I'm so glad to see you're in good spirits, Dot! Life comes at us fast, no matter how careful we are, sometimes. So sorry you've injured your hip further. I had a left THR in 2017, so I feel your pain. Prayers are with you and hang in there. Thank you for your update, your fans are glad to see you smiling, I'm sure!
Good luck with your hip, I hope it heals quickly. I would be interested in hearing more about your husbands progress as I also have IBS and have not figured out all my triggers yet. Thanks!
Hello Dot from our farm in New Hampshire. Your channel just came up on my You Tube screen. I am sorry to hear that you don't post updates anymore, but I understand that a busy life can only allow X amount of projects. I am currently going to PT for tearing/ separating my ATV muscles. Just narrowly avoided an abdominal hernia! Too much lifting on the farm and at my previous job. So yes, those kegels and abdominal exercises are important to support our pelvic floor. I have a feeling your channel will continue with your viewers commenting to each other. More than ever, I am conscious of addressing my general health over 65. My goal is to lose 30-40 lbs and tone up. I want to get out biking and walking again. There are lots of fun things to look forward to if I take care of myself first! ~ Diane
Came back looking for you, I can't believe it's been over a year. I hope you and your husband are well. Miss your videos! I'm currently doing carnivore to hopefully heal the rest of my aches and pains and I'm hoping it will also kick start my weight loss again. Stay safe during all this virus stuff.
Thank you. The intense pain seems to be gone for the moment. But just yesterday it was nearly impossible to walk and I ended up taking 4 Advil at once. Yikes!!!
Sorry to hear you had a rough month Dot but glad to hear things are going a bit smoother now and that you have help/physio and meds to help with the pain. I hope it improves as quickly as can be expected from here. That's good news about your husband figuring some things out a bit more. I used to work with someone who couldn't do lettuces, spinach, onion &green pepper but not red etc as they all contained a phenol she reacted to. Their are so many components to some of the vegetables that it makes them tricky to figure out at times especially when the problem means they don't break down neatly over catergory lines! It must be a relief for your husband to have a bit of relief and more certainty about some of the foods though. I a more clear picture might be on the horizon for you as well. I hope this week gets off to a good start for you!🙂 And p.s. I hope your dog gave you some extra cuddles after you carried in that food post injury! x
Doggie was all about cuddling in February. I'm now doing research on plants. Wow...they really don't want to be eaten. I've recently discovered Dr. Georgia Ede and she really digs into the biochemistry of veggies.
Thanks for sharing your recap of the past diets you both have tried. I found your channel by having an interest in the keto diet and I find it works well for me. I still have sweet temptations (and giving in to them) and I am still overeating (portions too large with high calorie consumption), so I haven't lost weight yet. BUT! I'm am working toward a full commitment so hope to begin losing weight soon. I feel so well and healthy eating lo carb so I know it's the diet for me. I have you to thank, at least in part, for that. :-)
Good afternoon Dots and John. Bless you both for sharing this important update on the diet. I'm going to help my mom do this diet as a lifestyle. Her stomach isn't the best, she always getting sick like John. Then, her right knee lignament got damage and she got surgery. But because her job is heavy duty her right knee surgery isn't good no more and top it all her left knee is bad as well. I'm trying my best to make it easier for her and I know this diet lifestyle will help her to. Thank you so much, can't wait to heard your full result on the second challege. Have a blessful weekend you both💟💟💟.
I think the diet can help you. Also her protein level might be a tad low. For some reason, as we age, we eat less protein and more vegetables/fruit. The opposite of what we should do. Good luck!
You always do your homework. Glad to see you narrowing down the list of items to eliminate for you and for your husband. You'll have it figured out soon, it's a work in progress.
Have your groceries delivered to you. Almost all the groceries stores deliver or allow you to pick up your groceries. I have a lft hip and lft foot problem which wreeks havoc on my life. This option has been a life savor.
I was having my groceries delivered, only to find it was more trouble than it was worth. So many poor quality & wilted veggies! I still have my dogs canned food delivered, but a word of caution for people living on a fixed income...these companies who offer autoship on vet prescription pet foods appear to be changing their prices at will without advance warning to the consumers. I got a bill that was $49 more than my regular monthly bill & it wrecked my budget. It's a shame some of these companies are taking advantage of their customers.
I recently lifted a heavy trash can & learned the meaning of prolapse! Ouch, that's a strange pain that no one ever warned me about! Seems my bladder no longer wants to stay where it has always been. Life is so much fun as we age. I am also learning to not eat leafy greens unless they have been steamed & cut into tiny pieces before cooking. The only raw leafy greens I can eat are red leaf lettuce. The only nightshade that does not upset my system is white sweet potato. 1/2 cup or less.
So sorry about the prolapse. I was warned about that after my hysterectomy (no uterus to keep things in place). I actually had to go to PT for 2 months to work on my pelvic floor muscles to keep the bladder, small intestine and rectum in place. Funny you mentioned steaming the greens. At the beginning of the autoimmune challenge I slow cooked collard greens, tuscan kale and dandelion greens with a little onion and garlic. The husband devoured it and no symptoms. Hmmmm
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving I read somewhere long ago that the heat kills any bacteria that could cause a disruption in the digestive tract. I don't know if it's true, but it seems to work for me. I do miss my raw green smoothie drinks that I once made daily! As for the prolapse, I now know the meaning behind the phrase "use it or lose it"! I stopped doing kegel exercises years ago. My mistake. No Dr ever told me how important this is for women. Sad fact of American Medical Workers...they think we all know what they know! I am still learning how my body works. I do love ultra low carb eating.
I also have Arthritis...in my knees though...been on Keto about 1 year...dealing with pain issues is the priority, that needs to come first for me....even if it means meds....THEN I work on my diet....and work that in...but there is no reason to walk around or hobble around in pain because I can't take an anti imflamm. pill...! Dot take care of yourself, and do not grab that dog food bag again, even if you are feeling better! Praying for quick recovery for your owee hip! and btw, I make your Cranberry 'granola' bar recipe all the time, but omit the eggs (so it is crumbly instead of a bar) and use it as topping for my Greek Yogurt...I have shared that one with lots of friends!
Trust me...I'm not lifting anything like that for a long time. In fact, in PT I just started working on lifting 10 pound weights. It is all baby steps. Very happy the granola recipe is working out for you. Adding it to yogurt is the way to go!
I'm in this phase right now and this video where you were at and see myself with some of the expressions that are on your face maybe it could be from the inflammations that cause anxiety brain fog all those little matters also I have a large abdominal region. At 200 which is the first time I can say I have actually hit that as my heaviest. being a lymphatic therapist I have learned that doing hot tea also helps with inflammation chamomile is something that really helps that so if you hit any points where you have inflammations try that. I'm going to watch your videos and follow as much as what you've done for myself to correct my sweet tooth.
The curse of IBS I know all too well! Green are bad that's for sure I've been eliminating food for over the last 10 years and so far have found the Keto diet is the best for my IBS. Good luck to you both and Dot take care of that hip!
Thanks for the update. Amazing results for your husband. For you, Dot, shame on you for lifting that dog food...lol...hopefully, you'll be better than ever very soon.
Something I did without thinking. So natural. Well now I have to think about lifting anything. Ugh! Well my MO is to always over do it. It is a bad habit I need to break.
Dot, where are you ? I hope everything is going well, but I am worried about you . Perhaps you could post a video letting us all know what's going on . I miss you .
Dot2Trot's Low Carb Living - I’ve been using Vital collagen from Costco and it has changed my life. I knew it was working because it caused pain in my problem areas lower back arms and shoulder. The pain would cycle on and off sometimes so bad I’d have a hard time getting to sleep but with each cycle I had improvements. Just amazing. Read the reviews from others on Amazon or Costco. I take as much as I can 4 or 5 servings each day. Good luck,
My son has crohns disease and hubby ibs. And yes,lol he was dx at 17 and I thought oh man eat better so yes gave my son salads..not for long! Sorry your hips so bad, i have knee replacement, and need R shoulder one. Because all on my right side my r hip messes up. I feel your pain.. ouch..
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving try a chiropractor...i have 1 that uses a tool & after 60yrs w/ my right leg turning in..it no longer does that..i went 4 my lft knee...he has improved my hip, my knee & str8n my foot..a new bed will help my back...sleeping in a recliner helps...Def look into a chiro that yses the tool..the effect last longer...
Dot2Trot's Low Carb Living i had my knee done at 58 because it was affecting my gait and back too much. Don’t regret it but need to get about 20 lbs off to make it last. Lol
Dear Dot, Thank you for sharing your health journey. Is your arthritis an autoimmune variety? Just sharing my story. I just stopped taking narcotics for psoriatic arthritis pain in hands. A combination of Low Dose Naltrexone and Keto have reduced the inflammation.It took about 3 months. I had to pull teeth to get the LDN, but it was worth it. Last A1C was 5.9 still have a lot of work to do but I'm enjoying being my own bio hack. Again thank you for what you do. T.
As someone who has IBS I can tell you eating salads is the worst thing you can do. I am also lactose intolerant. There are well meaning people that try to tell you that salad is good for you, they say if you get more ruffage/fiber you will bulk up and be fine, ah NO, but those of us with ibs know that is not true for us. My hubby and I are doing the keto lifestyle together. He can eat anything and it does not bother his stomach, me however I have to be very careful, I also have diverticulitus and can not eat seeds. Lets just say some days you just pay the pot for your food choices. I can have tomatoes but not two days in a row.
My RD told me in no uncertain terms, NO fiber. I am hoping I will be like Dot husband and be able to add cabbage and a bit of onion/garlic eventually. What say you Cathy, can you eat cabbage?
Interesting about tomatoes! Wow...What I find is that doctors have no clue about IBS. When symptoms are both constipation and diarrhea, you know "IBS" is a catch all phrase. For my hubby, keto eliminated about 90% of his symptoms. The Carnivore challenge took him to 99%. My hunch is if he stays carnivore his gut will heat and he'll go the full 100% symptom free. But alas, he loves his cabbage.
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving I love my cabbage also it does have to be cooked as does all of the veggies I eat. Many years ago when I was first told I had IBS the doc sent me to nutritionalist, once she found out how many foods I could not have she just looked at me and said I can't help you. It has been a long expperament for me with food. Even if I am going to travel I will watch even more carefully what I eat at least 2 days before hand as you said it can and is both constipation and or diarrhea so we never know how our bodies will eliminate before travel day. I used to depend on pepto bismal to even be able to leave the house. Even with being in very good control of my IBS there are just some days no matter what its a bathroom day.
@@lindapruitt2656 I can eat cabbage it has to be cooked and I could not eat it every day. I avoid coleslaw as it is raw and I have a very hard time with it. I also pay the price for eating onions can't eat them 2 days in a row either. I just realized that's probably why I don't like leftovers because that would be eating the same thing 2 days in a row, well that took 35 years to figure out.
Hi Dot Sorry you hurt yourself. Glad you guy's are doing better. I have had bronchitis for two wks. Not use to being so sick. Love your shirt great color on you. I wish you best we can get back on keto wagon together! Thanks Jennifer 😄
Hey Dot...I went to a RD last week cause I just couldn't keep trying on my own...He told me to go on a MEAT only diet...I was like WHAT are you saying?? I also have learned I can't tolerate greens! I am looking forward to hearing you develop carnivor recipes...meat main, meat side and meat dessert is a very challanging propisition. Is the hip pain related to arthur? In theory carnivor is suppose to stop systemic inflamation...I am hoping for the best on that one too..My diabetes has ALREADY simply gone away. WOW
We're learning a lot about carnivore right now. My husband is going 100% carnivore for now. As for me, I'm keto with carnivore days mixed in. I've realized that I do need a little less fat and a bit more protein in my diet right now. So I'm playing with my macros until I find the right mix. As for my arthritis, I'm leaving open the door to go 100% carnivore. I'm hearing more and more it is good for inflammation. As for recipes...it is a challenge but I'm hoping to be up for it :)
Take bio kult twice a day and you won't have to worry about IBS anymore even well after you stop it, watch out for the hexheimer effect as it just shows how bad your insides are. Also MSM was amazing at stopping my leg pain and now use hydrolysed collagen. Been off keto for a year or so and am strictly low carb with no issues at all. Also being from the UK I have access to raw dairy which makes a huge difference too.
Green give me trouble too. I was eating a big salad woth 6-7 oz of greens for lunch daily, and it would send me running to the restroom. Cooked greens are not as bad, but I have to keep portions small.
Dot I have to watch my diet to, in my case I think it is Diverticulitis if your husband is like me he probably loves peppers, when I leave the seeds in them I am torn up for days until it all passes. I have found when I dry them and grind them in a coffee grinder until they are a fine powder I do not have the IBS problems that I have when I eat them whole he might give it a try for the love of the chili peppers
Thank you for the tip. Right now the husband is trying to stay away from them. He wants to try carnivore for the next couple of months before experimenting.
Another great video, Dot! I am a lifelong IBS sufferer (among other things lol), but have nearly reversed the IBS with KETO...nearly. I am considering the carnivore diet to see if that helps, as well. No matter how well I stick to KETO, if I get stressed (which is frequently), all bets are off. But being able to travel with greater ease, and not having every moment governed by restroom-proximity has been a game changer! Good luck to you both!
The hubby is enjoying carnivore, but there is an adaption period, like any WOE. I think the one month challenge he did in January wasn't long enough. I think we'll have a good idea with his IBS by May/June.
I would highly recommend finding a pain management doctor. They can do a number of treatments of deep shots to heal and take your pain away. I have been going to mine at various times over 10 years for knee, hip, shoulder injuries. Some that were brought on due to my weight before keto. But just recently my right hip went out when I was coming up from putting something away in a lower cabinet. Some deep shots and bang go..I was back to normal. I found physical therapy never worked.
I'm trying to avoid going down that road for now. Physical therapy seems to help. Initially too much movement was a problem. I'm now at the point where too much sitting is bad for me. The exercises I'm doing seem to be working. I need to keep those up and take off all this extra weight I've added the last couple of years.
Lol, lots of leg/hip pain, getting physical training, looking forward to returning to the channel when my husband's work calms down (he does the editing). Hope you're well...
I have exactly the same problem with greens they absolutely kill me. Who would have thought Brussel sprouts and cabbage which I love. I just dare not eat them anymore. I have been on LCHF but I am going to give carnivore a try. Hope your hip improves.
I have had problems with raw greens for years. Unless I eat them early in the day, like noon, my stomach doesn't digest them. I will vomit them hours later. Cooked doesn't seem to be a problem though.
Leafy greens are anti nutrient . Most humans can not absorb nutrients from plants. I also suffer from arthritis in right hip and lower back. It’s better but it hurts if I turn wrong
I would like to get to a point where my exercise routine helps with the major pain and then I can start playing with the diet to help with the inflammation.
Very sorry to hear about your hip. Perhaps carnivore with his okay veggies for hubby; and Keto for you for inflammation and weight loss? It would seem workable to combine the two ways of eating. Take care!
I'm starting to play with my diet. I'll have a video once I figure it out. But it seems like my protein is too loo and my fat too high...I feel like Goldilocks.
Probiotics helps my ibs...im wondering if green smoothies would be a way for your hubbies to het nutrition from greens,without as much iritation... I have the same problem with a lot of greens.but my probiotics are helping,plus trying to manage heavy stress better....im gonna try either make my own or order green veggie powder from dr ax or dr berg,both on youtube...also,ditch all hydronated and bad vegetable oils... It is awful,causes me ton of inflamtion...
I believe with your health issues you shouldn’t been dieting do a life change and that’s for life become a plant base person and you would be a lot healthier. All those diets can’t sustain anyone for life.
U need a chiropractor...i have been seeing 1 for 3yrs ...i wish i would have done it sooner...i was literally bedridden & couldn't stand 4 a min w/o excruciating pain n my hip, knee, back.
Anyone know what happened to Dot? I see the latest video is over a year old. Thanks to the way RUclips recommends things as soon as I stopped looking up new recipes for awhile she dropped of my recommended list.
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving My daughter & i are very sensitive 2 gluten. My 2yr old grand daughter is also showing signs of intolerance....i am a veggie gal but recently have been thinking of going more carnivor 2 a %. I lose w8 slow, gain quick & p 2 much @ night...may b carb sensitive. Keep us posted
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving all vegitables I eat have to be cooked. Also one of the worst things anyone with IBS can drink is carbinated drinks of any kind.
Love your channel, been watching for a while. Started my own channel with a KETO Journey and just completed week 1, would love to have you check it out and any tips or advice is so welcomed! 💖💖
I hope all is well with you Dot. Miss seeing your videos. Hope 2021 is good to you.

For my hubby, keto eliminated about 90% of his symptoms. The Carnivore challenge took him to 99%. My hunch is if he stays carnivore his gut will heat and he'll go the full 100% symptom free. But alas, he loves his cabbage.
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving I love my cabbage also it does have to be cooked as does all of the veggies I eat. Many years ago when I was first told I had IBS the doc sent me to nutritionalist, once she found out how many foods I could not have she just looked at me and said I can't help you. It has been a long expperament for me with food. Even if I am going to travel I will watch even more carefully what I eat at least 2 days before hand as you said it can and is both constipation and or diarrhea so we never know how our bodies will eliminate before travel day. I used to depend on pepto bismal to even be able to leave the house. Even with being in very good control of my IBS there are just some days no matter what its a bathroom day.
@@lindapruitt2656 I can eat cabbage it has to be cooked and I could not eat it every day. I avoid coleslaw as it is raw and I have a very hard time with it. I also pay the price for eating onions can't eat them 2 days in a row either. I just realized that's probably why I don't like leftovers because that would be eating the same thing 2 days in a row, well that took 35 years to figure out.
I feel you...... ibs is getting better with keto
That is very good news!
I love this!
Hi 👋, how are you doing
Hi Dot
Sorry you hurt yourself.
Glad you guy's are doing better.
I have had bronchitis for two wks.
Not use to being so sick. Love your shirt great color on you.
I wish you best we can get back on keto wagon together!
Thanks Jennifer 😄
Thank you so much!
Hey Dot, just wondering what you are doing and where you are. I hope all is well. I miss your videos.
Hey Dot...I went to a RD last week cause I just couldn't keep trying on my own...He told me to go on a MEAT only diet...I was like WHAT are you saying?? I also have learned I can't tolerate greens! I am looking forward to hearing you develop carnivor recipes...meat main, meat side and meat dessert is a very challanging propisition. Is the hip pain related to arthur? In theory carnivor is suppose to stop systemic inflamation...I am hoping for the best on that one too..My diabetes has ALREADY simply gone away. WOW
We're learning a lot about carnivore right now. My husband is going 100% carnivore for now. As for me, I'm keto with carnivore days mixed in. I've realized that I do need a little less fat and a bit more protein in my diet right now. So I'm playing with my macros until I find the right mix. As for my arthritis, I'm leaving open the door to go 100% carnivore. I'm hearing more and more it is good for inflammation. As for recipes...it is a challenge but I'm hoping to be up for it :)
Take bio kult twice a day and you won't have to worry about IBS anymore even well after you stop it, watch out for the hexheimer effect as it just shows how bad your insides are. Also MSM was amazing at stopping my leg pain and now use hydrolysed collagen. Been off keto for a year or so and am strictly low carb with no issues at all. Also being from the UK I have access to raw dairy which makes a huge difference too.
Green give me trouble too. I was eating a big salad woth 6-7 oz of greens for lunch daily, and it would send me running to the restroom. Cooked greens are not as bad, but I have to keep portions small.
Dot, where are you? I hope you are ok......Please let your followers know🤔
Miss you hope all is well
Dot I have to watch my diet to, in my case I think it is Diverticulitis if your husband is like me he probably loves peppers, when I leave the seeds in them I am torn up for days until it all passes. I have found when I dry them and grind them in a coffee grinder until they are a fine powder I do not have the IBS problems that I have when I eat them whole he might give it a try for the love of the chili peppers
Thank you for the tip. Right now the husband is trying to stay away from them. He wants to try carnivore for the next couple of months before experimenting.
What happen to Dot? I checked out her channel and haven't seen any videos since a year ago.
Another great video, Dot! I am a lifelong IBS sufferer (among other things lol), but have nearly reversed the IBS with KETO...nearly. I am considering the carnivore diet to see if that helps, as well. No matter how well I stick to KETO, if I get stressed (which is frequently), all bets are off. But being able to travel with greater ease, and not having every moment governed by restroom-proximity has been a game changer! Good luck to you both!
The hubby is enjoying carnivore, but there is an adaption period, like any WOE. I think the one month challenge he did in January wasn't long enough. I think we'll have a good idea with his IBS by May/June.
I would highly recommend finding a pain management doctor. They can do a number of treatments of deep shots to heal and take your pain away. I have been going to mine at various times over 10 years for knee, hip, shoulder injuries. Some that were brought on due to my weight before keto. But just recently my right hip went out when I was coming up from putting something away in a lower cabinet. Some deep shots and bang go..I was back to normal. I found physical therapy never worked.
I'm trying to avoid going down that road for now. Physical therapy seems to help. Initially too much movement was a problem. I'm now at the point where too much sitting is bad for me. The exercises I'm doing seem to be working. I need to keep those up and take off all this extra weight I've added the last couple of years.
Anybody know if they are still alive? Nothing posted in last 4 years????
We'd love an update on your health, Dot. Miss your cheerful comments. Happy Easter!
Lol, lots of leg/hip pain, getting physical training, looking forward to returning to the channel when my husband's work calms down (he does the editing). Hope you're well...
I have exactly the same problem with greens they absolutely kill me. Who would have thought Brussel sprouts and cabbage which I love. I just dare not eat them anymore. I have been on LCHF but I am going to give carnivore a try. Hope your hip improves.
I had done one tell me that a lot of ppl really can’t digest uncooked greens! So maybe cooked would be less troublesome 😊
That's what I'm thinking.
How about an update?? No update to the blog either. I pray all is well!
I'm good, just taking some time off while my husband's job is in a busy period. Thanks :)
Hi, have ben thinking of you, hope all is well.
I hope you're feeling better.
Just taking a break while my husband/cameraman/editor is busy with a new phase in his job. Hope to be back this fall.
Lovely video
Hope all is well ...haven't seen any vids lately. 🙏 2 u & fam
I have had problems with raw greens for years. Unless I eat them early in the day, like noon, my stomach doesn't digest them. I will vomit them hours later. Cooked doesn't seem to be a problem though.
I'm hearing from a lot of folks that cooked seems to be the way to go.
Leafy greens are anti nutrient . Most humans can not absorb nutrients from plants. I also suffer from arthritis in right hip and lower back. It’s better but it hurts if I turn wrong
I would like to get to a point where my exercise routine helps with the major pain and then I can start playing with the diet to help with the inflammation.
Very sorry to hear about your hip. Perhaps carnivore with his okay veggies for hubby; and Keto for you for inflammation and weight loss? It would seem workable to combine the two ways of eating. Take care!
I'm starting to play with my diet. I'll have a video once I figure it out. But it seems like my protein is too loo and my fat too high...I feel like Goldilocks.
How are you doing now Dot?
Still looking for you. Miss you.
Hope to see you soon.jennifer🌺🌸🌷
Probiotics helps my ibs...im wondering if green smoothies would be a way for your hubbies to het nutrition from greens,without as much iritation...
I have the same problem with a lot of greens.but my probiotics are helping,plus trying to manage heavy stress better....im gonna try either make my own or order green veggie powder from dr ax or dr berg,both on youtube...also,ditch all hydronated and bad vegetable oils...
It is awful,causes me ton of inflamtion...
I believe with your health issues you shouldn’t been dieting do a life change and that’s for life become a plant base person and you would be a lot healthier. All those diets can’t sustain anyone for life.
Hey Dot! How are you doing? Please check in to let us know. I miss you!
Monash University's Fodmap elimination diet helps 80% of those suffering with IBS.
I bet it is oxalates in foods. Check out list and see if you and your husband have problems with the higher
oxalate foods.
That's a good idea
U need a chiropractor...i have been seeing 1 for 3yrs ...i wish i would have done it sooner...i was literally bedridden & couldn't stand 4 a min w/o excruciating pain n my hip, knee, back.
Anyone know what happened to Dot? I see the latest video is over a year old. Thanks to the way RUclips recommends things as soon as I stopped looking up new recipes for awhile she dropped of my recommended list.
👍😊🐢
Low FODMAP is worth a try for your husband.
Glutens??
He absolutely can't have gluten. I'm trying to convince him to get tested for Celiacs disease.
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving My daughter & i are very sensitive 2 gluten. My 2yr old grand daughter is also showing signs of intolerance....i am a veggie gal but recently have been thinking of going more carnivor 2 a %. I lose w8 slow, gain quick & p 2 much @ night...may b carb sensitive. Keep us posted
Maybe he can eat cooked greens.
We are looking into that.
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving all vegitables I eat have to be cooked. Also one of the worst things anyone with IBS can drink is carbinated drinks of any kind.
Carnivore diet is a life saver
