Geezy

I subscribe to him and I have learned a lot from him and I quote him often. I believe he is one of the most educated people in the carnivore community. I appreciate his knowledge. In the other hand I hate his delivery. I don’t like his foul mouth and while I believe in being truthful and calling people out when they are abhorrently wrong I don’t think he needs to attack them in the manner he does. I used to watch his response videos but he interrupts the videos so often that it’s annoying to try and watch or follow.

The natural way is always the best way.

I can’t say for sure that a carnivore diet would heal your son but I can say that a carnivore diet healed my Crohn’s disease and it cured Bob’s ulcerative colitis. It has healed many people in the carnivore community who had bowel issues. If it were my son I’d definitely put him on an all meat diet. When I was going to a gastroenterologist for my Crohn’s the doctor had me on a no meat, nearly all grain diet and it was killing me. Once I switched over to a high fat, moderate protein diet (carnivore) my symptoms cleared up in 30 days. My gastroenterologist was mad at me when I told her I cured my Crohn’s with an all meat diet. lol.

Welcome Maat. We are here to help and support you any way we can. Chronic constipation has been an issue with me. Here lately I’ve been doing better though. I don’t have a gallbladder and I had a history of IBS for over 30 years so carnivore hasn’t done for me what is has for so many. It’s generally felt that upping the fat intake can help and staying hydrated as well. That hasn’t always helped me. I think I’ve finally figured out that my main issue is that I have a very slow moving bowel. It was recommended that I actually cut back on my fat intake so I’ve been eating a little less fat. I’m not sure if that’s what’s work for me but until someone changes I’ll keep going with it. When I do get constipation then I’ll take some magnesium citrate or magnesium oxide. I’ve also been known to drink an herbal tea called Smooth Move on occasion. In an emergency I’ll use a suppository for quicker relief. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Welcome Maat. For me electrolytes can help but I only take them if I’ve been working out in the heat all day. Otherwise I can build up too much potassium in my system and that can be dangerous for me. For on the spot treatment a heaping tablespoon of yellow mustard has been working well for me.

The standard blood test used to check electrolytes is usually called a Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) or a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP). These tests commonly measure: Sodium Potassium Chloride Bicarbonate (CO₂) Calcium (on many CMPs) Kidney function markers like creatinine and BUN Glucose A CMP includes everything in a BMP plus additional liver-related tests and proteins. If someone is specifically concerned about hydration, muscle cramps, weakness, heart rhythm issues, medication effects, or conditions affecting electrolyte balance, doctors may also order: Magnesium Phosphorus Sometimes ionized calcium or other specialized labs

Busy day cooking today. 2 pounds of liverwurst. 1 chuck roast (fire grilled but in the crockpot now) 1 large heart 2 pounds of hamburger patties 3 pounds of tablitas Hard to beat meat cooked over a wood fire

Way to go. That looks good.

Welcome to Carnivore Talk Cindy, I’m sorry you are going through this cramping issue. Most of us do experience at time to time. I think getting a blood test is a good idea rather than just guessing at it. For me, I drink a lot of water and if I’m working outside all day in the heat I’ll have to take a LMNT packet or I’ll be getting cramps. Cramps are generally not so much due to sodium as much as it is a magnesium deficiency. Because we are carnivores we tend to flush out electrolytes. Some people are capable of getting what they need from their food but some can’t so we must supplement. I will put salt on my food and I also salt my water throughout the day. I also take a magnesium glycogen supplement every night before bed. Even at that I’ll sometimes get woke up in the middle of the night with a cramp and when I do I’ll take a heaping tablespoon of yellow mustard like a medicine. So far every time I do that it has alleviated the cramp.

If you’re new or struggling or just wondering if your doing carnivore right now check out Dr. Hampton’s latest video.

Ahoy meatie, congratulations on your anniversary.

I’m gonna have to try sauerkraut with eggs.

Glad to have you back brother.

Welcome me to carnivore talk daddy. Man, that’s a lot to digest. I’ve come across a few people that had some issues in the beginning but yours tops them all. As with most people who struggle in the beginning it could be that you just aren’t fat adapted yet and need to stick it out longer. You also may need to add some healthy carbs back in and transition slower. I hope you can turn this around.

For all our mothers both past and present I would like to thank you and bless you for all you have done. May God bless you all abundantly. “Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future. She opens her mouth in wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying: “Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all.” Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her the product of her hands, And let her works praise her in the gates.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭25‬-‭31‬ ‭
