more... Veggies. CUCUMBER Zuchini Avacado and I cook meats w onions and garlic... its manditory expecially after this BBBE event... the side I eat of veggies as a rule is maybe a half cup maybe 3 to 4 times a week.
Oh and I use dairy... but I've learned to slow my roll with that cheese adds up... I can eat more then I think I'm eating. I also use heavy cream and sour cream.
Dr Cywes, As a seasoned surgeon, Thank you for this authoritative dictum on fiber. 🙌🏻
As an omnivore, I had IBS. As a vegan, I had terrible IBS and used to poop up to 8 times a day and was constantly bloated and gassy. As a carnivore and now ketovore, I poop once a day clean wipe, no smell. Heaven!
hi I'm Ibs-c moving to ketovore may I know how much vegetable and mostly what type you're eating?
@@zlmdragon. can I ask you what they are? Avocados? What else? Thanks so much!
@@zlmdragon. thanks
I agree 100%. For me, health came when I gave up troughs of salads/vegetables, plus digestive enzymes.
Agreed.
Lightbulb moment for me with your comment here! May I ask… what kind of digestive enzymes?? How did you feel on and off the enzymes?? I am about 5.5 months 80% animal based. I don’t have a gall bladder and a couple months ago I started taking HCL Guard+ (Healthy Gut brand) for low stomach acid issues, which did seem to help quite a bit. Then I also added the Holozyme enzymes (also Healthy Gut) because I’m dealing with some hair loss from loosing 67 lbs in less than 10 months as well as low estrogen, and wanted to make sure I was breaking down absorbing all the nutrients from all the meat, fish, and eggs I’m eating. And then… I added in Tributyrin-X (Healthy Gut) because all three are suppose to work together. Carnivore Yogi talks about these supplements in some her videos and I thought I’d give them a try. In your experience do you think I’m kind of shooting myself in the foot and taking these supplements is unnecessary? Maybe I should just stick to the HCL Guard+ 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
I currently take hcl and digestive enzyme supplements. I have seen great results from doing a carnivore diet. Are all enzyme supplements plant based, for help digesting fiber? what about goat kefir? How do you build gut health and your microbiome without eating fermented foods?
You gave up veggies? So you are fully carnivore? I'd never do that
@@jaysbakes37 you can't even in poop bro. Stop being religious about your ego investments.
Wish my Mom could have had this information. About 10 years ago she had 18 inches of her colon removed for precancerous polyps and then a few months later had hemorrhoidectomy. Those two surgeries just a few months apart nearly killed her. In her younger years she ate all the crap in an effort to be thin (always just 20-30 pounds overweight) and ended up with diabetes anyway later in life. Did the low-fat, high fiber, high carb, multi-grain diet as was recommended by food pyramid and all the diets of the time. Thought food like whole grain crackers were healthy and the margarine and seed oil products. She lived to be 82 but the last few years of her life were made miserable by gut and intestinal distress and preoccupation and the long goodbye that is dementia. What a crime the medical, food, and pharmaceutical industries have committed against the American people. Thanks to docs like Cywes who are getting the word out about all the lies we’ve been told. Ive done it enough to know that I feel much better when I stick to carnivore and some low carb veg. I believe my Mom would still be alive if she had been able to make these changes.
This is wonderful information. I Had 2 doctors suggest probiotics for digestive gas build-up and and constipation.. I'm sure you can just guess what happened... It just made me worse. That was the beginning of my journey into figuring out how to eat things that would not try try to kill me. I have been on this journey for 10 months and ended up Low carb Ketovour With a couple of days of PSMF a week My body just Naturally poops on its own now every couple of days... It's like a poop miracle seriously lol... No more Discomfort.. Relying on chemicals to go... I've lost 48 pounds... No more fatty liver ... Oh yes the fatty liver thing ... Those doctors both told me it was normal at my age to have some of that... I just thank God for doctors like you and the rest of the eat right community for sharing information .You really made my life much better!!! God-bless you
Thank you for all you do to help people. 🙏
my gut got better within 3 days of starting keto. not a hint of problem
Just hearing someone use the term "a perfect turd" just made my day
Dr Cywes, this is so timely. I've had a diverticulitis flare that required antibiotics. Thank you for this!
Only doc on TH-cam soliciting patients!
Keep it up, Dr. Cywes!
I like your window of the outside background better.
Thank you Doctor,I have no idea about all these. Your videos have taught me a lot about food , diet n everything. It's really amazing.
7 polyps, 5 of which were precancerous on my initial colonoscopy in 2017. Keto in 2018. 2nd colonoscopy-clear. The MD told me to eat more fiber...
Wow, wish my Mom had this info. She had 18 inches of colon removed for precancerous polyps and that had a downward cascading effect on her health over 10 years. Good for you!
Thanks Rob, you are making more and mores sense of my actual experience as a 3 year keto veteran - particularly because of your recent introduction of the idea of cycling in and out of ketosis using gluconeogenesis. The pieces of the puzzle are beginning to fit much better for me. This video likewise explains why I notice a distinctly different kind of bowel movement on the keto/carnivore diet. I grew up on a cow farm where I regularly found it necessary to employ a large shovel and wheelbarrow, so I appreciate how differently herbivores break down their food. ;-)
I so appreciate how u explain this, doc! Been wondering about carnivore diet and the need for probiotic supplement, and u explained it so well. More videos for a healthy gut, pls! God bless you 😊
Im 63 and have been 99% carnivore for 2+ years.. I literally have 1 to 2 bowel movements per week and i aint shittin you... Never been healthier
Same here ;-)
Lolol... like litterally ain't sitting you... lolol
I love the pun "i ain't shittin you"
61 and doing the same. I wouldn't shit you.
@@canonen100 YES! Been like this for 10 years and it's normal poop, no straining... I have always thought that it meant that my body was using most of the nutrients so there was less waste. When I eat high carb, I need to poop every day and there is just more bulk.
My physician wanted me to take probiotics. I've never even considered taking them.
I have had a lot of digestive issues throughout my life which I now KNOW was caused mostly from my poor diet. I drink apple cider vinegar in ny tea twice a day most days. I started that shortly after I started keto in March. I've not had the same issues and have not really had any problems except for the stomach ache a couple days in a row - which was alleviated when I popped.
I take probiotics only after I take a round of antibiotics.
How much ACV do you take? Thanks!
Yes, I know. I ate a primarily vegetarian diet for decades. I had GI issues. They became very bad GI issues. I went to GI Dr's. They didn't examine me, & told me everything I was reporting wasn't possible; Nothing I was reporting was Possible. I now have stage 1 GI cancer & looking at a possible GI resectioning. I get colonoscopies every 6 months, that's the only treatment I get. Thanks for your vids Dr.; US Dr's don't have to help you, & if you die, they're done listening to you whine, so they're good. This is a great vid, bc I have some bacteria overgrowth, just started taking (pro/prebiotics), & was planning on taking them for abt 6 months, to get back on track. So far I actually like the results from the supp I'm taking, & hoping the 6 month period will help at least a little. I have a few disabling medical conditions that aren't really being managed by Dr's, so I'm just grasping at straws trying to figure out how to feel better. Thanks so much for your input, I'm Def going to try & connect w/ you folks for some advice 👍🏼
Thank you !!!
So appreciate this reassurance.
I eat veggies/salad because I enjoy them but not for fiber content but I do count the carbs from the veggies. Max total carbs of 20 but often
If you eat non starchy vegetables, you really don't need to count any of the carbs in it.
@@oysteinsoreide4323I know that’s Dr Cywes method of keto but I totally disagree. I count every carb that I consume. I’ve shed 70# in 8 months following Dr Wiseman’s and Dr Berry’s method of counting ALL carbs, total not net.
@@patcyzauskas7216 I'm way too lazy to count everything I eat. That is just insane way to let all you eat have to be calculated.
It seems like everyone is different. I know of someone who went carnivore and he now has cholesterol at 500! So what the heck do i do? I want to heal this diverticulitis but I feel lost
Cholesterol is never a, danger
Great video….
This is NEW!!. Have we studies on this? Please, give us .
Thank you❤
That is why these....people are great
👌🏼 Thank you Dr. Cywes. God bless you and your family! 🙏🏼 😊
Well I will try here = did pure carnivore for 6 months and gave up since the diarrhea continued the whole time which is ironic since part of the reason I started was IBSD (also hoped energy/depression would lessen (they didn't). I am trying ZC again and the diarrhea has started again. I am taking loperamide and going to buy betaine hcl and liptase. I guess pepsin and ox bile are worth a go. Some are suggesting vit C or a small amount of fibre as well
So timely!! Needed this!
Was just told have Diverticulosis but nothing more as to how to repair or what to digest to not make it worse. Do you have a video pertaining to this matter. Search is on! Thank you for your video.
Same question! How are you doing now?
Excellent, excellent, excellent.
We can't digest fibre. We don't have beta amylases to breakdown the beta 1-4 and 1-6 glycosidic linkages. It therefore provides no nutritional value and is therefore not essential. The very little short chain free fatty acids are not adequate enough to consider it essential, we also make those fatty acids endogenously in our livers.
It's funny, I've been asked by friends I am helping on their new keto journey, about this very question, twice this week. I've advised them to stay the course, and allow their digestive system to adjust to their new carnivorous diet. All you need is salt, fat and water, to make good poop. Not fibre...
This is illuminating, thanks Doc. After reducing carbs to almost 0 (almost) I had questions :o
Thank you, I LOVE BLUE CHEESE!!!! Especially on ground beef. Headed to Costco now😎
Good information. I have been on the carnivore diet for two months and lost 30 pounds. Other health benefits also. At the same time I was having to take two rounds of antibiotics for an infection. Is there anything I can do to replenish the enzymes necessary for a carnivore diet. I’m going 5 to 7 days in between bowel movements. should this be a concern? Also, is there anything that I can do to help out.
Quick question... why does poop sometimes float and sometimes sink? Is one preferred? Thanks, you are my new guru!
Prefer sinking, floaters show poor fat digestion . Gallbladder insufficiency( not enough bile) released when eating fats. Also low stomach acid.Eating carbs with fats , or overeating ,will hinder digestion. Eating quality fats( no Crisco or seed oils) and proteins earlier in the day, chewing thoroughly,and eating on an empty stomach( better bile release when not grazing all day)I suffered for four decades of high carb, low fat ,until I found out why nature put a soap bag attached to my liver. I suffer no more!
Does the bacteria in kefir and yogurt support enzymatic digestion?
I would say yes, if it's from raw dairy...
Very interesting. Always learning from The Carb Addiction Doc. Thx for freely sharing your knowledge.
Thanx!! ✌🏽🧡😊
I wish Dr. Cywes could debate a Dr. Gundry who is a huge advocate of plant based diet and supplement and says we must avoid lectins in foods
Great info, thank you. Are the probiotics in greek yogurt good for the carnivore biome?
Hi Dr. Cywes. I was diagnosed with colon cancer this year and had surgery to remove the tumor. All my doctors are now telling me not to eat meat again and to go plant based with more fiber. Not even chicken and fish. Why are they saying this?
They are uneducated on the latest science!
@@lf7065 So frustrating
They like repeat customers.
Ignorance
Good information, how about coffee in the morning? Coffee makes you poop, is that good or bad? I guess if you have constipation, it might be good but if you don't have constipation and your poop is not firm, has no shape to it with green color?? is that mean you poop too early before you fully absorbed all the nutrition out of the food??
major problem with reflux and suffer from dehydration which gives me a very hard dehydrated poop in the morning cause I am lucky at 74 I don't have to get up in the night. I sweat profusely through out the day and especially at night. I drink over 3 litres of fluid a day. My diet since early 2020 has been minimal carb and high fat ( not seed oil)and lost 13 kg this way. Have not gained weight back but do eat a fresh fruit nut dnd yoghurt breakfast. My doctors keep advising more fibre!! and recommend laxatives which I refuse, but looks like I am going to have to ditch my favourite breakfast for bacon and eggs. Have had polyps removed several times and have been diagnosed with diverticulosis, get lots of lower abdominal pain at odd times. Thanks for the advice Coming from a farm here in NZ have always eaten loads of fresh fruit, but this may have to change ( Don't drink or smoke but looks like one of my last pleasures will need to be restricted)
prior to doing the carnivore diet I tried an expensive probiotic which drastically increased my ibd colitis symptoms. In desperation I turned to the carnivore way of eating and symptoms reversed within 48hrs.
you are such a great teacher doc...thank you
What about raw milk kefir? Isn’t that carivore based probiotic?
Hi Robert. Do you think oxcilates from some veg is needed or not?
Still hoping to be able to get off my laxatives. Been low carb for 2+ years now. I've recently halved my dose, and was instantly constipated, after basically having diarrhea before that. So I'm now trying 2 days on, 1 day off instead. I'm considering dropping veggies, however my favorite meals contain them :P
Funny and very informative. I agree 👍 since eating keto / Carnivore my stomach is flat and calm. When I ate bread and co I was always bloated.
When starting IF and KETO I was really worried about the lack of nr2s. I went from 2 times a day loads of mushy wet fluff to once or twice a week and just a bit. So I added fibres to get some poop. Good to know it isn't necessary to do that. This vid is a good explanation of what happens! Btw I also dropped 20kg in 4 months.
is that healthy not pooping? I mean dose it mean you have constipation?
I swear when you eat a steak, it gets totally absorbed. There is nothing to eliminate. Just saying.
So that’s why I haven’t been going. Will this lead to weight gain though?
I was freaking out about this at first. Thought I was dealing with some sort of blockage or something. Then I learned about a low residue diet, which the carnivore diet seems to be.
@@jeffmcelroy5437 Yes, you are not using the bathroom all the time. It gives your gut time to heal and strengthen.
@@jaysbakes37 Excess food leads to weight gain. Too much protein may induce weight gain.
@@jaysbakes37 excess of protein and fat will also make you gain weight. But it's much easier to gain weight with carbs. Because carbs makes you hungry and protein and fat makes you feel satiated. But it doesn't mean that you can't gain weight with proteins and fat only. Of course you can do that
So much can be learned about our health from our gut/poop and we never talk about it - even with our doctors and it's just stupid. We all poop. And because we all have a different gut biome, we all poop differently.
I learned about 10 years ago (and maybe this is bad, I don't know...) but when I eat low carb, I poop MUCH less. I poop every 2-3 days. It can go as long as every 7 days. And when I poop, my poop is not dry and hard, but just a normal poop that took a long time to work itself through my gut/body.
When I eat higher-carb foods, within a day or two, I need to poop every day. Again, it's normal, but it's more than twice the volume. I've never heard of that for anyone else, but since we never talk about poop, maybe it's common.
Great video
Great info.. thanks for explaining this in so simple words to understand
I love this guy!
"Wallet Biopsy" Haha :-)
Actually I eat much vegetables and some meat, cheese and eggs. But when I went on a keto diet, even with much vegetables, my intestines became much calmer and relaxed. So I definately went in the right direction for my digestive system. If it really helps to go all the way to a carnivore diet for me, I'm not sure.
Thanks a lot Dr. Cywes. I’m on carnivore but have constipation. What’s your advice?
I experience the same, especially if I add dairy. I've always done well with veggies, so I have added low xarb veggies back in (up to 50g some days). BM"s are great again! 🙂
Magnesium supplements cured my constipation x
My digestion has never been better since going carnivore. I used to suffer from extremely bad IBS and GERD, all gone now that I'm on a carnivore diet.
This guy truly knows his shit ! 🤣
😁😁😁
Help! Does anyone have advice on recurring diverticulitis???
Excellent video doc!
Bowels to The Wall Doc! As usual, You prove, You really Know Your Shit! lol
Another great pun!
😁😁😁😁
Lol!!! Thanks for that! 🤣🤣
Hi Rob, absolutely love your content. 4 months in and feel finally fat adapted and loving it. I have one concern about keto that I would trust you the most to address. It's about sodium, more specifically sodium and potassium relationship. I understand that this is the possible issue with too much salt? Would love for you to clear this up?
Great info. Thanks again!
So are you saying eating homemade fermented foods such as sauerkraut and pickles are not easy to digest in a mainly carnivore diet?
I’ve been carnivore for almost 2 years and still have loose stool. So I added psyllium to help with the urgency issues I was experiencing from the loose stool. And suggestions? Is psyllium a bad idea? It is helping.
Less fat
If your loose stools are yellowish in colour that would be a possible clue to your eating too much fat, also as you do carnivore for longer you need to change your fat to protein ratio just a bit towards protein. Perhaps do a 24 hr fast ? I find no food for a bit to be helpful.
@@jksinorbit no yellow stool. I was paleo keto for 3 years before going dairy free carnivore.
I fast for 16-18 hrs daily and eat 2 meals/day.
I just can't get on with bread or pasta and all the rest of that stuff these days. As a carnivore over the last five years I defecate around 3-4 times a week. Before carnivore I could 'dump' 2-3 times a day and there was an urgency to it also. Now, it's more like, yeah, I need to dump but I'll d it later and there is definitely no urgency to it and I hardly need to wipe. At 60 I have never felt better with more energy and no meds. Thanks to Doctors like this I have a 31 inch waist and the right weight for height ratio.
My child has cystic fibrosis and just had a bowel clean out. they gave her, go lightley and meralax. I am trying to get my daughter on carnivore, she eats pasta, chicken, pizza, burger king and loves bread.
Coz u cook them
"Colon" sounds better when Dr Cywes says it
I can not imagine that I am asking this ;) But here it goes. Is there any other who does not necessarily need TP when you have bowl movements daily? One roll of toilet paper lasts a month for me, because I use one sheet per day. Crazy stuff.
There should be a skill testing question for how many times the word sh*t was used. 🙌🙌
I laughed at "a proper turd".
Yes, I'm eight.
Glad you're learning this early, kid. Good for you.
I'm doing carnivore diet for almost a year now, and I added goat yogurt lately, and I noticed I poo more....
Had high Fiber , constipation worse than ever
Dr Cywes, could you possibly at some point explain the idea of physiological insulin resistance? It’s a new concept that I just recently learned of, and I’m not sure if I should be concerned.
I’ve been LC for several years now, and I’ve been seeing my fasting glucose level rise bit by bit. I just had a blood test last week where my FBG (after a 16 hr fast) was 93 (I know that’s considered “normal”, but was a bit higher than I had expected it to be).
Having that level should not worry you at all. And as long as you have stable weight, you should also not worry. But if you see that you lose muscles, and gain weight even on low carb, then you may have to find out why it happens. High cortisol, too much stress, too little sleep etc may cause insulin reistance even on a low carb diet as a cortisol triggers high level of transformation of muscles into sugar. Blood sugar is much more stable on a low carb diet than on a carb based diet. And the level isn't necesarly very low.
Both my aunt and mother suffered from diverticulitis 🙁 May husband cannot get his head around the idea of no fibre
What is the best thing to do if you switch to a carnivore diet and you’re a little constipated?
Eat more fat and salt
Radical! 👊🏽
Do I need to worry about high glucose with no dietary carbs or sugars?..fastings always in 200s, but I'm ketovore, mostly carnivore..is the high fastings bad for me even tho I'm not taking in carbs and sugars?..ty so much sir!!took self off meds months ago, fast 16 plus hours daily. I know it's liver dumping, but am I going in the right direction?
Your clinic doesn't accept my insurance...😔
May be diabetes
You really need to see a doctor about that. Or call and make a phone appointment with Dr. Cywes.
When I'm eating strict carnivore, my blood sugar never goes above 120. You should probably see a doctor if your fasting sugar is 200.
My lab tests are in. And I'm confused. I don't know what is what any more. I always felt bad after eating carbs, my body weight has dropped a lot from last year. No energy, always want to eat, drink. I started thinking that I might be Type 1 diabetic. So I got tested. I drank glucose, for 2 hour test. To see blood sugar and insulin. After one hour passed i felt I'm gonna die. All body shaking, almost lost consciousness. I went to pee 3 times in one hour. I don't know why, but I pee so often especially after carbs. So... Tests show that I'm not type 1. I made insulin. Way to much of it. Normal marker limit was 25, mine was almost 35. Blood sugar was normal. So my pancreus makes tons of insulin. But what's the point ? If I pee all sugar immediately ? I can't gain any weight. I have severe psoriasis. So I understand that my gut lining is destroyed. Poop tests shows that my gut don't digest proteins properly to. So final thoughts: no matter what I eat or drink, everything pass through and I don't absorb anything.
What about the theories that fibre is needed to remove excess estrogen out of the body?
Dr. Cywes, I know the carnivore diet seems to work well, for me and others. The historical data strongly supports a very high level meat intake at the top of the food chain, above lions and wolves. The only way for that to occur would have been by consuming lions and wolves or other large carnivores. The health benefits of going carnivore do not appear to be short term (7 to 14 yrs) like veganism. The stomach acid of a human appears designed specifically for handling meat and the intestine design does as well, much closer to a lion than a gorilla. I do have a question though. How are butyrates, akkermansia muciniphila, bifidobacterium produced on a carnivore diet? There appears to be a lot of research showing the importance of these things to the very foundation of health. Also there appears to be a lot of research that shows some specific fibrous foods produce them, while a fatty diet reduces them. It appears that the two theories cannot coincide however maybe like other things in the past it is simply due to a lack of the current knowledge level and a dogmatic approach from both sides. As an older and lifelong raiser and very detailed observer of true pastured and forested cattle, goats, sheep, hogs and chickens I have a theory that in the past it would have been produced by polyphenols or some other currently unknown thing in the meat from these animals. All of these animals will selectively eat the most nutrient dense items in there niche. Animals that eat forbs and deep rooted woody leaf forage or the bugs that eat them should have a high concentration of polyphenols in the meat such as larger fish have high concentrations of mercury because they concentrate the nutrients/contaminants of things lower in the food chain. However, after many many hours of searching I have found no research to support or discredit this theory of polyphenol concentration in the meat that might produce the butyrates, akkermansia muciniphila or bifidobacterium. Any thoughts on how to reconcile this dichotomy with the current knowledge we have?
This comment is not intended to send you on a wild goose chase but I vaguely recall Dr. Stephen Phinney alluding to butyrate possibly coming from the betahydroxybutyrate (BHB) produced when one does the Keto diet and succeeds in being in nutritional ketosis.
Another researcher (I can't recall if it was Ben Bikman or Dom D'Agostino, or someone else) also alluded to the BHB--> butyrate link.
Sorry, that slim thread is the best I've got.
@@miklimecat9636 Thank you I will take it clue. Thank you for the names to look up. I had thought about what if the entire process changes or there are different requirements when in ketosis on meat only, similiar as with vitamin C. But was finding nothing, who knows I may catch that goose, their good eating, PIA to raise though.
@@rosseryn8216 good luck and have fun researching!
Edit : I'll take your word that they're a PIA to raise, but definitely very good eats 😋
If the purpose of the colon is only to process water and salt in and out via its lining, then how come the fecal matter transplant works magic for a lot of people? Actually asking. I want to understand the mechanics.
I was keto for a year and then 2 yrs carnivore and now added back some carbs (mainly some rice). I can’t figure out why my BM are lose. No matter what I eat, I have lose stools :(
Gallbladder issue
what about sauerkraut?
Fermented foods are OK on keto. Dr. Ken Berry
@@canonen100 I'm confused. Isn't he saying not to eat foods like sauerkraut?
Sauerkraut is wonderful! A little goes a long way. 🙂
So confusing! Dr. Berg says sauerkraut is good!
I've had gut issues and chronic fatigue for 14 years now, currently about 90% carnivore, drinking lots of kefir is this helpful or would kefir contain mostly bacteria for breaking down fibre?
Doubt it
No.. Kefir bad.. But don't listen to anybody.. Listen to your body!!
Wait, rewind that... Did he just say, "A proper turd?" Always good nuggets of funny with valuable information. 👍
Floaters or sinkers, does it matter?
Depends on fat content
Floaters means you're not digesting fats properly.
Large and bouyant or small and dense? Oh wait, that's LDL.🙂
Floaters can be just trapped gas.
@@robertcywes2966 Please expand on this? They asked, "does it matter?". Does it? I'm thinking that if the poop sinks then you're not eating enough fat. But if it's floating does that mean the fat is not fully digested?
I’ve recently developed intolerance to lactose! 😱. I’m wondering if carnivore will heal my gut enough so I can consume cheese again.
“A proper turd.” That made me laugh aloud.
Help please! I have been trying to switch to carnivore, but every time I find that I get constipated, only “go” every 3 or 4 days (after taking a herbal laxative) & by that time I feel very uncomfortable! It seems that I need the fibre, but I would much rather have meat/fat! Can anyone shed any light on this?
I also get constipated from pure carnivore, especially if I add cheese. So, I have added low carb veggies back in, up to 50g. Problem solved! My body loves both meat AND veg together! Don't follow dogma, instead do what works for YOUR body. 🙂
@@lf7065 me too!
You said you only go after 3-4 days and after taking an herbal laxative. Are you sure you're constipated? Infrequent poop is not necessarily the same as constipation. Constipation is pooping with pain and straining. Just wondering because identifying the right problem leads to the right solution.
@@miklimecat9636 definitely constipated….straining etc!
@@leoniepearson7148 oh noes, that is constipation 😯
Just when I thought something wasn't right. At last I found the answer.
I was wondering why in the world I was not pooping much and hardly every few days.
Bara bang, bada boom.
