So I’ve been on a keto / carnivore-ish diet for less than two months and as I mentioned before I think I’ve adapted rather naturally to it. That said, I still feel like something is not right with my digestion.
I don’t feel any sense of bloating or discomfort like I used to experience on a “regular” unhealthy diet, but going to the bathroom is just a rare experience, and I can tell that it accumulates on my lower stomach. I hate the heavy feeling and feel like this should not be happening.
I had a piece (less than half) of a super processed supermarket apple fritter (pastry), thinking that it’s been long enough and it wouldn’t be a big deal. Well long story short, I did not leave the toilet the next day and even ended up with hemorrhoids. Thankfully I’ve since healed. But this is something that I don’t want to experience again.
In contrast, for days now I’ve been back to seldom using the toilet. I still haven’t gotten the magnesium supplements that are supposed to help with this because I can’t afford them right now. But is this something I have to rely on?
