Constipation and zero carb


(Elizabeth ) #64

The recommendation from the carnivore veterans is usually going to be go meat and water only for 30 days.

To the original post which is very old but will throw some Carnivore information at it.

If you are on a Carnivore menu only…and you are not bloated, in pain, having abdominal pain and other true medical issues, you are probably not constipated at all as you are thinking. There is no constipation happening.

Eating carnivore produces way less waste. You will not have to release as much stool. Simple as that.

Some go 1 time a day like clockwork, some a few days…each person will vary on amt. of meat they eat, the amt. of fat etc. So if you are not broke in any way about pain, bloating, feeling of sickness etc…then you are not broke and you have nothing to fix :slight_smile:

On Carnivore your body will find a new normal. Forget the old ways in the bathroom, they will mostly change on Carn.

Eat a bit more fat if you feel plugged in up any way. Eating too lean and cooking meats way overdone can also kinda slow down the bathroom movement.

Be sure to stay very hydrated and drink your water because this also has a hand in it all…your body requires more water than one thinks to function effortlessly and your bowels are included in all the process.

Never a need to take supplements. No reason to give your body any supplements or probiotics etc. on Carnivore unless you get that advice from a Doctor due to a true medical constipation type problem or such.

No veg. is ever required ‘to help things’ along. Drop any and all veg at this point if you are ramping into carnivore. If adopting a 100% carnivore lifestyle then most know veg. is not what a 100% carnivore eats ever. (if you are stepping a toe in and out of carnivore then I get it why you want to keep some veg in there tho, personal choices)

Time is required on carnivore to truly change your bathroom habits. It is absolutely normal. Never normal if pain, severe bloating and more.

Hope some of that helps about changes in the bathroom routine when one adopts a Carnivore eating lifestyle. When changes happen a lot from the norm we used to have, we take notice. Most are abnormal coming into carnivore with bathroom routines, coming into carnivore rights up people’s bathroom routines to the better!
