Daughter is doing great on keto. Has lost 2 pants sizes in 45 days. Only problem everytime she eats a fatty meal or even fat coffee she is in the bathroom immediately. Seems as though she’s not digesting fat. Any suggestions?
Not metabolizing fat. What to do?

This confuses me. Daughter is ‘doing great’, ‘lost 2 pant sizes in 45 days’. Only problem is ‘every time’ she eats fat she gets diarrhea. How can she be doing great on keto and getting diarrhea from eating fat? That does not make sense. Keto MEANS eating fat for energy instead of carbs. What you describe sounds more like dysentery.
I think more details would be helpful.

Agreed, we need more details. This is not normal on low-carb.

Diarrhea is not a common side effect of a well-formulated ketogenic diet. If it occurs, it likely due to well-intentioned but incorrect food choices. But while sorting this out, it is important that you stay hydrated and replenish your electrolytes!

If I remember correctly, it took about 8 weeks for my BMs to ‘normalise’ and I had plenty of quick ‘n scary dashes to the bathroom at the beginning of eating this way!
Everything has settled down now and I have a new version of normal. What that looks like for me is a BM every other day, sometimes daily. Prior to keto I would have a BM twice a day, sometimes one after every meal. I read a few things about the specific type of gut bacteria we have needing to change… not sure how right that is but it makes sense to me.
