Welcome! It's a journey well worth taking. Glad to see you here.

Welcome. This is a great place to learn and chat and teach with your own experiences. We all can have some similar experiences, but we are individuals, and the carnivore effects are not cookie-cutter.
What Bob said. LOL
It is an adjustment. Most people have stool issues but in the beginning, it is no more 'going carnivore' or 'going anything else'. Most anytime there is a drastic change in diet the body reacts with some stomach issues of sorts.
It is normal. I t can be a pain and hassle, but it is not long term. As Bob, said, you will get your new normal as you adjust. Once you adjust and dial in your fat to protein ratios to you, your new normal will form. I have found it I miss low on fats my stool stiffens and is not normal. If I miss high, eating much more fat than I need I can get loose.
I think most have similar stories.
Again, welcome.

Welcome aboard!


Many people experience adaptation/transition/withdrawal symptoms with the first 2-8 weeks. One of these symptoms is unpredictable stools, often toggling back and forth between either diarrhea or a perceived feeling of constipation. Part of the reason for this is the change in your microbiome. The population of carb-loving microbes will drop off. The long term benefits of this will eventually be normal stools (your new normal might be every several days instead of several times a day) and no gas.
You have to wait this process out. Be patient.

I recorded most of the speakers and will be publishing them. In the meantime, here are some pictures....
