colonoscopy + carnivore

[Scott F.]

I had a colonoscopy last Monday. I did the clean out on Sunday.

I have not had a bowel movement since. Some gas and a lot of breaking wind that day and some the day after.

I do not feel bloated or constipated and my meals have not changed. Meats, salt and water.

Unchartered waters for me. 

Any experiences will be appreciated.

Well we know that our diet produces very little waste so maybe since you were completely cleaned out maybe it’s just going to take some time before yours traverses the whole tract. 
Even without a colon cleanse it’s not unusual for me to go ten days without a movement and I’ve even gone e fourteen at the longest.

I was thinking the same but just wondering as it was my first colonoscopy and in turn, the carnivore adds a different spin.

I woke up this afternoon and for the first time in 7 days I felt like I might need to go. And I did.

Note to self: Load up on the fat and water next time as I 'fill back up". Things would have worked out a bit easier.

Thanks.

Because of my ulcerative colitis (now cured), I probably have more colonoscopy experience than anybody here, lol.

Geoff is right on par. There is very little waste eating a carnivore diet. Almost all the fat, protein, and nutrients get absorbs and used by your body. It will take some time before you have to defecate again. 

My disease had me going at least a dozen times a day. It was amazing, yet strange, when that slowed down to once or twice a week.
