Keto Carnivory: Life with Crohn's

Sometimes, even with a strict carnivore diet, my Crohn's disease feels a bit like a disability. I have to be so very, very careful. Most people don't understand. I have to be careful to eat only small servings. Not too fat, but not too lean. Pork, dairy, poultry, and eggs just aren't good for me. Grassfed beef is often too lean. I do pretty well with grassfed lamb, but that can be too fatty at times too for my gut.

I get headaches from too much calcium. I got a headache yesterday and finally realized it was from snacking on dried shrimp, which have calcium.

Sometimes it can just be so frustrating. And yet I am still doing a million times better than when I was eating plants!

It is really hard to travel. Or even work a long day. For traveling, if I have time, I order some pemmican. Otherwise it can be tricky finding food. It is hard to be at work with painful intestinal cramping, and sometimes diarrhea too. 

But carnivore has certainly helped, and ruminant animals seem best. Goat seems particularly good for me.

I have started getting stand-up tans for vitamin D in the winter. I think that is important for good health.
