π Addressing Constipation on the Carnivore Diet
Sylvia, a carnivore diet coach, addresses the persistent issue of constipation, even among those following the carnivore diet. Despite previous videos on the topic, she recognizes its widespread nature. Conventional solutions like increased fiber and water intake or laxatives are often insufficient, leading to a label of idiopathic chronic constipation for many. Sylvia highlights that a major cause for those on the carnivore diet is impaired bile production, affecting fat breakdown. A study is mentioned where a fiber-free diet resolved constipation in subjects with this condition. She shares her experience and that of 80 to 85% of people who resolved their constipation by adopting the diet. However, she also discusses the challenges faced by some who still experience constipation despite being on the diet and suggests looking into dairy consumption and adjusting fat-to-protein ratios as potential solutions.
π Advanced Strategies for Chronic Constipation on the Carnivore Diet
This paragraph delves into advanced strategies for addressing chronic constipation among carnivore diet followers. Sylvia discusses the possibility of lean muscle fiber from red meat causing constipation for some individuals and suggests incorporating more gelatinous meats into the diet as a solution. She also touches on the issue of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), caused by hydrogen or methane-producing bacteria, which can paralyze the digestive tract's smooth muscles. For those with SIBO-related constipation, she advises dietary alterations, such as removing eggs and dairy, and experimenting with different types of meat. Additionally, she mentions the use of digestive enzymes, bitters, or natural antibiotics like ginger and garlic, and in some cases, a course of regular antibiotics. Sylvia concludes by offering coaching services for those struggling with constipation on the carnivore diet and encourages sharing the video with others facing similar issues.

Transcripts
it's time to talk about constipation
again I've made a few videos in the past
about constipation and I thought the
topic was done and dusted but I did not
realize that constipation is such a big
and widespread problem even among people
that are already on the Carnival diet
let's talk about this in today's video
welcome back to my channel I am Sylvia
I'm a carnival diet coach and a big city
[Music]
mom
if you go to the conventional doctor to
get help with your constipation you will
be asked to eat more fiber drink more
water and if this doesn't work you'll be
given some laxatives and then if you
can't cope with your bowel movement
other than using of laxatives then
you'll be classified as idiopathic
chronic constipation and that is your
condition for life and you'll have to
deal with it with the help of laxatives
there are many many different reasons as
to why constipation can occur but the
major cause especially for those that
already transition to the carnivore diet
and they still deal with constipation is
impaired by production in other words
you your liver doesn't produce enough
enzymes that break down fat other
reasons for chronic constipations is um
excessive intake of penulis of
prescription medication and a diet very
very high in fiber Yes you heard it
right it's not the fiber that makes it
easier to go to the bathroom often times
fiber is the one that makes people
constipated in fact there has been study
carried out where about 63 subjects were
uh divided into three groups lots of
fiber some Fiber and no fiber all of
them had chronic idiopathic constipation
and those that went on a diet that was
devoid of fiber resolved their
constipation completely it is a NIH
study I will actually link it in the
description box so check it out crazy
stuff right in my experience working
with people now for quite a few years uh
I can confidently tell that about 80 to
85% of people that go on the Carnival
diet um resolve their constipation just
by going on the Carnival diet and that
was also the case with me I had uh
chronic constipation most of my adult
life and 2 weeks on the Carnival diet
and the constipation went away to never
come back however there is a group of
people that even if they are on the
Carnival diet few months um they still
deal with constipation so let's have a
look behind the curtain and see what can
be done to people that are on the
Carnival diet for a few months and
things are not happening as they should
first things first a lwh hanging fruit
Dairy a very common thing that causes
people constipation so if you you are on
a Carnival diet and consuming Dairy and
you're still dealing with constipation
even if you are consuming very tiny
amounts of Dair sort of as a condiment
in your Carnival diet remove it and see
what happens chin is okay if Dairy
didn't solve your problem then another
thing to look at is your fat to protein
ratio as I mentioned in the beginning of
my video uh the major cause of
constipation if you are on the Carnival
diet is impaired by production so your
body's inability to efficiently break
down
fat if you train your body to eat more
fat and to start secreting more enzymes
your constipation May resolve this way
so if you like to switch to the version
of the carnival diet called paleo
ketogenic diet you would be eating about
80% to 85% of your calories from
saturated fats and the rest would be
proteins or you would double the amount
of fat fat to proteins that you eat
daily so 2 to one fat to protein ratio
by dry matter this is defined by pilo
medicina in Hungary I will link their uh
website in the description box check
them out I've noticed one other very
interesting thing it seems to be the
case with all the former vegans and
vegetarians these are the cases that
struggle the most with resolving of
chronic constipation even if there are
already on the Carnival diet for a few
months so it seems that years of
consuming of the fiber fiber fiber and
all the
phytonutrients seem to really confuse
our gut microbiomes and our bubble
movements is seriously impaired and it
takes really long time to get it back to
normal on the other hand there is also
another phenomena where by increasing
proteins constipation get resolved now
this group of people is really really
small so when I work with my clients on
the chronic constipation and they can't
address it with the increased fat
consumption we try to switch it to
proteins sometimes it works sometimes it
doesn't um I would say there's about 15%
success rate when we switch from eating
more fat to eating more proteins let's
talk about lean muscle fiber from red
meat because if you eat lean red muscle
fiber that can cause you constipation
there's not that many people that
respond to the lean meats this way but
there is a group of people that will
deal with constipation because they eat
lean New York strip or Ranch steak and
then they feel
constipated what you need to do if this
is your situation is to add a lot more
gelatinous Meats to your diet think of a
joint tissue bone marrow um chicken feet
skin skin of the animal and some organ
meat typically if you are a victim of
lean muscle fiber constipation
gelatinous meat will take care of your
problem okay and finally let's talk
about small intestinal bacterial
overgrowth sibo we have two types of
this Critters hydrogen bacteria and
methane generating bacteria and if you
are the lucky one with the methan
generating bacteria they secrete toxins
that paralyze the smooth muscle of your
digestive tract preventing your food
from moving down as it should if this is
the case with you you definitely should
be on the Carnival diet but you may have
to alter it a little bit to address sibo
alone when it comes to sibo in about 80%
of cases it will get better just within
a few weeks of being on the Carnival
diet but again there is a group of
people
that just have hard time tackling sio
and related to it uh constipation so
they have to alter their diet and the
typical Maneuvers are to remove eggs
remove Dairy if you drinking coffee or
tea that has to go as well and then try
different types of meats sometimes
removing of pork helps sometimes adding
of lamb or removing of lamb sometimes
beef works better sometimes pork was
works better so you have to really test
and see which one works for you also in
addition to that
uh a lot of my clients will Aid
themselves by taking um digestive
enzymes or uh bitters or sometimes they
go for a natural antibiotic so things
that are based on like uh ginger and
garlic or they will take regular
antibiotic and they and then they
continue with the carnival diet for
maintenance all right so this will do it
for this week's video if you are the one
Unlucky One that is on a carnivore diet
doing well with everything but that
constipation just won't go away perhaps
I give you some other ideas how how else
you can tackle it and uh get yourself on
the road to full recovery and very
regular bowel movements if you like to
be coached by me the links are in the
description Box share it with anybody
that is dealing with constipation

I will see you in my next video
