Is it possible that I contacted appendicitis being on keto?

You can get appendicitis on any diet. So it’s possible that you got it while on keto, but not likely it was because of keto

It was probably coming on for some time, and coincidentally happened to flare up after you went keto. I don’t believe that appendicitis is ever diet-related; it’s usually an infection, as I understand it.

I got an appendicitis’s on Keto. I delevoped gallstones and my wife had her gallbladder removed while on Keto.

This comment Paul made regarding appendicitis would also apply to gallstones. They take many years to develop (usually years of low fat eating/dieting) but can become apparent when people start eating normal amounts of fat.

Dr. Annette Bosworth has this fascinating video on kidney and gallstones, and what happens to them when we go keto:
She also mentions the connection between keto and gout.

I have been strict keto for 10 months. First time I “cheated” on the last day of a cruise and had a piece of cake got appendicitis the next day. Who knows if there is any relationship between diet and appendicitis. I suspect its just a random infection unrelated to diet in any way.
