How to Stop Loose Stools on a Meat-Based Carnivore Diet (7 Tips)

[@cindilubinski37]

Judy, I have solved this problem by limiting the amount of water that I drink with meals. I have always been a water drinker with meals, but I now only allow myself 1/4c water with meals. After about an hour, I resume drinking water and have had no more problems with diarrhea.

[@quincymoran9130]

Thanks for this video Judy. With having no gall bladder and several feet of my small intestine removed I appreciate this direction. Transitioning from OMAD to 2 meals a day has helped a little. Thanks for all you do!

[@luciavasile2895]

I do 100% carnivore. But since i switch from keto to carnivore, not only that i have loose stools, but also it smells realy bad too😢. Before when i use to do keto, my stools never smell that bad. Sorry for been way to faword. Thanks dr. Judy❤

[@annemariefisher1559]

Me too

And me😮

[@lovelandgirl1494]

Same.

[@falashlaba20]

It's been 10 days since I started. So far all my stools have been alarming and destabilizing. This diet has gotten me rid of my bloat i'll admit that. It feels great in that sense, but I seem low on energy cause I'm scared of eating fat, cause when I do i had watery stools. Will probably go back to having fiber if this persists for another 10 days. Thanks for the video.

[@brendaverderaime7679]

Do small amounts of fat through out the day. Start slow too.

[@lovelandgirl1494]

How are you doing now? Did you stick with it?

[@falashlaba20]

@@lovelandgirl1494 Yep! I'm not the strictest, but pretty strict. These days I have steak with cheese for my meals (once or twice a day) And I eat plain yoghurt with a bit of dark chocolate as a post-dinner snack. I add natural peanut butter to that sometimes. I seem to be fine with fat now, but I still don't eat EXTRA fat and buttery like the carnivore people preach. My stools are generally '''perfect''. Like actually. It's pretty amazing and for me it makes it all worth it. I am better with red meat than any other meat; pork, chicken, and eggs all make me bloated and mess with my stools. Sometimes I allow myself to buy a bag of chips (only salt, oil, potatoes) as a treat. I add honey to my yoghurt sometimes. I eat a bit of fruit sometimes. I miss texture, but not flavour. Don't think I'll ever go back to eating SAD. My tummy was all over the place and I feel much better now. Although it's not always perfect, it is light years ahead of what it was. The diet resulted in me being happier as it makes ''living'' easier. I don't worry about gastrointestinal issues half as much as I used to. Good luck

Thank you for the info! We just started the Carnivore diet 6 days ago and definitely dealing with loose stool. We will try these remedies!

[@jackmaddesty]

Many will experience this in the beginning regardless, so I wouldn’t even think about it so early… give it at least a month👍🙂

[@StephenCraig22]

You are a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much

[@kingdomambassador1904]

Yes i would loving reprimand a friend who has done me wrong, Scripture insructs this. I prefer a friend to be real with me like that. But condemning is not a believers duty.

[@christiangumbs5973]

This was an awesome and very informative video! Thank you

[@seona6549]

This is the best advice and exactly 💯 what I needed to hear ... especially on stress and talking negatively about myself!

[@lolainma3218]

Add 2T of sauerkraut to your meat. Only thing that helped me. It took 7 nights of 2T per/day.

[@GreatLakesGirl311]

Thank you for this suggestion! I stopped my homemade kefir when I went full bbbe about six weeks ago because I need to do a strict elimination for a while. My gut has not been very happy losing its natural pre/probiotics. Best wishes to you on your health journey!

[@kingdomambassador1904]

Thanks very good stuff!!

[@Damudean]

Thank you about the water, I’ll try that after stopping coffee

[@rafaburdzy449]

I love you are discussing this problem.

[@kathleenodonnell8355]

Another great video w loads of info. Thank you, Judy!

[@roneemillercounseling7231]

I am on Carnivore for 3 weeks and came to Carnivore due to relentless IBSD. continue to have wat D a few times a day and take imodium a few times a day.... is the healing journey different with those with ibsd? no other health issues.. I have lost 16 lbs from ibsd and want to gain weight. thank you Judy!

Love you, Judy! Your videos are so helpful!!

Maybe I’m just lazy, but hitting the diarrhea with lotrimin did it for me, and I had a couple of bad attacks.

[@purdygirl1748]

What about people who have had the gastric bypass? The diarrhea is pretty bad

[@user-km9ci8yn9s]

vit C helped me soooo much with my histamine issues. They immediately disappeared. Raw milk also stopped it in its tracks. Just a small sip. Job done

[@ezra4518]

Did vitamin C get rid of your histamine please?

It's ok to wear depends at the gym right?

I think you can wear only Depends at Planet Fitness.

I have been thinking of getting continence pants, I have had a number of uncontrollable diarrhoea incidents when walking, terribly embarrassing.

Ty for everything you share Judy. So helpful.

[@msfitnessnut]

Hi Judy ~ Thank you for all these great videos ! I have a question about salt. I used to be able to ingest a lot of salt for the first 4 years of keto/carnivore. I’m in my 5th year and I find just salting my food is enough. If I supplement with extra I get nauseated but I find I get light headed and dizzy at times. Any suggestions?

[@TheKingdomWeigh]

Perhaps if you leave off all salt (or at least reduce it) for a while and see if that fixes the problem.

[@WorldRenownedPsychicBearMedium]

Do you get muscle spasms?

[@JAnn319]

Don't take the extra salt

[@mwebb3014]

Great info!! Thank you!

[@holistic.health]

Comments Add a comment... Holistic Health 0 seconds ago I was wondering if you feel the same is true of a person who not only suffers from loose stool but also nausea and cramping .. I've started now then once on carnivore and the first couple times had no symptoms, but I've tried a couple times in the past couple weeks and the minute i start within the first or second day I'm dying... what do you think is happening here

[@swiadomosczwiazkowpl]

Do you have those symptoms now? What is te fix?

[@judysheen1965]

I took a half glass of Metamucil last night and my diarrhea was much better hopefully I can get off it soon

[@user-rv7qx9rh5v]

Hi with megaguard would that help someone come off of betaine hcl?i have been taking betaine hcl for awhile now and I don’t want to take it forever!i can’t do apple cider vinegar because of histamine problem!

[@parler8698]

It's. Not. Stress.

[@Kim-hb8ri]

I actually had constipation on a high fat lower protein carnivore. Now I upped my protein by a few ounces and the constipation is gone but my stools are looser. Not crazy just once a day or every other day. Is my gut just transitioning?

[@WorldRenownedPsychicBearMedium]

Having the same in second month now started when I introduced bacon i noticed

[@mabajaki5555]

Please tell me how long we must use digestive enzymes for braking fat/protein? How can we know when is time to cut them off and eat without them?

[@JAnn319]

Listen to your body. Until you transition... everyone is different

[@mabajaki5555]

@@JAnn319 ok, thanks.

[@dadaustin4570]

Lots of jargon and acronyms that I’m unfamiliar with and thus, hard to follow your explanation or suggestions. Histamines, oxylates, enzymes, soles water, hair test, cortisol, adrenals etc

[@JAnn319]

Check the dictionary

[@heavychevy4616]

thank u

[@maiyiayang6760]

I am confused about using electrolyte. I read that electrolyte should help with diarrhea, but you said it doesn't.

[@bobomonkey702]

Yea does anyone want to explain this? I’m confused as well.

I think I'm reacting to ground beef but not 100% sure...

[@bellashehasastalker3931]

Me too as soon as I started ground beef I started diarrhea

[@bobomonkey702]

Ground be is higher in histamin

[@sandyshores5550]

@@bellashehasastalker3931 I am so confused. I've been eating 95% carnivore since January. First couple of weeks my stool was fine then I had some loose stool and diarrhea. Then I was good until a month ago. I've had loose stool and diarrhea going on 4 weeks now. Five days ago, I switched to non-caffeinated coffee (my one cup a day and stopped using monkfruit sweetener and am still having the same problem. I wonder if it is ground beef.

[@arturmassa3600]

​@@bobomonkey702why if it is only meat?

One tsp of peanut butter works for me, all day,.32 calories 0 net carbs. Don't know why it works. One channel said a "hand full of nuts" works every time. I didn't have nut so I use a small portion of peanut butter. I know, peanuts are not nuts. Oh well......

[@JS-gz8qt]

Judy, I have been on an animal based whole foods way of eating for the last 14 months. Prior to that I was doing a strict paleo AIP diet for almost 5 years. Within 12 months I lost 38% of my body weight. (I was over weight) Eventually I started having problems with excess oxalates due to eating lots of vegetables. I have not eaten much fat my whole life. I've been experancing gallbladder pain and constipation. I've been taking Beta Plus for a few weeks which has helped. You mention in this video taking Lipase and Protase, what supplements on your website can you recommend? Thanks in advance. J

[@Stuart.Branson.]

So stop eating veg, most of which is laboratory made.

[@Damudean]

I thought most our food is broken down before the colon so if it takes two days since I last had a bowel movement the diarrhea surely I have broken down all the nutrients I needed?

[@JAnn319]

Nope

[@alyssakania9699]

I actually am dealing with constipation with this way of eating and when I’m not constipated my stool is like mush and it’s still hard to get out bc of how soft it is. Should I lower my fat ?

[@JAnn319]

Digestive enzymes, like Judy suggested

[@scottsnitzer9733]

I've been on the carnivore diet for four months and after stopping bacon, eggs, and butter and only eating red meat, I still have loose and fatty stools. I was diagnosed with Crohns and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). Do you suggest that I take a pancreatin supplement? I stopped taking Creon before going full carnivore.
