I am a physician and am teaching other physicians about your lectures. I tell many patients often about what I learn from you. Thank you!!!!

Watching this two years later and thank God I watched it all the way through. I felt my diarrhea had something to do with my body not producing enough bile because the diarrhea only decreased some when I took digestive enzymes (double and triple the dose). But by evening, the diarrhea would be back. His video talks about the opposite: People producing too much bile and having bile malabsorption resulting in diarrhea. He said these people didn't respond to taking digestive enzymes but I did...for a little while. So I started to click off, but so glad I didn't. Near the end if the video, he talks about a few vitamin deficiencies that inhibit the body's ability synthesize bile. He mentioned A, C, and D. I took a multivitamin containing these vitamins yesterday. Yesterday afternoon and today, I have not had diarrhea. My appetite has returned. I don't feel sick to my stomach anymore and I'm not waking up in the night with painful griping, chills and sweats...and diarrhea. Very grateful for this info.

I’ve been doing carnivore for years and the diarrhea has never stopped. I recently started psyllium husk 3tsp a day and it stopped the diarrhea - although the stool still feels a bit acidic. So happy. I know how to cure it- it just add plants but I don’t want to because the carnivore diet cures my binge eating disorder. Thanks for this video.

I’m an IBD postdoctoral researcher; he’s hitting the nail on every point!! Excellent insights!

Watching this from my toilet!!!

EO, you get the award for the most underrated channel on youtube. I predict greatness in your future.

You have no idea how many videos I watch trying to find a solution to the this problem that I was suffering. You nailed it. Thank you

The quality of the information you've provided is off the charts! Thank you so, so much.

Fantastic presentation! I don't currently have this particular problem, but I loved your deep-dive into the biochemistry -- thanks for not dumbing things down! I'll keep this stuff in mind in case I run across anyone with chronic diarrhea who may be helped by this information.

Thank you for your help. My second round of chronic diarrhea in four years. The first episode was before I was on Keto/Carnivore diet. The Vitamin C used for a week resolved my issues. The second three month episode occurred recently while on the Carnivore diet. I luckily found your site again, used Vitamin C again for a week and it is resolving. The specialist here wouldn't even run a bile acid test, he refused. But he did want to prescribe a bile acid sequestrant. Seems the only thing our US health system can do is pull out a prescription pad or a scalpel. Thank you again.

What a wonderful explanation of the topic that people tend to rather not talk about much! Thank you so much I will try hard to spread this message to people who suffers from diarrhea when they become carnivore!

Wow , the Berberine works! I have been intermittent fasting, one meal a day, for over a year and suddenly started having diarrhea soon after my meal. This went on for a week and then I found your video. The communication between the intestines and the liver seemed like a possibility, so I took Berberine and also L-Glutamine and the next day it stopped! I am continuing to take them and have not had it come back after a couple of weeks. I am very grateful that you and other doctors share information like this. Thank you so much!

Probably the most informative and best health related video I have ever seen on YT. Fantastic presentation!

This is the best video I have seen about the reason for chronic diarrhea. The Carnivore diet has been by far the most healing diet for me. When the diarrhea came in; however, this resulted in no absorption of nutrients. So if this can heal the gut problems, then all shall be healed. Thank you for this most valuable information.

Thank you 🙏 I started carnivore 6 weeks ago and the diarrhea just won't go away. If anything it got worse. After 5 weeks I was ready to give up when I came across your video. I started taking vitamin C and in 3 days the diarrhea was gone. My bowels feel better than ever! Now I can keep going with carnivore. You are a life saver!

Fascinating. I started carnivore while I was taking a liver cleanse protocol including ascorbic acid and milk thistle. I didn't get the so-called adaption phase diarrhea until a couple weeks after I finished the protocol. I never made the connection and just suffered needlessly, it appears.

you’re LITERALLY a life saver.

I have really bad BAM I have yellow watery diarrhea if I'm not snacking on something with carbs such as pretzels or crackers all day. I am currently doing carnivore and it's so bad I am in so much pain and seem to run to the bathroom 5 or sometimes 10 times a day. I still have a gallbladder. I have type 2 diabetes so I need to do carnivore because the only negative is this diarrhea. I bought vitamin A and milk thistle and will keep people updated on my condition for those who are curious whether or not it works or helps. Edit: update after less than 1 hour of taking 10,000 iu of vitamin A and liquid milk thistle drops my stomach cramps and diarrhea subsided. I am dead serious. I will keep updating.

You saved me!! After a year fully carnivore adapted with bi issues, i started to have chronic diarrhea. Around 5 months ago I decided to increase the protein intake and stop adding additional fat like butter to my meals; within some time I became constipated and was having BM every 10 days, my hormones were messed up, now I know why: liver was not flushing waste. I decided to supplement magnesium and digestive enzymes with ox bile and HCl acid; then I went from constipated to chronic diarrhea that couldn't stop. I was having abdominal rumbling all night and then diarrhea every morning at wake up. I was also having a weird bad taste at wake up that now I know I could be bile reflux. After watching your video I purchased a supplement that contains some of the herbs you mentioned. It's called liver cleanse from Thorne Labs and started to see results immediately after taking the supplement. I have been talking 1 cap x 3 times a day. I have been able to sleep all night without the abdominal rumbling. I'm now waiting for my BM to go normal big thank you for posting this info

one of the few really informative videos on this very important topic!

Pure information from this gentleman, thank you Elliot for posting.

This was so helpful. Thank you. Update: I tried the recommended supplements without any improvement. What ended up curing me pretty much immediately was raw milk kefir I found at a local farm.

Hi, wanted to share my experience. Was six weeks in Carnivore mode and was still liquid (run for loo, stormy results :-)), I tried the Milk Thistle (extract form in capsules @ 225mg per capsule). Took 2 before OMAD meal. No problems anymore! Thanks for this video.

This explains my issues on carnivore perfectly. A year and a half carnivore and I could never fix my digestive issues, felt like it was 98% water most of the time. I basically had no control over timing or being able to hold it. Eating fruits and veggies and moderate healthy carbs with plenty of fiber seems to fix this in about one day. Removing these, I return to the same issues. I don't feel as good otherwise eating the fruit, veggies, and carbs - but it makes my digestion completely normal. I am very interested to try some of the herbs to see if that can help at all. I am generally much happier eating a carnivore diet - digestion being the only thing I did not like.

Fantastic info! Have not heard anyone else talk about this. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for your video! I’ve been on carnivore for just over 4 months and after entering ketosis, I have been experiencing what seems to be bile acid malabsorption. I tried ox bile, different digestive enzymes, and also all of the supplements you suggested with no improvement to normalize my stool. From your video you mentioned that when these patients reintroduce plant fiber into their diet, their stool normalizes.. So I specifically tried psyllium, and as suggested this plant fiber seems to normalize my stool.

I can't thank you enough for this video, you're my hero

Very interesting. This is the opposite of what I thought - I thought it was lack of bile acids meaning undigested fats were getting into the colon. I do definitely have something wrong with my ability to digest fats - a high fat meal gives me liquid diarrhoea, and this is generally prevented if I eat vegetables at the same time.

I have been scouring KZfaq for answers on stopping the diarrhea that started as soon as I went on the carnivore diet over 3 weeks ago. I have been truly frustrated as nothing I found stopped it. Then I found this video and was very hopeful that trying vitamin C just might work. It did hallelujah! I’m going to show this video to my doctor and educate her too. I’m so thankful for this help. 👍

So 8 months into my carnivore journey and I discovered that low stomach acid was causing my diarrhea and low dose vitamin c or HCL completely stop it. I've more recently discovered that I have a severe histamine disorder which I believe was actually the root cause of everything! I've been experimenting with a low histamine diet. Just thought I would share since the comments here have really helped me with my journey.

Thank you so much! This really makes a lot of sense to me. I have noticed that Artemisia (wormwood) helps with diarrhea & calms my gi tract. I didn’t realize why until your video. Great video thank you!! I have sibo & h pylori & can’t tolerate veg fiber very well but have diarrhea with a carnivore diet.

Thanks so much for this video, Elliot. I was Vegan for close to three years and have had a serious Crohns Colitis flareup for about seven months. I've been on the Carnivore diet for most of this time and have had very fatty stool for about five months and have been concerned about gallbladder problems and/or an inflamed pancreas as in Stettorrah although I do not have most of the obvious disease symptoms associated with these organs. I never considered that I might have an overactive gallbladder because I bought that when someone is a vegan for a long time, their gallbladder becomes underactive. plus I THINK I heard that excess fiber can block the bile and/or pancreatic ducts. I've been on a very low fiber, low anti nutrient SCD diet for a few weeks and I have not noticed any obvious benefits yet. Your work is greatly appreciated and that includes the other You Tube health channel you're on. I will try Milk Thistle (if there is no potentiaion or contraondications with Prednisone) and 2 - 4 grams of ascorbic acid.

Thanks for the special insight that you've shared here!

This is superb, I wonder why your channel is not as popular as other proponents of ancestral / carnivore diet! I struggled with diarrhea immediately after starting carnivore, despite using top quality meat and suet. Small doses of Vit C taken with meal fixed that! I'm gonna incorporate liver as well for wit a. Thanks for all the info!

I started doing ketovore, mostly meat with very limited vegetables. My stomach was fine. When I switched to all meet (carnivore) my gut went downhill quickly. I'm about 3 weeks in and the digestive issues keep getting worse along with the pain. All the carnivore videos and articles just keep saying to wait it out but my body is telling me that something is wrong. I have stomach pain after every meal and I feel like my body is trying to push something out but is having issues. Eventually I will go to the bathroom and feel some relief but not 100%. The symptoms were sporadic at first but now they are 24/7. Thank God for this video I'm going to incorporate some of those veggies back in and definitely try some of the herbal medicinals. I'll let you know the results.

Omg this makes so much sense! That’s why the diarrhea stops when I have kale. Oh my gosh it’s so bad on carnivore ! I have to go back to keto at least with kale Thank you for making this omg this is the only video that makes sense

I had awful IBD to the point of I couldn't even finish a meal sometimes without running to the bathroom before starting keto. Keto with leafy greens completely fixed my gut bacteria and it was incredible to actually "trust a fart." Which was something I hadn't been able to do for nearly a decade... If you know, you know! Since starting carnivore 5-6 months ago, the diarrhea has returned roughly every day or two on average. Albeit, not nearly as severe as before starting keto, but still enough to seek some answers and led me to finding your video. The bile acid theory definitely seems to line up with my issues currently. I think for folks like me, who aren't affected by plant toxins, a small amount of fiber from veggies on a ketovore-type diet is really what'll lead to homeostasis of my gut biome. Only time will tell, but it was nice having solid stools every BM on keto. I truly think a meat heavy keto with a little vegetable fiber will do the trick! My fingers are crossed and I'll try to remember to report back after a few months of reintegrating leafy greens and potentially some broccoli and cauliflower to let you all know what comes of it.

I just found your channel!! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge!!👍😁🥩

Great info! I have been looking for the cause of my problem all over and this could be it. Thank you!

Not a fan of ascorbic acid or the idea of taking to remedy/temporarily mitigate the problem, but I understand why you’d recommend it for such. The video is amazing - explains this problem with science and clear research. I now have a grip on why this is happening with me on the carnivore diet. I have already been eating fruits along with meat so that I have electrolytes and vitamin C, but I heard thar vitamin C was only really necessary for carbohydrate production, so I thought maybe the acidity from the fruits was causing my diarrhea. I now understand that it was actually the liver/gallbladder secretion thing. I have been taking berberine and milk thistle, seems to be helping a little? Not really sure yet. Will check back in. Thank you again for this awesome content. Please make more!

I hope this works, I’ve went on keto or close to carnivore multiple times and I always have this issue. You mentioned several words that peaked my interest: I have Crohn’s and in my last two colonoscopies the report said my ileum was inflamed. I know I have a very hard time getting enough Vitamin D but thru a lot of labs, I have been able to settle on a daily dose that is about 2.5 times normal. My Vitamin D levels in my blood are normal at that level. My plan: (1)increase Vitamin C first (I will continue this thru out), (2) increase vitamin A (back off on this if not affective), (3) start taking the herbal remedies you mentioned… 1by1. If this resolves, then this cure may very well improve my Crohn’s overall. BTW I take Humira 1per 2 weeks. Fingers crossed! Thanks

Brilliant video. Loved it!

Oh my goodness,.such great information!! Thanks so much!

This is one of your most interesting discussions from a Chinese herbal medicine perspective, as there is a vast body of literature addressing liv/gb and digestive conditions. Coptis (berberine) plays some role, though tending to be only an adjunct to the function of other herbs.

Well done 👍, I am currently experiencing BAD, from BAM . I will try your suggestions.

I have this problem, and I found that when I drink my normal amount of water with my meals, I get diarrhea. When I allow myself only about 1/4 cup of water with my fatty meal, I don’t have the problem

Great info! My stools have been horrible since I started the carnivore diet 23 days ago. I always thought it was due to low stomach acid so I take HCL and Ox bile with my meals but this could explain why my butt is in fire after every bowel movement. I actually just requested a consultation with u for Tues morning.

I've been on a carnivore diet for about 8 months. For about 2 1/2 months, starting 5 months ago, I started oxalate dumping every 2 days and sometimes non stop for a week and a half at a time. The main symptoms were diarrhea and a faster build up of oxalate crystals on my teeth. It was very unpleasant. I learned that a deficiency in fat soluble vitamin A, B1, B2 and magesium causes exogenous oxalate production in the livers of some people. Eating red meat liver stopped the excess oxalate production and the excess oxalate dumping. Maybe certain people with chronic diarrhea are also producing too many oxalates. At first, I was looking into bile production but, it wasn't my issue. I've been on a carnivore diet for about 8 months.

Eating plants is not an option for me because of oxalate toxicity and my sensitivities and allergies to the organic plants I was consuming. I added the organic part since some people have told me my reactions were caused by not eating organic. Meat is less inflammatory for me than organic plants.

This was phenomenal

This video seems to explain My situation, I have been trying to go Carnivore but have suffered diarrhea, But I also have Ankylosing spondylitis And have tried anti tnf medicines and I think I'm now on an anti il 8 medicine. Thank you for the work you have put Into this research.

Great information and I obviously do not know the daily habits of your patients. Excessive coffee/tea? If I eat plants daily and ingest excessive coffee, I do not get diarrhea. But if I do not eat plants, and ingest excessive coffee, I have diarrhea.

I used to take milk thistle before I started carnivore and berberine when I was doing keto (still eating veg) I’m going to give this a try and see if it gets any better. I will come back with my results in a few weeks! Thanks for this video 🙏

you deserve an award !!!

Excellent presentation

This is really great - thank you. Might be the answer to my problems. Any advice on timings? Are these supplements best before a meal or just daily dosages as recommended by manufacturer?

Adding these herbs to my diet. Day 6 of canrnivore and I have the worst diarrhea. I already had it before, but would occasionally have solid drops. The last 6 days has been dark brown acid poo. Just aweful 10x a day. This doctor saved me when I had horrible foot pains that I thought were irreversible neuropathy... turns out I was B1 defficient and now my feet only hurt when I sit for too long (S1 issues in my spine). Thanks doctor! You are saving my health, and my sanity: and it's with many tears that I express my grattitude. I wish that I could repay you... May God bless you .

I wish I knew about this earlier. It explains a lot of my experiences. You didn't mention it but bile in the stool makes it slippery which is an obvious sign. At least now I know why going plant free is probably never going to happen for me.

Interesting...mainly as a reminder of the beneficial effects of diversity in our diet. Been carnivore for 16 months , but still drink coffee with heavy cream each morning. I've gone through several periods of diarrhea. Over the holidays introduced blueberries and noticed my stools were noticeably less loose.I may begin introducing beets and beet greens back in my diet and milk thistle is easy to get in various forms. The concept of toxicity of plant oxalates and lectins is relevant but I'm convinced the answer to inflammation control lies in moderation and self awareness...Too much of anything can be harmful.

I do experience this problem. Replacing pork fat with beef fat helps but not always. Also not drinking water 3h around meal helps. There is also a trigger, every time a sleep on the left hand side even 3 4 hours after meal I get terrible nausea that is followed by a terrible diarrhea containing bile within 2 hours. Thanks much for this video.

You nailed it. This bile acid malabsorption is exactly what's happening with me. Plants and nuts, which contain plenty of soluble fibers, are the only way I can avoid this problem. By the way, bile acid diarrhea has a distinct smell and color. Once you identify it, you can always tell this type of diarrhea from other more serious types caused by viruses, bacteria, or other pathogens.

I remember listening to someone who said that he had diarrhea for months when started a carniovre diet, and it went away after 5-6 months or so. Quite a long time, but it looks like these things tend to resolve themselfves, regardless of the cause. The only problem is the timeframe, for some people it might be few days, a week, few weeks and for some unluckly ones a few months.

Milk thistle fixed me. Thanks so much Elliot.

I have Crohn's and had my ileum removed, and this has been my biggest problem but I had no idea it was because the ileum was responsible for recycling bile. Thank you very very much for this info, I have some hope that I can manage it now.

Strange, for me going carnivore cured my chronic diarrhea. 6 month into it and not going to stopp, feeling better than ever!

This actually worked for me. I’m back to normal. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou.

5 days now since i started supplementing milk thistle and no more diarrhea

EO’s more recent videos discuss oxalate dumping as another reason for diarrhea at any point during the carnivore diet. Often, the oxalate dumping happens later (or even earlier before even starting any elimination diet, Sally has given that a different name), like with me, 9 months in, chronic diarrhea for 2 months. I’m mitigating by eating low ox foods like black tea, cocoa and cinnamon but I’m also trying herbs, probiotics, fibers, lemon juice. There could be multiple issues involved. The circadian rhythm piece is fascinating and not to be ignored. Our light diet is everything. Look into quantum biology. So many commenters are describing classic oxalate dumping symptoms. Update: diarrhea stopped, yay, plus starting B1 protocol, cutting back on B1-depleting tannins in tea and coffee and cocoa. Cheers.

I see this video is 4 y old. 8/4/23 now. I have been carnivorous/ now ketovore because i have added apx 1/2 c of naturally fermented sauerkraut to my daily intake which seems to have stopped the on going diarrhea i was experiencing after a colonoscopy, which was 3weeks after starting Carnivorous eating style. My BM’s were normal until after the colonoscopy. Then lasted for 100 days. Diarrhea ended after 3 days on sauerkraut.

Wow... right at the start you are talking about me...Thank you so much for this video! I started Carnivore eating in October of 2018 and now it is June of 2022... Whenever I go strict Carnivore I get the loose stools and it becomes problematic to go out or keep to the program. I do feel that it is the right way to eat though, and I need a solution as I don't want to keep going back to plant foods to remedy my diarrhea.

Thanks very much. Why is this video not shared by the Carnivore guru's? Probably because they have no clue about BAM. Like many posters here I discovered your video way too late, but better late than never. I am on Cholestyramine and that helps on non Carnivore, so I will try Vit C to start with. Thanks to the posters as well.

Brilliant explanation....

Yup 2 weeks in you get a bit of diarrhea. It takes about another 2 weeks for your body reset and then everything goes back to normal. For a very very small portion of people the problem becomes chronic. Don't let it stop you from trying the diet. This diet or rather lifestyle has improved my life beyond measure.

You are GOLD! I have been carnivore for months and with wonderful results, but this is a chronic problem for me, what you described. I stalled recently on fat loss and started back on intermittent fasting daily and kicking up the fat. Back on track with fat loss but chronic loose bowels. I thought it was weird-how can I have this while taking in no fiber. THIS explains from a doctor's standpoint, even better than Dr Ken Berry and that is not easy to do. I didn't want vegetables because of carbs but you are correct, the fiber absorbs them. I will try vegetables (keto of course) and see what happens. You have probably helped me cure this condition FREE! Going to my doctor would have required all kinds of tests and he might not have gotten it, since he is not that knowledgable about this way of eating. I can't thank you enough!! Bless you!

Wow - thank you so much - I have bile acid diarrhea but I only get it in the summer - never in the winter !!! I live in Rhodes Greece and it is very hot here. Amazing new insights - I have milk thistle and artemesia and am going to try them - one at a time. Once again thank you, Faye Sunny Rhodes x

Biochemistry is so amazing! :)

WoW! This is gold. I did keto for two years. This year I started carnivore. I don't have a gallbladder for many years now. I've noticed a lot of gas and bloating as well as chronic diarrhea. I was very surpirsed a couple weeks ago that after eating some liver and bone broth I had some very normal stools. Almost constipated! After watching this vid, I'm wondering if the vitamin A in the liver fixed me. I'm going to have to experiment with more liver to see if that is the case. Thank you for this information!

This is the second time your videos have helped me on this journey. I added back fiber to test and the next day did 4 g of Ascorbic acid and it has stopped my diarrhoea. It has bloated me though, so I think i might try milk thistle instead.

Elliot, are the nutraceuticals you suggested best taken WITH your meals, beforehand, afterwards, or does it not matter? Thanks!

EXCELLENT VIDEO ! You put light on so many of my symptoms ! Thank you so much !

I have a perfect stool after just a month of Carnivore. Tried to add in plants but I got gut distress and constipation.

Great info, thank you very much 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Couldn’t it be that the body is doing this on purpose? People are saying that they had this problem for months when starting carnivore but eventually it went away. I’m wondering if maybe before carnivore the liver is inflamed and the bile is stagnent. Carnivore diet could be increasing bile acid synthesis and conjugation (taurine and glycine) and enabling the body to begin excreting toxins in phase III detoxification. So FXR could be downregulated for a time as a way for the body to make more bile and excrete more toxins.

Histamine intolerance and Histamine overproductions are increasing bile production too.

This was very enlightening. I was diagnosed at the age of 24 with PSC. Then at the age of 39 with IBD Crohn (they weren't sure in the lab 100% as it was hard to diagnose). So they gave me and meds for Crohn Morbus and For Crohn Collitis aka Collitis Ulcerative. The latter works but I hate taking meds. So six weeks ago i started carnivore. First week went great and then from third week on huge pain in small intestines and diarrhea mixed with constipation. I didn't get it as it should be getting better. Yes I drink enough and have my electrolytes etc. So again took mesalazine meds which calmed things down as far as pain goes. But the mixed diarrhey still occurs once a week. I added hinch of veggies which helps a bit. Now hearing this video i will try your tips. Maybe there are others with my disease profile that went on carnivore and felt like things are getting worse rather than better. Maybe this is the cause as it is a complicated combination of PSC and Crohn.

Wasn't diarrhea for me more like runny stools, I wouldn't care if it didn't go away nothing's going to make me change from this diet unless it's out of my control. Feel so good its mind boggling.

Wow..I think I might finally have found the answer. I was wondering if you have any updates in terms of these solutions, feedback received? Should we avoid other supplements such as ACV? Thank you 🌞

Love your videos @EONutrition thank you for your fantastic explainations! For someone who is sensitive to oxalates and salicylates, which of the 4 would be safest to try (ascorbic acid, milk thistle, berberine or artemisinin) These are not easy to look up for high oxalate or high salicylates content unfortunately. Thanks in advance for your response :)

I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you for helping us all to be encouraged to live healthier lives. I was recently diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis. I was considering the carnivore diet since my food choices are limited. I also have high mold exposure (ochratoxin), high oxalate, idiopathic nephropathy, high blood pressure, and histamine intolerance. I seem to be having good results taking psyllium husk capsules to stop my diarrhea. I was wondering if trying carnivore would help me heal some of these challenges or give me more diarrhea? I just joined a support group for new carnivore beginners, and they all seem to think I would do well and heal all my problems. I'm not a fan of too much fat since I also have trouble digesting it. Enzymes help me some. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Just wondering, I’m 76 and have had excess bile for Years. Mainly carnivore so I will start with some veggies and ascorbic acid. If this helps I will be able to maybe travel again. Sometimes I go a month without any diarrhea but never know which is the heartbreak of this. Thank you.

Interesting, I suffered from a very severe case of diarrhea for about a month. I would have 10 bouts every single day. This makes a lot of since. I was drinking lots of milk (I know realize I’m allergic) which causes the intestinal inflammation. I was also eating only grain fed beef which has a poor omega ration = more inflammation. I came from a vegan diet of 7yrs so my body was probably unfamiliar with how to deal with 3lbs of animal protein and fat every day. It ended up going away after a month after changing to high quality foods. Then I got constipated, that lasted for about 6mo, it was very severe as well. Now I am doing ok digestive wise. Not perfect but ok :)

Could u please also create a video about constipation or slow gut function on carnivore? 🙏🙏

Psyllium husk supplement. Saved me from this bile dump. A dose before eating. I’m now 75 lbs down. 😊

Thank you so much for this

I had quite disruptive and baffling loose stool for a couple of months on carnivore - it's only recently that it's stopped, and it seemed to coincide with me stopping drinking coffee (I gradually omitted other things too but this was the one thing that really made a huge difference and seemed to mend my bowel somehow). I also gave up all cow dairy as I seemed to develop an increasing intolerance of it. I'm just fine with sheep and goat dairy products however, and can have goat's butter on my steak with no issues. I say this was baffling because I found that, whilst I'm perfectly fine with pork generally, I don't do well with bacon or cooked sausage (deli meats like salami are fine though, and fatty shoulder steaks etc!) I can eat fatty beef steak and organs with no issues, but the higher fat % mince can send me to the loo, which suggests that this can be something to do with fats more generally maybe, or just rendered fats, but then I can cook in beef dripping and lard with no issues lol! I don't really know, but am hoping to be able to reintroduce beef mince back into my diet as it's cheaper than steak! Since the fast-track pooping has stopped, I'm enjoying carnivore much more, and it feels much more livable with!

I found your video because I have been on carnivore for 10 weeks and have had diarrhea since I started and it seems to be getting worse. I have been taking everything you suggested years before I started this diet. I take A, C, D, milk thistle, B12 and a few others. I guess my only other option is to try psyllium husk. I cannot keep thinking that the diarrhea will pass because it is getting worse. Everything I eat goes straight though me. I cut out eggs thinking it was them, it did not help. I tried eating cheese and nothing works.

I’ve been ketovore for 6 months, carnivore (Saladino style-fruit and animal base) for 2-3 weeks. I’ve recently had diarrhea for the last week. It seems it doesn’t matter what I eat. Do you think berberine would be useful?

Thank you for your amazing and very informative channel. I am on strict carnivore for 6 months now combined with OMAD. It helped with some of my gut issues (bloating and gassiness permanently disappeared) and my energy and mental clarity levels went up considerably, I also lost some weight. Currently I am experiencing a bad candida flare up with some gut cramping, general pain throughout my body and discharge. I wonder whether it could be caused by my new cardio yoga routine, which might have accelerated a detox and maybe oxalate dumping process. Or can it come from my partner who is still on a high carb diet? On my carnivore journey I had issues with unexpected diarrhea and very soft, sticky stool in general. Listening to your videos I figured that it could be related to bile acid reabsorption and oxalate dumping as well. Now I am taking milk thistle, pro and prebiotics and calcium daily for about a month, and I also eat two squares of 100% chocolate or drink a cup of black or white tea every other day, in case my issues are related to oxalate dumping. I haven't had diarrhea for a while, but my stool is still quite soft and sticky and I have symptoms of yeast infection as well. I eat a little raw cheese (Comté) every day to help with my stool, I eat raw butter as well, and occasionally some double cream with my hot drinks, but apart from that I only eat fatty meat. I still drink 1 or 2 espressos a day, because I love the taste, and I don't know how to socialize without. Can all of my symptoms be blamed on coffee or dairy? I thought cheese actually helps with diarrhea and loose stool. I was thinking of booking a session with a carnivore health coach. Many thanks for any advise or insight :).

Thank you for another excellent video! Could any of these symptoms possibly be oxalate dumping?

Harry Serpanos talks about taurine deficiency. From my understanding, taurine helps with fat metabolism. It can be obtained from fish and meat. But many people don't eat enough on certain diets, such as keto. As for the carnivore diet, there are other potential problems. Aging and overcooking meat/fish reduces the taurine content.
