Hello everyone. After watching a lot of videos and reading articles about the carnivore diet, I decided to give it a try. I am only on day 9 now, very early in but I have started having flare ups with my ulcerative colitis, which I had under control previously. I was curious if anyone else with colitis has had experience with this starting the carnivore diet? If I should stick with it for a while or if maybe the carnivore diet is not right for me.

Thanks,

Tom

I had/have ulcerative colitis. I've been off meds for 5 years. A couple weeks ago, I had a colonoscopy and there is no trace if it. My gastroenterologist stays said if the biopsy comes back negative he'll declare me cured. It's going to be the subject of a future YouTube video.

Since your only on day 9, I wouldn't be quick to assume it's an UC flare up. Many people experience diarrhea when they drastically change their diet. You might just be dealing with transition/adaptation symptoms, "keto flu", like many of us did when we first started.

i can say that in the case of my chron disease, i had great improvments. I was supposed to get part of the intestine removed for how bad the damage was and eve tho i didn't have time to get checked again i can feel the differance. you may want to share on which products you are basing your carnivore diet, which surely could help us compair experiences.

On one hand 9 days in is not a lot of time to heal/adjust to the carnivore way of eating. And, on the flip side, I have an autoimmune disease that had me on pain and inflammation medicine since 2018 (NMO/SD-basically the same as MS but it attacks the eyes and optic nerves) after just about a month I was pain and inflammation free. I have not taken any of the prednisone not Neurontin/gabapentin since mid-June.

I would suggest at 9 days give it some more time to see if it is indeed a flare-up or the normal carnivore diarrhea with your body asking, "what the heck is going on?". 

Best of luck. Give it some time. Sometimes things happen rather quickly (for some not others) but when it does not, take the smaller wins and build.
