Carnivore Diet Trouble: This Caused an Entire Year of Nausea

[@SteakandButterGal]

Excellent video and thank you for the shoutout, Adam! No salt life is amazing! 🔥

[@CarnivoreToday]

Any time, my friend! ❤️

[@itstime...8622]

Bella you fixed me too... No Salt!!!

[@annalancaster9357]

Was also blessed by your videos, Bella. I never did thank you for the video that you dropped less than 24 hours after I commented one of your videos, concerning explosive diarrhea in my 1st 2 weeks of carnivore . I didn’t think I was going be able to continue on the carnivore diet. Less than 24 hours after that comment you dropped very detailed video about navigating through and calming down diarrhea and other symptoms of Keto flu. I overnighted the supplements you suggested and implemented your directions . I found a relief within two days of implementing them. I showed the video to my daughter-in-law and said I think Bella dropped this just for me. She watched the video with me and chuckled when you said, drink room, temperature water not cold, and keep water as far away from your meals while still being diligent to hydrate. It’s an Asian thing. She said, “yes mom, that is an Asian thing, I don’t think iced water has ever passed my lips. It’s been great being part of the Steak And Butter Gang. Thank you, Bella and Adam for all the work that you do to help people navigate their way back to health.

[@alvinkim1305]

Thanks to both of you. I am going to try that...

[@AmandaE1964]

I hope this is my issue…two weeks in and I feel sick, nauseous. I want to quit the diet. I did up the salt today, tomorrow I will go salt tree and see, thanks for the info 😊

[@gregcochennet385]

Great video. I am experiencing the same thing. Only been on carnivore 7weeks. First 5 weeks were fine. Now every time I eat it’s right to the bathroom. I never even feel like eating. Stomach is always rumbling. Taking electrolytes several times a day and might not be getting enough fat in my diet. Mainly eating beef and chicken with cheese. Got some pork rinds to munch on through the day.

[@FredDurst-es3po]

Man you nailed it. I couldnt figure why and it was really strong with me almost vomiting, loosing all my forces, when the nauseas happens, like 5-6 times a day, sometimes almost 5 minutes really bad. Thank you so much for this video.

Are you better now?

[@TL71913]

I Love all these different carnivore videos and how people's bodies are so different as far as what one person can tolerate but the next person can't. I think this is why it's not helping when people tell someone what they should and shouldn't do because something is working for them. People should do the work, experiment and figure out what's good for their own body. I'm glad you found the answer to your problem. Steak and Butter Gal is Awesome!!!

[@Radoslav-gk7wu]

Not all ppl are different ❤. We all are almost same. ❤ The damage to our bodies may be so much different from all the other diets so we return back to our "proper himan diet" far slower than any other specie. We, as just one and only specie in the world forgot what to eat primarily...

[@Fatfearless]

I also cut back on salt to help with nausea. But what really 3:14 3:22 worked for me is fermented foods. Kimchi sauerkraut and plain kifer milk. I added just a tablespoon to every meal. No more nausea perfect poos. I lived in Korea a year when i was very young and tried kimchi,hated it. Love it now with everything.

[@candelladaniel5107]

Homemade kimchi is the best. Better for health and amazing flavor

[@pabeader1941]

Salt is what makes meat edible. Without salt, all I would do is drink water. All meat tastes like liver to me, and I HATE liver. So glad I don't have any of the symptoms you were experiencing. So happy that you have found a solution that works for you.

[@CarnivoreToday]

Thanks! I was using Redmonds for 10 months and still had the nausea, but worse. When I switched to Maldon the nausea lessened slightly, then went away completely once I cut out all salt. Since I have gone salt-free, I have no issues with flavor. I have a super heightened sense of taste since stopping salt.

[@Stuart.Branson.]

That's weird. My Lamb tastes like tasty Lamb and defo doesn't need salt. My steaks taste like steaks. Nothing tastes like liver except liver.

[@OP-lk4tw]

@@CarnivoreToday be careful, i also had trouble with salt, eliminated and felt better, yet after a few months i started feeling veeery fatigued, i couldn't figure out why, it turns out it was sodium deficiency, as soon as i ate some salt i started feeling good again, so yea.. sometimes thing work only for some time

Wow, that’s crazy. Salt helps me if I feel nauseated - at least for now. So glad you figured that was it for you and are feeling so much better!

[@candelladaniel5107]

I’m going to try this! I’ve been very nauseated, not only after eating, but pretty much all the time lately. I’m pretty sure it started at the same time I started making sole water and using it in all my water. I can’t wait to see if giving up the salt helps. Thanks for sharing this!

[@OaktownGirl]

Wow, that's great news, Adam! I never in a million years would have connected salt and nausea. Especially the more healthy salts that carnivores favor. Yes, Bella's Steak and Butter group is fantastic. I joined 2 weeks into my Carnivore journey (I waited until the 1st day of the month, Lol), and it was easily the best carnivore move I made. I have learned so much and highly recommend it to anyone, even if it's just for one month. Especially beginners.

[@CarnivoreToday]

SBG for the win!

[@gerard6629]

I stopped salting my food, the first thing I noticed after the first day was, I didn’t wake early for no reason. That has continued to this day. Not saying salt is bad for us, I purchased a 25 lb bag of Redmond’s sea salt before I stopped. Only got through half the bag. I use it so sparingly now, it might take 10 years to finish the bag.

[@CarnivoreToday]

That's interesting to hear! I have the same half a 25lb bag of redmonds to get through! 😆

[@Truth15freedom]

Good to know, that's a big issue with me.

[@samsaraa2001]

I have sleep issues too. Imagine if all this time it was salt…😅

[@robc345]

Salt exists in beef already. 304 mg Sodium per pound of ground beef. Different cuts might vary. Maybe that is enough salt for some people.

[@lloydhlavac6807]

Wow, I've never heard of anyone having an issue like this with salt. I'm glad you finally figured it out. Thankfully I have no problem with it. I salt my meat and eggs. I live in central Florida and work outdoors all year, and right now it's been in the 90s most days, so I sweat profusely, and think I'd be in big trouble if I didn't salt my food. I use Redmond Real Salt.

[@Miraak1868]

Same with me. I salt everything with Redmond's. It contains some 80 minerals, none of which I can do without. I am 80.

[@debbiew2377]

Same her salt is my friend. I've had dizziness at work due to heat and dehydration. Commercial salt burns my stomach. I use kosher Celtic Sea Salt or organic Pink Himalayan.

[@LoriP123]

Yes! I too realized that salt was not for me. Even when eating keto/low carb/etc, salt not only causes me to retain water/bloat, too much thirst but more importantly, causes me to not be able to distinguish between actual hunger or just continue eating for taste.

[@m.b.593]

Thank you for this I also seen Bella’s no salt video and I cut back on salt when I started carnivore. This week I have been cooking for my kids and hubby so I started to add more salt than I normally would. I got so nauseous today. I was worried I ate some bad cheese or something. I’m am going back to no salt tomorrow to see how I feel.

My ankles swole a little and I watched a Ken Berry video on potassium and that night I took like 900mg potassium and next morning was gtg! Stay safe

Tip: Make your bacon in an air fryer with a liner and then you can save the bacon fat. Less hassle and clean up - you wait till the fat is almost congealed so it’s easier to pour into a container. Boom! I ain’t giving up my bacon for no reason!

[@CarnivoreToday]

What type of liner?

Baking paper or air fryer shaped baking paper liners

[@debbiew2377]

​​@@carole3445I would not recommend using parchment with lots of grease. It could become flammable.

[@suziesotico]

Thanks for the info! Very interesting. I also hated making bacon due to the mess. I now make it in the microwave and it's the easiest and least cleanup method I've come across. Takes me about 1/2 hour to make a whole package at a time. I use an oval platter, lay down 2 paper towels, place about 5 or 6 strips, and cover with 1 paper towel. --Nuke for about 4 minutes but keep an eye on it. I go for a little less crispy because it's going to crisp up when its reheated. Place the cooked bacon on a paper plate or towel til it cools off. Do this about 3 times til the package is done. Refrigerate all the cooled bacon. I keep a plastic bag handy to put all the greasy paper towels in. Cleanup is really easy. You may have to wipe out the microwave if you get grease spatters but it's usually minimal.

Some people are hypersensitive to salt which causes a lot of issues. This was the reason there was a salt scare a while back.

[@judybelight8041]

I dropped salt last summer and added some this week with a good result. Like other things I will rotate in and out... including eggs, beef, dairy.

[@CarnivoreToday]

Good plan!

[@DaviD-SHP]

The reason I stopped carnivore after two weeks was the constant gagging, dry vomiting, dry heaving after several bites of ground beef or steak. I felt my best during carnivore but I felt like I was severely undereating. I felt devastated because while I felt my best during carnivore, I would also get little spots of hives on my arms which may indicate a histamine issue. I really hope this trick could be the answer for me as well. Thank you for posting this video!

[@CarnivoreToday]

Best of luck! The hives could have been oxalate dumping. Check out Sally K. Nortons book, Toxic Superfoods.

I found I didn't need to cut out salt but instead add in potassium. Now I have 2 salt grinders on the counter: one with sea salt and the other with potassium chloride. Edit: I should clarify that it wasn't so much nausea as much as it was just a general "blah" sort of feeling in my gut. Loss of interest in eating while simultaneously feeling hungry. This coupled with horrific leg cramps at night lead me to a LOT of investigation. The cramps I tracked down to carbs. Without fail 1.5-2hrs after eating carbs my calves and hamstrings would cramp up so badly that I would be incapacitated. I had been low carb for a long time but the cramps are what lead me to full carnivore. After more digging and experimentation that's when I stumbled on the potassium and, for me at least, it worked. I don't need much but it's always on hand for me.

[@CarnivoreToday]

Glad you found what worked for you! Awesome!

[@m.b.593]

The potassium chloride stopped your nausea? 🙏🏻

What did u do for electrolytes? I can’t take magnesium or potassium because I’m so nauseous and I have terrible constipation? How did u switch to the carnivore diet without getting sicker. Did u just immediately go into the diet?

[@sandeVBL]

I’ve been having trouble with persistent nausea too, eating mostly carnivore but not totally. Today I lost it and had a couple of granola bars and chocolate - best I’ve felt in 63 days 🤪 I think most of my nausea comes from heavier meats like beef and some pork. I’m going to try HCI with pepsin (digestive enzyme) to see if it helps me digest the food better. Glad you found an answer to your issue!! And thanks for posting.

[@jenniferburke2972]

When I first went keto, I felt like I needed a TON of exogenous electrolytes. I did that for years until I started having weird post-prandial tachycardia issues mid-day. It took awhile to figure out, but it went away when I ditched the exogenous electrolyte drinks. Too much salt would make it come back too. I can still salt my food to taste and take magnesium, but I've learned there is such a thing as too much salt for my body.

[@JuneGrant-l9w]

Adam I’ve been carnivore for 3 months and experiencing nausea for 4 days. I too only eat beef cooked in butter, eggs and water and salt. oh and the odd green tea. I was wondering why it would start after 3 months. I will experiment with the salt as I was having bad cramps and upped my salt intake.

[@samsaraa2001]

Wow, so yeah I’ve been experiencing this too. Been carnivore for 3 months and the nausea is getting worse and worse and more frequent. I guess I’ll give this a try. How is it eating steaks without any salt, man, this sounds really hard. Did you add back the other foods you took out like butter and eggs? Any way, I’ll report back in a couple days with my findings… PS- I eat a LOT of salt…. 😩

[@AwakeninChrist]

Hey this is completely me im 14 months in! I just reduced salt and I feel so much better!! But I didnt cut them cold turkey yet. I’m just like you had lingering problems like fatigue after eating ankle edema and eat clogness.. im afraid to completely eliminate salt… i take maybe 1/20 of salt. So far I feel so good. May I please ask you what your macro is?? How much protein and fat? Ive tried everything from OMAD two meal theee meal. High fat moderate fat!! But salt was huge for me. Also im on 0 supplements. With my crohns disease I had a feeling that supplelents were just a nono. Please share your fat to protein macros and how much protein u consume

I made a mistake in the last month. I ordered suet but it turned out to be aged suet. As they took it out of the aged carcasses. I've been doing carnivore for a year and am great on it. So I couldn't work out the problem. My sleep was getting worse and worse but I huge amounts of energy. Now I've switched to fresh meat and fresh suet that I have to order from the butcheries factory. It's apparently going to take 2-4weeks to go back to normal.

I haven't tried it from the local butcher yet, but I think I shall. Their chicken certainly tastes way better than anything store bought.

[@CarnivoreToday]

Same with pork for me!

ANNOYED at the TIME it takes to cook bacon!! #OnlyATrueCarnivore could say this! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤺👏🏻

[@EarmuffHugger]

Imo if a person isn't sweating alot then sodium isn't easily depleted. There is sodium in beef because cattle have salt licks to lick when they require salt. Some meat tastes saltier naturally possibly due to the cows heavier consumption of salt just prior to slaughter. Well wishes.

Vey interesting !. Haven’t heard this Before , thanks

[@CarnivoreToday]

Thanks for listening

[@pabeader1941]

Look up Dr Berry making bacon with Neisha. They do it in a tall pot so there isn't any mess. I do it in a shorter pot but I use lid.

[@CarnivoreToday]

I have bacon PTSD lol

[@loryleiseda3150]

If you're not having salt what do you use for meat for taste or do you keep it plain?

[@CarnivoreToday]

Plain. Meat. Heat. Eat. lol

[@loryleiseda3150]

Ok cool LoL

Do you take iodine?

[@samsaraa2001]

Wow, this is actually a brilliant comment for a couple reasons! Many above are talking about talking potassium with the salt to balance the ratio. If you take Lugols, it’s potassium iodide so that would help with the ratio. Then that made me realize that when I was taking lugols i wasn’t having issues with the nausea. And less to no cramping… hmmm. It’s all so interesting untangling this dietary web…

[@thefarmgirl30]

Food with high histamine can cause nausea as well…bacon, eggs, ground beef (or leftover meat), and dairy are just a few things with high histamine. Fresh or frozen seafood or meat is best for ppl with histamine sensitivities. It’s good to be honest with this diet bc nothing is a “one size fits all” solution!

[@m.b.593]

Why is hamburger high histamine?

[@energeticsoulhealer888]

Omg, I salt EVERY bite of eggs, meat, fish, etc, haha. Life without salt wouldn't be worth living . No way, no how❤

Salt and nausea during carnivore diet

[@Sparkling-Cyanide]

Did you eat salt when you were vegan?

[@CarnivoreToday]

Occasionally, I would add it to a salad, cucumbers, and tomatoes. But never in the quantity I did on Carnivore.

[@Lamz..]

Very interesting, Thanks.👍 Was nausea the only symptom that cleared for you?

[@CarnivoreToday]

It cleared the nausea and the leg cramping. Both are completely gone. Sounds weird...but I'll take it.

[@m.b.593]

@@CarnivoreTodayDid you have diarrhea too? 🙏🏻

[@dirtisbetterthandiamonds]

After seeing some CarniTubers dumping so much salt on their food it looked disgusting, I started just using enough to flavor a bit. Thats it. Im not cut out for that much salt.

[@Stan6053]

But thyroid needs salt, it helps with iodine absorption.

[@pabeader1941]

It's actually the sodium that works with iodine. So if you can have another source of that, you should be good.

[@m.b.593]

@@pabeader1941Another source of what? 🙏🏻

[@pabeader1941]

​@@pabeader1941Another source of salt? What should that be?

[@ericgirard8910]

It looks to me like you had a sodium/potassium imbalance. Increase your potassium intake with avocado, coconut drink, or V8 with low sodium. That should fix it!
