I had an ileostomy bag for ~4 months after an internal injury. One of the things I discovered that isn't mentioned here (apart from the relative volume of waste from plant vs. meat meals), was that the contents of my ostomy bag stunk to high heavens after a plant based meal (~24-48 hrs transition). On the other hand, when I had a meat-based meal, the waste in my ostomy bag hardly smelled at all! I can tell you first-hand, that it was the plant waste that was rotting!

​@@MarkSmith-js2pu That's a question I've always wanted the environmentalists to answer, when they push their beef/methane ideology. Have they calculated what percentage of the cattle methane reduction will be replaced by burps and farts from 8 BILLION vegans? And, are they proposing that all of the deer, caribou, antelopes, wildebeest, bison and other ruminant animals on the planet be killed off? Next to them, the methane from cattle is just a drop in the bucket. Who'd be the murderers then?

8+ months here on carnivore. Lost a total of 31lbs within the first 5 months with moderate exercise. I went from 196lbs, to 165lbs and now I'm shredded like I was in my early 20's. I can't image living any other way now. The energy, mental clarity, sound sleeps, the perfect digestion, lack of joint pain, youthful skin has changed everything!! . But I gotta say, out of all the amazing benefits - digestion is the #1 reason I won't drop this diet/lifestyle anytime soon and why I truly believe this is the proper human diet. No more gas - like none!! It's the craziest thing. No more stomach bubbles or urges to go. No more large BM's or even multiple per day anymore. Always just a small predictable one with a fraction of any stank. I can't speak on this enough.

Well I will say the past few days my chia pudding I've been doing for brunch/lunch has had berries and both almonds and chia seeds in it. I used home made raw milk yogurt and chocolate protein powder. The rest of my meal has been scrambled eggs with meat and or shrimp. On that note the almonds and chia seeds I've popped in the blender to chop the nuts quickly instead of using a knife and they come out basically coarse ground. Well guess what has come out completely undigested on my wipes when I wipe my ass? Chia and course ground almonds. Mind you at supper I've been having noodleless spaghetti or shrimp and other meat marinara with home made food pantry fresh tomato based spaghetti sauce along with mushrooms and onion. All of that is completely digested just the nuts and seeds are not. All the berries, veggies, meat, dairy, shellfish, Etc are all 100% digested. Don't need a ostamy bag of your checking wipes or TP to make sure to get all the crap off your anus to see what comes out undigested. When my ibsd acts up the spray paint poos make it even easier to spot because what is digested is liquefied and the rest is solid and floating. Still don't need a ostamy for that.

@@dar4835 I did a 30 day stint of carnivore and saw the gas and bloat get significantly better but not the spray painting out my ass. Re adding fiber seems to have fixed it and now I'm slowly re adding things like leafy greens and cruciferous veggies because after carnivore I could eat them if fermented but now some even if not fermented seems to help as long as at least cooked. It seems if I reintroduce as a fermented food my body can acclimate to digest. Caffeine is still a no go though aside from white tea. Green or black as well as coffee or my beloved colas and Dr peppers and Mr pibbs are a big nope. That's basically all my "trigger" foods so while I appreciate your suggestion I kinda already tried that with some success but more along the lines of keto sees better results in my case. You are not the first to suggest carnivore to me I got a lot of that last year at ketocon which is why when it got beyond out of control last year I actually gave it a go.

[@missyleonis]

@@dar4835 yeah I get you. It's not so much watery as literally a brown fire hose situation. It's liquid and forceful. If I try to hold it it will force out anyway. I just had to re add small amounts of fruit and veggies and nix caffeine at the tail end to fix things. I really didn't have many trigger foods anyway. And unlike most with ibsd I have no issues with lactose or gluten. It's according to the gastro more of a functional ibsd instead of typical. And I will say fluxing between keto and carnivore might be most beneficial long term. But fermented foods including yogurt, things like cheese, lots of meat eggs and fat along with nuts seeds and small amounts of fruit and veggies seem to be best for me. I do quite a few various fermented foods including a "sibo yogurt" and both keifer and 4 types of yogurt I make with raw milk when I can. I make several fermented veggies and make water keifer, komboocha, fruit vinegar, and even some salt fermented fruit and natto. I think part of why my gut is healing so well is not only doing low carb but also the variety of cultures I add to my gut to hopefully help heal the damage my hashimotos caused to my digestive tract by screwing with my digestive acid and causing the loss of my gallbladder in my early 20s. And adding a lot of acidic fermented foods helps compensate for that too. I won't say too much fiber isn't bad but small amounts seem to be fixing my issues over time along with other factors. I even for a while did a fast mimic of herbal tea laced with coconut oil and home made broth in a small amount and then later for solid food did chia pudding to help with healing which did a lot of good. Right now I'm doing a fast mimic of white tea with some nut pods unsweet coconut and almond creamer because I have to stagger my morning meds two of which I must take on a empty stomach but not together and one must be only with water within a hour before or after and later I take a psych med that is advised taken with food. The fast mimic is for the last one since I tend to take my morning meds before I'm hungry including that one. Btw, my old fart mimic routine was using coconut oils mct effects on ketones and increasing autophagy to help recycle and replace damaged cells along with the collagens gut healing properties then the chia puddings properties to heal gut mucosal lining. So I do use certain foods as holistic treatment of my issues based on the healing properties they may have. If it fails I'm no worse off of it works it's a great tool to have in my tool belt. Carnivore may not have been as effective as I would have liked but I wouldn't call it a fail either so it's a good tool in my book to break out every now and then. But I can't handle longer than 30 days myself. It got too restrictive and I didn't enjoy that level of restrictions. If it was my only option to feel well I'd stick with it though. Luckily it seems it's not in my case

NOPE! My ostomy comes from anxiety on the job. My colon ripped open and I lost it Now I pull bag duty for life.

[@dennyrosson2522]

Is it possible that stress accentuated a problem you were already developing? Stress makes all physiological problems worse.

I have a stoma and i can confirm theres never any distinguishable meat solids in my bag. Im mostly carnivore/very low carb now but when i was eating the standard diet id see all the things Dr Berry mentioned. I gave up eating nuts because they just dont dissolve and theyd irritate my stoma even when chewed thoroughly, which begs the question, “do nuts even offer any nutrition”?

[@Quogmeyer]

I should add that since going carnivore i have very little wind at all, but before i had terrible wind that would smell bad, it could only be rotting vegetation.

[@CarbageMan]

This made me think of Beano, whose active ingredient is apparently alpha-galactosidase.

I have an ileostomy, and the only food I ever see in my bag are vegetables

I tried plant-based for a while and it like to destroyed me and my son's gut all you hear is plant-based and thats some of the worst I stayed constipated with vegetables since I've been eating more protein I go to the bathroom every day and it's not much and it doesn't smell and I don't have gas I'm not full-blown carnivore but I eat low carb

[@rpolee9035]

a bit of rotting is fine you need to stimulate you re immune system now and again. If not you could get intollerant to certain things and get a auto immuum response that realy spirials out of control this is my experience with a mostly meat based diet !! you need poison bacteria and virisus to keep you re self healthy and yes you need healing so find the right balance !

After 3 months of keto, I am finally free of sugar craving…. It is such a wonderful thing.

[@mikeward9870]

As I commented on Ken's video, I regularly rot food inside, and start by eating rotting foods (almost every day I eat). See Michael Pollan's book Cooked. They are some of my favorite foods: Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Yogurt, Cheeses, Chocolate, Wine, ACV, ... (and contain those all important postbiotics including short chain fatty acids: acetic, lactic, ...)

[@pippylongstockings8600]

Never heard of meat rotting in the gut.

[@pawelmatus]

No, it passes through it.

[@magiminiland1140]

Digested 80-90%, so not much is left.

[@alicem6420]

There's no meat left to make it to the colon.

[@Petunia-fl9lu]

100% peanuts and nuts do not digest that's why they don't make you fat - unless you soak and grind they do not digest. But fibre does have benefits in making butyrate and feeding gut biome.

How much worse would our obesity epidemic be if we started breaking down cellulose into its component glucose molecules and absorbing them. We were never designed to digest cellulose, and it would be a disaster if we suddenly gained that ability!

Luckily this myth is busted

[@user-tv4oc5ox9h]

I don't understand how anything would rott in your colon unless you have damage to your digestive track. Do these people think that the stomach doesn't break down meat yet pushes it into your intestines and the other waste (poop) goes around the meat and comes out? I don't get it. I eat about two pounds of meat per day. If it doesn't come out the other end, where would it go? We still poop, just not as much.

I can never trust a doctor like Ken Berry when they say they know the proper human diet, while promoting a carnivore diet or saying the vegan diet can be healthy. He is a grifter

[@videowatcheriAlberta]

To me, both Dr. Westman and Dr. Berry seem to be sincere and dedicated physicians who are only interested in the truth.

[@DiS5064]

Seriously!?!? 🤯

[@GarudaLegends]

@@videowatcheriAlberta DR Westman is the best. Ken Berry is nothing more than a Grifter. Dude actually said "my vegan brothers and sisters". Gross. Vegans want to make eating meat illegal and promote eating fake GMO and unhealthy processed food that replicates meat. Ken Berry only cares about being an Influencer. He is literally protecting vegans who promote a diet opposite from carnivore and ppl who want to make it illegal to eat an omnivore diet. Ppl like you are no help.

[@GarudaLegends]

@@DiS5064 yep. He is promoting veganism, when vegans want to make eating meat illegal and want every human to eat fake processed vegan meat. He is a Grifter.
