Horrible stomach pains and Diarrhea ( sorry TMI I know)

[Klamarca1]

Question! I hope I’m doing this right but desperate hope someone can help. Maybe could be unrelated but I have been doing keto for about 4 months now. About a week ago I cheated for the first time kinda bad… 2 bowls of cereal, ritz crackers and a snack cake thing. I have noticed since then I have had an upset stomach and ( sorry TMI) Diarrhea. Only after I eat. Today is a week from my cheat meal and eat 2 eggs and 3 susage links and I’m dying in the bathroom with horrible stomach pains. Any ideas? Is this common? Any suggestion? Or is this diet just not for me anymore?

It seems going off plan can cause many folks stomach upset, especially those who are eating very few or zero carbs. If it were me, I’d start a probiotic and stick to things you can for sure tolerate.

Are you someone who fasts?

Sorry to hear it.

Last time that happened to me it was food poisoning (well before keto days). We didn’t realise the fridge thermo was set too high and the food was spoiling but not in obvious ways.

I got over it after about 2 weeks where the toilet was my best friend (sorry TMI).

Your case may be very different but make sure nothing was well past expiry date and your fridge isn’t too warm…

Is it common to happen for a week long? I did fast but haven’t in about 3 weeks or so. Thank you for your help!

I don’t know how long people struggle, but I feel like it can last more than a few days, based on what I’ve read.

Is my bubble guts keto flu?

Lol plz help! I had a cheat day this last Friday, didn’t feel like anything crazy—burger & fries. But ever since Sunday i have had the worst diarrhea and bubbly stomach as i call it. Am i experiencing keto flu? I’ve been back to keto since Saturday, no carbs since the cheat but it’s crazy to me if my body is still trying to process those carbs from the weekend. I also have had kind of a runny nose. It this an attribute to keto flu or do i just have a normal cold? Help fellow ketoans!!!

Ate off diet and now have flu like symptoms

Hello. I have been very strict on the keto diet for three months now and this past weekend was the first time I said screw it. I ate chips and salsa, a burger with the bun, and some peach cobbler. Gluten tends to bother me and sugar makes me wacko but I did it anyway. I felt fine all weekend until today. I had horrific diarrhea this morning like I’ve never had before. Flu like symptoms – achy, nauseous, headache – begin five hours or so after I woke up this morning. It has now been 12 hours and…

Vomiting after cheat meal

So, I have been trying to find an explanation on the web these last few months in regards to why I have been vomiting (rapidly until all food has been cleared from my stomach, episodes last about 15-30 minutes and I feel almost normal afterwards) after all cheat meals, some include alcohol, but not all. Long story short, I have been on the keto diet consistently since March of this year and tend to have 1-2 cheat meals per month. The vomiting did not start until I would say the last 3-4 months …
