William is Vegan to Carnivore…oh yes one of those converts and he is thriving on carnivore 
as he recommended from Dr Kevin Stock on MeatHealth about GI issues and the ‘dreaded D’…which will go away with time but some need support thru this time.
- Solving GI Problems
Gastrointestinal (GI) issues are extremely common, especially if you are coming from a low fat diet.
Even though you are ready to dive all in, your gallbladder and pancreas might not be ready to handle the increased fat intake. When first starting you may have inadequate bile and lipase to digest the increased fat intake. This leads to diarrhea and all kinds of GI distress.
One solution: You can reduce how much fat you’re eating by choosing leaner cuts of meat. I DO NOT recommend this approach. This will simply prolong the adaptation period. Translation = you will suffer far longer than you need to.
Much Better Solution: Supplementing for 2-4 weeks
Supplement Solution:
Start with a simple lipase supplement taken a few minutes BEFORE meals.
It freed me from the toilet after spending two weeks married to it.
- Start with 1 tablet and if you still have some discomfort go to 2.
- 6,000 lipase activity unites LU
For most people, lipase alone does the trick. However, some people need to exogenous bile.
Ox bile, taken with meals, is your next step.
Your final step, if still having GI issues, especially, if they are GERD/acid reflux related is to help the stomach. Many people produce inadequate stomach acid to facilitate digestion and proper metabolic signaling. Yes. It’s low stomach acid that results in GERD, Heartburn, Acid Reflux.
A Betaine HCl supplement is the answer. Don’t take this with anti-inflammatories which could result in ulcers. It should automatically include pepsin in it, but worth checking just to make sure. Common dosage range between 3-5g/meal.
Supplements are a BRIDGING STRATEGY – NOT A LONG TERM NEED. The goal is to be off all of these after the first month. They let your body catch up.
Rendered Fat
For some people, the type of fat is what causes the GI distress.
If the previously mentioned supplements don’t help, then you may need to remove rendered fats.
Rendered fat is fat that is cooked out of meats and becomes liquid.
For example, if you don’t handle rendered fats well, drinking the liquid fat in the skillet after cooking is a recipe for disaster (pants).
You will likely notice that your bowel movement schedule changes. It’s very common to go less frequently. Much less frequently. Don’t worry you’re not constipated, and it’s normal. Volume also tends to decrease. Your body absorbs and uses meat very efficiently. Not a lot goes to waste.
---------------So this is just some adaption issues and tips on how to survive your adaption. No 2 people will be alike in this. We all have our own journey on where we come from in our eating, to how much toxins will be dumping in our body at that time, and how long our adaption will take. But all this is normal…your normal Anyone experiencing troubles just come and chat about them if wanted. Tips and tricks for survival for adaption are out there.
BEST OF LUCK TO ALL WALKING INTO THE CARNIVORE WAY OF LIFE.
