Stomach Bug... Hard coming back


(Tricia) #1

I had a bacterial stomach infection and couldn’t eat for a few days. Then I could eat, but the only things I could stomach were quest bars and broth. Now I can stomach most things, but not most vegetables yet :(. For the last couple days of trying to get back to full keto diet I have had to most horribly painful stomach which I think is just gas. Has anyone else has anything similar? What should I be eating to stay in ketosis (I’m here for epilepsy) but be gentle enough on my stomach that it doesn’t want to kill me?

There’s no rule that says you have to eat veg. Listen to your body and give it the food it wants and will accept, then when you’re properly recovered, try introducing other things.

Right… that’s not my issue right now. My real issue is that my stomach is having trouble dealing with 80g of fat (I think the fat is the cause), never mind the 120+ I need. Even water seems to upset my stomach’s digestion with fat.

The fat amount is not a number you have to meet, it’s fat to satiety. If you can’t stomach it, don’t force it.
