WHY You Have Loose Stools on Carnivore and How To Finally Stop the Diarrhea with Dr. Robert Cywes

[@ElleCoyote]

For some of us, diarrhea on a carnivore diet is highly disruptive, because one has to RUN to the bathroom, wherever you are, suddenly and unpredictably. How anyone can get past that to get the benefits is hard to imagine.

[@vcat8136]

Hot fat…like in cooked bacon or 80/20 ground beef or even higher fat cuts of beef…will cause me severe gastric issues and even wake me up! But..if I eat cold butter I’m fine, colder meat…letting it cool and not eating ALL the fat…helps. I’m hoping after 3-6 months…when fat adaption happens…I won’t have to be as careful. But it takes several months. So…I’m eating cooled meat for now!

[@bobomonkey702]

Ill try it. Can you explain how you cook steak? And is it possible that you have any links to explain how cold meats help.

[@vcat8136]

@@bobomonkey702 It’s just that if you eat higher fat meats…after you cook it…the fats are hot and more liquid-y making them go thru your digestive system too fast. UNTIL you become fat adapted and the body gets used to all the fat, you can just eat meat that’s a little more cooled off…doesn’t have to be cold. I wrote that comment 2 months ago…& I’m fat adapted now…so my digestive issues have calmed down. 👍🏻😅

[@bobomonkey702]

@@vcat8136 Oh ok. So eating meat more raw might be better for me in the beginning do you think?

[@vcat8136]

I have chronic diarrhea with carnivore of fattier meat. I have been tested for bile acid malabsorption and it was negative. When I did increase the protein and less fat, it has calmed down.

[@bibleverses5992]

I think I'm gonna increase the protein and lessen the fat to a minimal and see how it goes too.thanks

[@yishaithegift9953]

@@WorldRenownedPsychicBearMedium It's not adding more protein. It's simply the lack of fiber. We've eliminated all fiber from the diet so there's nothing to soak up the additional liquid. Adding just a little vegetables like broccoli, will make a world of difference. It did for me. Good luck.

[@yishaithegift9953]

@@bibleverses5992 if you lessen the fat then you'll have sugar cravings. Remember the fat is now your body's primary fuel source. If you deprive yourself of fats then your body will crave the first fuel source. Sugar. The answer is fiber. Eating just a small portion of broccoli had helped me immediately.

Stop carnivore. Instant cure to the diarrhea.

[@calisg1010]

Fat and water “fluids” don’t mix. Try not drinking fluids while your eating. Fatty cuts of steak are great but adding water to cooked fat can be explosive during the transition period.

[@Swolimandius]

I'll never forget the one time I ate a ton of pork belly with a massive glass of ice water. what an awful night lol

Fat is water

[@JipseeGirl]

@@Swearengen1980I was told not to drink for 30 minutes before a meal and 30 minutes after. And to only sip water afterwards for a while. So maybe an hour or so after your meal you can drink normally.

[@retiredboxingref7620]

Hmmmm the comments about fat and liquid not mixing and causing explosives diarrhea is my daily life. Three cups of coffee at 2pm and then my daily (Bacon and T-bone). Then I sit and wait for about a half hour till the mixture scoots thru my derriere. I never leave my seat till this occurs!!! 😂

[@pera06]

Do you think it could be the caffeine. It stimulates bowel movement. Maybe high fat and caffeine is a bad combination.

[@gsts379]

Only one cup of coffee at a time, not three. If you want more, spread it out over the day. Next, don't drink coffee on an empty stomach. Have it after your meal instead of before.

[@rhondab9792]

Coffee is a laxative. If your are using artificial sweetener may be giving you a double whammy.

Seriously? You haven't figured out the solution yet? This problem is soooo common among all people. We are not carnivores; we are omnivores. This problem happened to me everytime I tried carnivore, and it never went away. You know how I solved this problem? I went back to omnivore, with plenty of plant products along with my low-fat meat. Problem gone. Instant solution. Don't fall for this carnivore nonsense.

[@truthseeker3967]

more salt? Every glass of water I drink has 1/8 tsp salt (iodized salt for iodine) I do that bc of electrolytes and a migraine condition where potassium and sodium must be balanced for me or I get a migraine. Water can flush away the sodium, need to add some back in. MAYBE, that is why?

One week into carnivore, sometimes I get muddy stools, I didn't say diarrhea because I don't have the urge to go to the bathroom multiple times a day. Also, the muddy stools are not consistent, some days are fine, formed stools. Any ideas? I do eat pork and chicken, also some heavy cream to increase the fat intake. Might drop the cream for now.

[@JoJo-oc8oq]

same for me!

[@andsoitgoes631]

Muddy stools, good description. I have the same thing. I also have Crohn's. The benefits of carnivore far outweigh muddy stool.... From what I've read, given, time, this resolves itself.... It seems to be doing so for me...Too much fat seems to be the problem... low fat, better poops...

[@beebop9808]

Imagine carnivore would put the breaks on Crohnes in a hurry. I had it many years ago and got rid of it about 6 months after being diagnosed just by dumping sugar and carb intake. Long before I knew anything about keto or carnivore. When I started on keto, now carnivore, I expected to have issues because my gall bladder was removed years ago. But other than a couple of days of loose stool at the beginning, that was about it. Actually it's sometimes a little of the opposite. Luckily I have MCT on hand and use it very sparingly but seems to keep me on track. Only once I took too much. Holy cow talk about the Mexican dance! lol Don't do that!!

[@calecampbell5860]

I was told that I need to eat beans so that my bile will fully replenish as the reason I have had issues is due to the bile holding onto the toxins… now the only way to fix this is to eat fiber beans specifically or psyllium husk if I refuse to eat beans…I was a vegetarian most my life and ate sad diet now carnivore about 4 years but at a stall but I know why I’m eating carbs again I need to purge my system again so o can feel better.. But has anyone else heard of this “remedy” for our bile?

[@hugocnx]

I upped my fiber intake with oat FIBER bread. Solved my problem. I am not on a carnivore diet, but fat seems to be my enemy as I have BAM. Now with the fiber I can also stop my colestyramine medication. Robert Cywes talks a lot hi so stuff, but actually has no solution.

[@xo7454]

never had loose stools at all...... i sometimes wonder if i am doing it wrong.... but im doing it right.

[@Straightdeal]

Some of my stools float, some sink. The floaters normally also sink after a while. I take a bile and liver supplement, but I get the idea my bile is either too thick or insufficient. There is a problem in South Africa to get good essential bile salts. Crazy!

What’s your advice for someone that has a total colectomy? No colon. Just using small intestine. Basically lettuce goes right through me which is a reason I am carnivore.

[@TV-el6uj]

it means you have bile acid malabsorption

[@metalgamedog]

my stool is normal it does not smell normal but it is almost black in color, may it be because I only eat red meat and many organs? Could it be the excess iron found in red meat and especially organs?

[@Jack-hy1zq]

Black stool could be because there is internal bleeding in your intestine or further up the digestive system. It can also be caused by some supplements, vitamin D in particular. If you are on vit D, stop taking them for a couple of days, then you'll know if that's the culprit.

[@critter4004]

Black stool isn't normal even on Carnivore. You need a fecal occult test to determine if you are bleeding.

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.

[@TV-el6uj]

I am starting to wonder if carnivore is a trigger for Crohns disease. I have the same experience with loss stool on it and also have other autoimmune diseases, but I have no digestion problems as long as I add non meat back in. But, then I react to those foods for other reasons. I am especially sensitive to MCT oil. I am going to try cold fats maybe.

[@scottsnitzer9733]

@TV-el6uj It supposedly heals all autoimmune conditions and I do believe the people who have gotten great benefits from it, but the monomeals (eating only one type of animal food most or all of the time) and the histamine response they can cause, the pushing of bacon, eggs and other histamine foods, the ignoring of people's inability to digest fat and more are SOME of the reasons carnivore is a bad idea. And the thing is we're barely anything like our paleolithic and Neolithic ancestors as we've all been genetically modified. Stephanie Keto Person has THE best nutritional advice I've come across. If you try a digestive enzyme, please try one at a time meaning try ox-bile and see if it helps you digest fats-Pancreatin has been helping me a lot. Have you had a fecal elastase test? Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency can occur with other GI problems. You want to find out of your pancreas and gallbladder are working well and you want to work on sealing your gut meaning zero gluten, zero dairy, zero lectins, zero refined sugar, zero and no caffeine (contributes to leaky gut). Certain meds cause leaky gut too.
