This is the most important and informative video that I’ve seen in years! My husband and I suffer from exactly what you described: fissures, hemorrhoids, etc. My husband had surgery for them but it didn’t work. We buy bulk fiber supplements as advised by doctors. Nothing has worked and has only gotten worse! We have started the Carnivore diet and your channel has been truly invaluable in helping us and keeping us motivated and informed! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with others, Laura! ❤
You did great explaining all this. It's not gross, it's just life. If you have ever worked in the hospital, this is a normal conversation at lunch--LOL! 😂
I am glad you did this video. It sheds light on the benefits of Carnivore that are often not discussed. I did not have the issues you dealt with. I am 53 yrs old and have been diagnosed as a diabetic shortly after I retired from the Marines in 2006. At that time I was 6’2” and weighed 220lbs which was the weight I carried my entire career. I was a thick muscular guy who was always active my entire life. However, I sustained an injury that significantly hampered my ability to workout. Coupled with deterioration of my knee and shoulder joints, I became a mere memory of what I once was during my youth and military service. No dieting plan ever worked as I dealt with weight gain and depression, which I hid from everyone. On many days, I would awaken to a nausea that resulted in eating little to no breakfast because of it. I became diabetic within a year of my military retirement. As the years went by, my diabetes worsened culminating in up 2017 when I began having to inject a long term insulin twice a day (btwn 60-62 units each injection), align with a short acting insulin three times a day (btwn 10-16 units each injection), along with being maxed out on MetFormin as well with 2000mg a day. In February, I weighed in at 303 lbs, an increase of 83 lbs. Then came Carnivore! I first saw a Dr Shawn Baker video and the very next one I watched was Laura Spath talking about how carnivore helped her. The next video of her husband’s story and how he was able to reverse his diabetes inspired me to try it. So, here we are three and half months in, I’ve been doing 24 hour fasts every day in conjunction with Carnivore, and the results have been outstanding...I have dropped down to 255 lbs (48 lbs down) and my insulin intake has been reduced by 75% (I no longer take the short acting insulin and only take one shot of the long acting with 26 units). My goal is 210 lbs (or more) and Lord willing, be diabetes free! I have been able to do this because you and your husband told your stories, warts and all. So, don’t be embarrassed by discussing the facts of life before Carnivore, because you are changing lives by doing so. Take care and thank you for what you are doing for the carnivore community and people may need real inspiration with real results.
You might wish to tune in to the Beat Diabetes channel with Reverend Dennis Pollock. I've watched every one of his videos and they are top notch for help with T2. Sounds like you are doing great thus far with carnivore, though. Semper Fi
You make me cry. A miracle in process. God Bless. So glad that after giving your life in the military that you found a message that could help you get your life back❤️You find it just in time 🙏🙏🙏
My life story, except I’m 63 years old. Thank you for having the nerve to share such private information. I wish I had known this about my body years ago.
OK, Laura! Your judgement to put out this information was an act of love for humanity and nothing less. I am one of those folks that the other carnivores thank God that they are NOT. I'm one of the ones that "get worse instead of better", based on Dr. Bakers survey. So, I've had lots of distress along with almost daily pain and discomfort, from my body trying to heal arthritis and who knows what all! I just read "The Carnivore Code" and your video gives me info I never got from that book! Also, I just want you to know, that when you decided to interview your Mom the first time: You saved my life! That was the video that started everything for me. I want you to know that you are helping people without realizing how much God is using you to help others. I am really grateful for your work.
Great video. I've been carnivore for 3 yrs. Best way to eat. HANDS DOWN. !! IM 72. Feel 30. Lost 45 lbs and have kept it off. Walk 2 to 4 miles a day. People say You can't eat just meat !! Guess what people,. TRY IT !! You just might think it's the greatest thing in the world. I have great health, take no meds. JUST LIVIN LIFE TO THE FULLEST !!!!
@@ericamalast9896 hope you have great success with carnivore. I know if you stick with it you will ! You'll have a lot of people saying"You're crazy " Don't listen !! This way of eating is fantastic. I'm proof. Great bloodwork . I have never felt this good. Good luck to you
I'm so glad you shared, because I am 72,and have been constipated my whole life. It's one of the reasons I'm going on this diet...started yesterday, watched videos for 3 days straight to learn....I hope it helps this and other problems...I'm only about 10 pounds overweight. Thank you
How’s it going? I’m the same age and been carnivore for 8 days. First 3 days explosive diarrhea. Then 1 ‘kinda normal’ bowel movement. Since then, nothing. I’ve always suffered with constipation too. Its AWFUL. There’s nothing better than one normal healthy dump in the morning. Is that too much to ask? Haha. Otherwise, I feel great on carnivore. My knees etc are definitely less stiff and achy.
STANDING OVATION LAURA!! The fact that you can share your personal hurdles with the world shows what a great person you are. I laughed with you during the video but definitely not at you. Thanks for your honesty and your really helping many people!
Not only have you reversed weight gain but reversed type II diabetes, avoided colon and gall bladder surgery. Your before and after pictures are wonderful. This is one of the most important posts for someone with colon or gall bladder problems.
My story is very similar to yours. I am mostly carnivore. I say ketovore. The more fiber i intake the worse i feel. My family doesn't get it but I feel best when i eat meat only.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! Constipated all my life. Went vegan x7 years and my guts are worse! I'm addicted to senna and take large amounts daily just to go. I have " beefy" hemmy's ( says the doc) and a fissure ( painful when torn open! I have to be careful!). Colonoscopys, medication... I have a whole basket of butt meds! I'm so proud! Just went carnivore yesterday and hoping I can turn this thing around. You just gave me hope, bc frankly, my guts are in so much trouble that I'm terrified of what's next if I can't get them to work right. No one knows what to do with me, including myself! Fiber, water, exercise is a myth! I should be shitting my pants if that were the case! Thank you for humbling yourself in order to help others. , Really!
When you said you no longer have any issues with hemorrhoids, I actually burst into tears. I’m pregnant with my sixth, and I’m miserable. Hardly able to walk or sit, worried about pushing out the baby… Thank you so much for sharing this!! I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now as my family has dabbled with carnivore. I really appreciate the hope you’ve given me by sharing your experience. You are so relatable and beautiful and REAL😃. I wish you all the best!
I nearly gave up on carnivore diet due to very bad constipation. Adding any amount of fats and electrolytes did not help. Even after 3 months constipation could not stop. Only peppermint tee help stop the constipation and i am glad to continue this diet and hoping it will heal me. I drink a cup of peppermint tea after eating and i do not constipate anymore. I hope this can help someone else too solve the issue of constipation on a carnivore diet. Finally giving up coffee cured the constipation.
I suffered from hemorrhoids for 5 years just turned 40 at first on the carnivore diet had loose stool and constipation for month and half now no more constipation down 40 pounds joined the gym . What I suspect is constipation has something to do with Candida keep eating your steak avoid sugar at all cost some take longer than other to transition now if I try anything with sugar my body wants nothing to do with it good luck
@@cryptobaby2160 Interesting thought on Candida. I found this video because a man on Dr. Kaufman's turpentine protocol was mentioning he cured his hemorrhoids using turpentine and enema's, but it could have also been the beef. Apparently the turpentine is used to kill Candida. Very similar protocol to Jennifer Daniel's that is available for free on the internet.
I can really relate to this video. I started dealing with hemorrhoids at the age of 22. My journey was almost identical. Since going carnivore, I have no gas and no incomplete bowel movements. I'm so glad I found this diet! 'You've never met anyone who was so happy to have diarrhea". Me: hollering 😆 🤣 😂
Laura, don't worry about the topic because a lot of us have the same issues around bowel movements. I had gall bladder issues in my late teens and had it removed at 20 which caused IBS. I lived with it for 30 years until Keto. Now I am omad carnivore and everything is great. I go every morning and never any issues. My husband had gall bladder sludge and fatty liver pain until he started keto and is now free from all issues. It works! BTW- we are 58 and 59 and feel great.
So happy for you and thank you for sharing! The fiber myth is real and pervasive. We need to be able to talk about this openly. Thanks for leading the charge!
good look with colon cancer. Prebiotic fibers are essential for health. Most americans including myself, ate alot of wheat, that destroys your intestines and create hemroids.
I can’t imagine being that young and having a chronic issue like that. I’m so glad that alternative doctors, chiropractors and researchers are getting information out about how to actually heal the body
This video is 4 years old and you’ll probably never see this comment but …thank you. You are such a brave and honest young woman. I’m 59 years old and have exactly what you’ve described … exactly. I’ve been watching your videos and they have been extremely helpful. I’m starting carnivore today and you had a lot to do with that. I’m a grandmother of 7 amazing Grandkids and I want to be around for as long as I can and as long as the good Lord allows. Thanks again!
Wow thank you so much for sharing this! I’m almost 3 weeks on carnivore and I’ve finally pooped for the first time in MONTHS without an enema!! I’ve dealt with constipation and hemorrhoid issues for many years as well. This gives me a lot of hope!
Was on strict carnivore for 2 months then reintroduce some fruit, dairy and eggs. The hermorroids came back with a vengeance. 3 meals a day is this too much? Use to have 6-8 eggs a day! Should I eliminate eggs entirely or reduce the intake?
**stands up and applauds enthusiastically ** .... thank you SO much for sharing your story. hard to step out of one's comfort zone, but i appreciate all this information. So glad you are no longer in discomfort; you look so happy. thank you
Thanks Laura! I nearly went into surgery as well but I decided against it. The specialist said the pain would be excruciating. To make a long story short...... carnivore healed my hemorrhoids and other skin issues plus dry eye syndrome. It’s an amazing diet that I will be on for life❤
I have a phobia for constipation especially because I went through what you described in the video for a long long time. When I started carnivore on day 3 I was constipated extremely to the point of bleeding. Heard that I should increase my intake of fats and the constipation will end. Today is day 10 and I haven't been constipated again. I also do have the dry eye syndrome. V v bad but I'm glad to hear that it will also resolve that finally. I can't wait to be healthy.
Thank you for sharing your story & I truly respect that you are giving so much of yourself to help, even when it's a bit uncomfortable for you. 😉 Thanks Laura... you look so pretty too, even while speaking of poop. Lol
This isn't the prettiest conversation to hear, but thank you for your candor and openness to share. They're other people who are experiencing these same symptoms. You are helping someone. Thank you
I've had constipation for 22+ years mainly because I was vegan during that time. Seriously what the hell was I thinking???😳😳😳😳 I felt when you were explaining your issues that you were talking about me; I had the exact same issues and even it accelerated after major surgery as I didn't poop for a month and sort of never been the same again 😤😢 It was seriously painful every single day, my ass was on fire 🔥 when I started Carnivore over a week ago I was like; what everyone talking about??? I'm still not pooping 💩. and then a few days ago....OMG, I had to RUN 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️ for the loo 🚽 I just made it and I was laughing hysterically 😂😂😂😂😂 sitting on the toilet and feeling RELIEF. Now I understand what the hell everyone's been talking about! I am so grateful to actually poop 💩 without any aids. Halleluja 💕😍 For those who are so blessed to be able to crap normally I am SO FREAKING ENVIOUS 😡 And yes I now believe that I cannot - will not - ever again - trust a fart 💨
Thank you for your comment. I recently started carnivore and still not going but it hasn’t been a week yet, so I guess I just need to be more patient. I feel encouraged to keep waiting, thank you for your honesty!!
@@bibliotecaluigabriel3265 I still struggle with Hemorrhoid's on occasion and I am not on carnivore anymore. I could not sustain it my body needed more but I eat an animal based diet still just no greens and only root veggies and squashes.
Laura think you for being vulnerable and sharing your struggles. I’m 77 and your experiences with hemorrhoids etc reminded me of what I went through during my pregnancies in the 70s. I wasn’t overweight then but had been constipated for years. I’m carnivore starting Feb 7, so, just a short time and I’m absorbing all the carnivore uTube experts, interviews, docs, Kelly Hogan, etc. it all inspires me. I could lose 20# but more importantly my joints stopped hurting already, my back (which I have arthritis in my spine and already had surgery in 2014) isn’t hurting mostly and I’m feeling more spry and energized!!! I’m excited to continue this journey and see what wonderful outcomes await! Don’t be embarrassed; this information will help and calm many a tortured soul, giving them hope! Thank you so much.
If you gonna be this transparent and honest then I am definitely becoming a subscriber as I only follow youtubers that are honest and tell it like it is thank you so much for this best video ever!
Holy cow! This resonates with me so much! I was loading up on fiber for years and things were just getting worse and worse. I've been carnivore for a few months now and I've been so much better.
You’re an inspiration!! Seriously. I find your content so helpful!! Thank you. I personally will never go back! I was diabetic and on insulin. Not anymore! Almost 60 days in and lost 38-40lbs and I feel awesome!!
Hi Laura, Love your channel and advice on your journey. Very sorry that you had to go thru all those health issues before carnivore success. Traditional medical industry is a failure for many of us. You go girl!
Everyone I know that does the more fiber thing for constipation gets progressively worse over time. Being vegan wrecked me. Did it for 13 years. Worst decision of my life. Compounded every issue I ever had and left me in seriously rough shape. And I was into whole organic foods as well, not junky vegan crap. Ate tons of vegetables. Made my poop super sticky gross and absolutely disgusting smelling. Cutting them out has been life changing for me in every way but espcially for that. Been eating meat & animal fat for years now but still healing..... What a journey. But when you finally find the right healing tools the body can be amazing. So gald you are better. Sometimes life sucks. Nice to know we can turn things around.
@@fitawrarifitness6842 it's good as long as I don't fall off the carnivore wagon. When I do fall off all the inflammation comes right back. It then takes a few weeks to start healing once I'm back on carnivore!
Girl yes!!!! This was me and no one understands what I tell them, like they don't believe me that it's even possible.... fiber is dangerous!!! Thanks for sharing ❤
This is content I really needed to hear believe it or not!!! I have a child who has constipation and leaky gut and we are finding our own path to healing your story really helps us. So glad you found your way x
Me too girl!!! Constipation severe started age 10 (I was very unhappy & stressed at the time….), then hemorrhoids started about age 20 w blood. I was mortified to go to the doctor.
Ugh!!! This is me!!! I'm keto not carnivore but I'm about to start tomorrow!!! I'm 24 and I've been this way since I was a little girl!!! Taking 4, sennakots everyday! THANK YOU for this video. This solidified that I need to do this
Thank you for being brave in sharing your past problems with constipation. I'm 68 years old and have chronic constipation and for the last 10 years have not gone to the bathroom at all without massive pharmaceutical help. I'm a 265 lbs male and I am hoping to achieve the weight loss that you and your husband have achieved through the carnivore diet and more importantly to fix my life long bowel problems. My life is not my own because of my constipation problem. I take a hand full of laxatives every 4 days to even have a chance of a bowel movement. My doctor said eat more fiber drink more water and when I did it got worse and I had to keep increasing the laxatives and stool softeners to the point of being sick, very sick every time I took them. I pray to God that this diet will fix this problem. Again thank you so much for you bravery in discussing this sensitive topic.
Not a exciting subject but a needed one. I am 30 and struggled for years with digestive issue. Hemorrhoids …. Bloody stool… murder like scene in the bowl…. No appetite … no energy … causes mild depression symptoms … all my symptoms were gone after 10 days on the carnivore!
Your video is highly appreciated. You are smart and beautiful! You figured out how to solve that huge problem and you are brave enough to share it with us. Thank you! It was very beneficial to learn your journey.
Thank you for your courage. We need to have more people willing to share their healing journey even the embarrassing messy bits. Especially the embarrassing messy bits😘
When I was eating vegan, then keto, I had constipation for 2 weeks and more. After Carnivore I am so happy to just go regularly and with ease. I also had a Dr. tell me to eat more fiber, but he also chastised me for going carnivore. Follow your gut (literally) to find what works for you. Thank you, Laura for this honest video.
@@tanyadebeer4836 probably from corporations sponsoring diet studies. If I remember right Kellogg’s did some heinous shit so people would feel better about the idea of eating their food
@@LauraSpath The world is more backwards right now than ever before. Actually it’s upside down. It’s not advice either as it’s propaganda and done on purpose. Good for you being smart enough to not let them do the surgery on those or your gall bladder. You have one for a reason and it just infuriates me at how cavalier Drs are about removing it. When I was a kid they would yank out tonsils and adenoids from all of the kids in a family if one child got ear infections. Plus I saw an old clip in black and white of a surgery, a real one and not a documentary, where they cut a slit in it and removed the gall stones and then sewed it closed. You have to ask yourself why they now just take it out when you need it and do not just remove the stones like they used to do. I’m a retired nurse and there’s things going on in the medical system that you would never believe.
Laura, you are a real gem and I want to thank you for your frankness and willingness to share your experiences and troubles and congratulate you on your recovery. Forget feelings of embarrassment and shyness, your issues must have been so debilitating and demoralising but you had the courage to make changes and you have the grace to publicly share your problems so that other people who may also be suffering can see a way to heal and recover. I am a 66 year old male who has had none of the medical issues you have suffered with the exception of being a little overweight for the last ten years and getting somewhat insulin resistant. Because of this I decided to go keto just over six weeks ago and that alone has brought about immediate weight loss of approximately 6 kilos plus a major upsurge in energy levels and improvement in mood and motivation. For the past five days I have been doing strict carnivore and feel even better again for it so I plan to stick with it. I believe that I have done myself a big favour by going down this path and it is stories like yours form people who have suffered really difficult problems that convince me that this needs to be a long term thing. With kindest regards, best wishes, and thanks again from Australia
I am so glad you shared this! So much of this is me! All I have gotten for years is that I have IBS and I'm not eating enough fibre. This is 30 years and things are now so much worse and so painful that I feel useless. I've been to dieticians that my doctor sent me too and their advice made things so much worse! I know it's a delicate subject, but it really is what I needed to hear. I have not taken the plunge because of fear of making things even worse. Thank you.
Im so happy for you, congrats. Similar story for me. When i was 16 years old ( im a 32 year old male now) i had bleeding and what i thought to be hemmorhoids, and had that all the way until i was 30. Literally lots of blood. In 2021 i went full on carnivore with grass fed and finished fatty beef, beef organs, pastured organic eggs with a sprinkle of eggshell dust (calcium carbonate). After a month, no more bleeding, lost over 80 pounds, no more body pain and mental health cleared up. It was the best decision i have ever made for myself so hearing your story a one kind of like mine really resonated with me, so once again congrats on the healing, thanks for sharing and i wish you lots of prospering health going foward 😊
Wow, this story sounds like me. I've have most of the same problems most of my life and did have my gallbladder out which has caused more digestive issues. I just started the carnivore diet a week ago and am feeling better everyday. Hope that all of my issues go away in time with this way of eating. Thank you for sharing!
Your story sounds exactly like mine and Doctors kept saying is, "EAT MORE FIBER!" which I did and it got WORSE. I struggled with this problem for over 2 decades. It did not resolve until I found the Carnivore diet 14 months ago- Now, everything is perfect. My current Dr. cant believe I have NO problem without eating fiber - pretty sad that Drs do not know this. Thank you for sharing this.
OH MY LAWD! You have no idea how much I needed this video today!!! 41 year old mom who has been in constant pain for 3 months! This video gives me so much hope now!
Not weird at all!! I can’t thank you enough for posting this! I’m 28 years old with chronic Lyme. I’ve had chronic constipation since I was around 7years old as well and my large hemorrhoids formed when I was 19 after becoming literally full of poop. I’m newly clean keto carnivore heavy meaning I still have some tomatoes onions and seasonings with meat. I’ve been so afraid of not being able to heal even though I’ve spoke with other doctors and people in the carnivore community. Your story is the first I’ve heard similar to mine and I actually have hope now! This video just really gave me piece of mind to go full carnivore if I don’t feel better with the way I’m currently eating (which I know I should probably do anyway)
The closer I stick to meat diet the better my Lyme symptoms get. Been on Keto and ketovore for 1.5 years. A couple years back I was morbidly obese, on lots of meds and opiates and constipated and felt like I would explode. Today I am pretty slim, poop pretty well, no meds, digestive system has never in my life felt this good, I feel like I have a future! I still have a lot of joint pain but it is slowly changing. I have a long list of positives this way of eating has given me! Jay
Chronic Lyme here too. Lots of digestive issues due to treatment. I’ve had a lot of the problems Laura talks about. My Gallbladder has to be removed, I’ve had surgery for kidney stones, and since no gallbladder.. I’m constantly in the bathroom after eating. I’ve figured out so far it’s mainly dairy that sends me to the bathroom immediately. I’m wanting to go full carnivore. I was vegetarian for 11 years then craved meat after my gallbladder surgery. So weird lol!
@@szudy76 Have you ever looked into Lyme disease and where it truly came from? How new it is? Where or what state people were in when they began getting this disease?
Wow, you really suffered. Thank you for sharing your story. I've been having constipation in carnivore,that's why I keep going back and forth between Carnivore and vegan. 😮 Maybe I'm not eating enough butter?
OMG you are the first, and only person I've ever met in my life (I'm 60) who gets me. I've shamed myself, I've wanted to die over these issues😢 But fast forward, I'm on week 3, day 2 of my carnivore healing and I've had 2 poops! Without any outside influence! I'm also T2D but am off my meds due to my return to keto, thought I would try carnivore, and I'm so hopeful🙏 I just discovered you on my carnivore adventures, along with many others but YOU give me hope. I, also, watched the video with your mom, so brave! Anyway, I'm your newest subscriber, and I hope you and your family are all safe and healthy during this pandemic. God bless you..🙏🌈😷💙
I have the same problem my whole adult life! Especially when I went keto I can’t GO without Miralax and I have had hemorrhoid surgery and never again so much pain. So I’m mostly carnavore and I was going fine and now I’m miserable could eating a little cauliflower after no vegetables cause this?
Just found your channel and so glad I did! Home sick today so I've been binging all of them..also, former medic and an open book to everyone I know..even the hard stuff like this vlog..when we take the embarrassment out of the hard subjects, we help more people..Brava on this one! Great info!!
Tomorrow marks my 7th day. Diarrhea has been a constant and starts 30 mins after a meal. I have cut back on fats and can’t go to the gym for fear of an accident (mens change-room is 100 yards away). Gym time is very important to my wellness. If there is any tips or tricks to stop this, I’m all ears
Brave and absolutely needed. Thanks for being a grown-up! Off all the things most of us do this is the most taboo subject! Stupid what we yield to. Thank you.
What I like about carnivore is how little insulin I have to use.. About half as much... I'm type 1 diabetic and only use about 25 units total each day.. Down from around 50..
So weird that we don't talk about this when its so important. I grew up thinking I was the only one with these problems but its so much more common than you'd think. Thank you for sharing :)
I totally get that. My mom always treated me like a complainer and I have a hard time admitting that I'm not okay. She also was a force feeder and that made my life so miserable.
Bless you. I'm so happy to hear that you are healed through this. I never had your issues but I have lifelong epilepsy and 10 year hypothroid and have stopped having these issues on the carnivore way of eating, I could cry.. you literally get your life back and there is a genuine happiness that comes with it. And all those other issues you think are normal. Gone! What!!! It's awesome. Carnivore for life ☺️😉 Oh, and thank you for sharing your story too. It is a great help to all of us, and it should really be talked about. And it's been 9 months carnivore for me now. 70lb down 😃😃😃
This was not over sharing. This was helpful honesty. 40 yr old trucker. I carry baby wipes and a 5-gallon bucket on my rig for a reason. Just started carnivore. Fingers crossed!
I've had diverticulitis and ate whole foods, plant based. No flare ups. I've been carnivore for 3 weeks. I guess I didn't eat enough fats. I'm struggling HUGE with constipation and the fear it may turn into a diverticulitis out break. Drank 4 tbls. castor oil and helping some. My mistake was eating cheese I believe. No more. I drank plenty of water but cheese probably did it for me. I'll try eating more butter too. I did have a few bites of broccoli and carrots which also affected me. So back to 100% til my body heals. Thanks for sharing. I don't feel alone with these private body experiences.
Omg! I am on day 9 on the carnivore and I am on that stage of just pooping everything out and I love it! I am still bleeding when I go to the bathroom due to hemorrhoids but this video gives me hope that it will eventually stop. Thank you!
Idk if you will see this comment since this video is over 4 yrs old, but I hope so. I just found you on RUclips a month or 2 ago and love your videos. I have been on a health journey the last couple years of working towards healthier eating and getting rid of all the ultra-processed foods. I watch a lot of videos on nutrition, healthy lifestyles, and veganism... but just this summer I have started following several people who live the carnivore lifestyle. I want to say thank you for covering a very personal topic like this. I have been disabled for over 8 years now with several health issue. Several months ago, I was started on a nerve pain medication, side effect constipation. Then just over a month ago I was started on an opiod pain patch, side effect constipation. I have increased my fiber (as suggested by my doctor) and it is not really helping. Thanks to you, I have a new plan to work towards. Thank you very much for covering a topic that most people shy away from. I know its not a pleasant topic to discuss, but its something that we ALL do. Thank you for your honesty and transparency for the sake of helping others. I have been miserable in that department, but now I feel like, Wow... there is a better way to help my situation. Even though I'm nowhere near carnivore, I have learned so much from you, Dr. Ken Berry, and Lillie Kane to name a few.
This is so true I have suffered with chronic constipation for years before I found carnivore or semi carnivore I still eat avocado and olives on occasion and I use coconut oil as well as beef tallow for frying my bacon & eggs in. My bowel motions are fantastic, sometimes explosive but mostly just normal.
Thank you for sharing this sensitive subject. I have battled constipation my whole life and it is something that most people won’t talk about. Your talk really help.
Thanks for sharing. I get ALL of what you said. I mirrored your experience but did have the surgery several years ago before I found keto and then carnivore. Still with “PTSD” from it all. And like you was told eat more fiber 😔
How did it take my whole life to find this video. You have described my life, and things will change today. Thank you so much for being so honest. ♥️🥩♥️🥓
@@bibliotecaluigabriel3265 I can’t seem to stick to meat only. Since childhood, I have always been a big vegetable fan, and I can’t seem to do without them.
I've been doing a keto-ish diet since September. Although I've lost weight, I haven't fully committed. This video gives me inspiration to do it and maybe try carnivore.
This is the first time in my life I have control over my eating! I rarely feel deprived as I love meat! Going 12 - 24 hrs between meals most anything is delicious!
Thank you for this!! Been sub for a while barely saw this video 😮.. I’ve been dealing with this 💩 🩸 since my teens too 😫😫.. had my gallbladder taken out 2009.. I’ve been keto off and on since my hubby’s heart attack in 2021.. wondering about carnivore with my issues too… SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS VIDEO!! ❤
Just want to let you know you’re adorable talking about poop issues🤪🙈☺️. And I am in my research mode now about carnivore bcoz of severe severe chronic constipation issues and a whole slew of other issues, ( hashimotos being one of them)so I appreciate these type of videos!!!! Thank you for courageously talking about this🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. And I’m a new subbie😊
You’re video is so helpful! I’ve been carnivore for 3 weeks and it has improved my constipation sooo much! I go shockingly regularly compared to when I was eating lots of vegetables everyday. I’m so grateful for the change. Also, my bloating is non-existent as well!
Thank you so much for your honesty. My husband and I discuss every day how much easier going to the bathroom is! It is amazing. Carnivore diet healed my hemorrhoids. Such relief.
Thanks for sharing, Laura. I have gone through some issues with constipation or diarrhea in my carnivore journey as well. I figured out that it is not a good idea to drink a litre of soda water with your OMAD steak. Dilutes stomach acid...instant constipation. I also find cheese and coffee can vastly impact regularity.

You will go far being authentic and genuine. No shame, we all poop.
😂👍 thanks!!
💯
She’s so cool. Love her content.
Sooo many people suffer because no one talks about this...
I posted a poop chart on my fb and felt so good after I did it... freedom!!! 💖
Well… some less often than others lol, but yes.
This is the most important and informative video that I’ve seen in years! My husband and I suffer from exactly what you described: fissures, hemorrhoids, etc.
My husband had surgery for them but it didn’t work. We buy bulk fiber supplements as advised by doctors. Nothing has worked and has only gotten worse!
We have started the Carnivore diet and your channel has been truly invaluable in helping us and keeping us motivated and informed! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with others, Laura! ❤
OMG get rid of the fiber immediately, you're digesting cement! Watch Chaffee, eat more fat!
You did great explaining all this. It's not gross, it's just life. If you have ever worked in the hospital, this is a normal conversation at lunch--LOL! 😂
I am glad you did this video. It sheds light on the benefits of Carnivore that are often not discussed. I did not have the issues you dealt with. I am 53 yrs old and have been diagnosed as a diabetic shortly after I retired from the Marines in 2006. At that time I was 6’2” and weighed 220lbs which was the weight I carried my entire career. I was a thick muscular guy who was always active my entire life. However, I sustained an injury that significantly hampered my ability to workout. Coupled with deterioration of my knee and shoulder joints, I became a mere memory of what I once was during my youth and military service. No dieting plan ever worked as I dealt with weight gain and depression, which I hid from everyone. On many days, I would awaken to a nausea that resulted in eating little to no breakfast because of it. I became diabetic within a year of my military retirement. As the years went by, my diabetes worsened culminating in up 2017 when I began having to inject a long term insulin twice a day (btwn 60-62 units each injection), align with a short acting insulin three times a day (btwn 10-16 units each injection), along with being maxed out on MetFormin as well with 2000mg a day. In February, I weighed in at 303 lbs, an increase of 83 lbs. Then came Carnivore! I first saw a Dr Shawn Baker video and the very next one I watched was Laura Spath talking about how carnivore helped her. The next video of her husband’s story and how he was able to reverse his diabetes inspired me to try it. So, here we are three and half months in, I’ve been doing 24 hour fasts every day in conjunction with Carnivore, and the results have been outstanding...I have dropped down to 255 lbs (48 lbs down) and my insulin intake has been reduced by 75% (I no longer take the short acting insulin and only take one shot of the long acting with 26 units). My goal is 210 lbs (or more) and Lord willing, be diabetes free! I have been able to do this because you and your husband told your stories, warts and all. So, don’t be embarrassed by discussing the facts of life before Carnivore, because you are changing lives by doing so. Take care and thank you for what you are doing for the carnivore community and people may need real inspiration with real results.
💜💜 thank you so much for sharing!! Amazing job!! You are giving yourself years back on your life!! Keep it up!! 💪💪
You might wish to tune in to the Beat Diabetes channel with Reverend Dennis Pollock. I've watched every one of his videos and they are top notch for help with T2. Sounds like you are doing great thus far with carnivore, though. Semper Fi
Your testimony is so powerful, thank you for sharing too.
You make me cry. A miracle in process. God Bless. So glad that after giving your life in the military that you found a message that could help you get your life back❤️You find it just in time 🙏🙏🙏

My life story, except I’m 63 years old. Thank you for having the nerve to share such private information. I wish I had known this about my body years ago.
Me too!! 💜
Agree. 68 here. It’s midnight and tomorrow I’m shopping for carnivore ... I pray I can succeed on this diet 👍🙏🏻
Yes, thankyou for sharing. What a boost to your selfesteem. To know how much your sharing is helping people, nothong like the truth!
OK, Laura! Your judgement to put out this information was an act of love for humanity and nothing less. I am one of those folks that the other carnivores thank God that they are NOT. I'm one of the ones that "get worse instead of better", based on Dr. Bakers survey. So, I've had lots of distress along with almost daily pain and discomfort, from my body trying to heal arthritis and who knows what all! I just read "The Carnivore Code" and your video gives me info I never got from that book! Also, I just want you to know, that when you decided to interview your Mom the first time: You saved my life! That was the video that started everything for me. I want you to know that you are helping people without realizing how much God is using you to help others. I am really grateful for your work.
Leslie Parsons .Beautiful comment?
Indeed true . I can relate to so much of her content. It’s very helpful . Thank you 😊
Well said. Thank you for this and thank you, Laura as well.
Great video. I've been carnivore for 3 yrs. Best way to eat. HANDS DOWN. !! IM 72. Feel 30. Lost 45 lbs and have kept it off. Walk 2 to 4 miles a day. People say You can't eat just meat !! Guess what people,. TRY IT !! You just might think it's the greatest thing in the world. I have great health, take no meds. JUST LIVIN LIFE TO THE FULLEST !!!!
Thanks for sharing. I'm 66. Just starting CARNIVORE and loving it. Hope to reduce my weight and finally have no weight problems anymore.
@@ericamalast9896 hope you have great success with carnivore. I know if you stick with it you will ! You'll have a lot of people saying"You're crazy " Don't listen !! This way of eating is fantastic. I'm proof. Great bloodwork . I have never felt this good. Good luck to you
I added psyllium HUSKS for constipation...will that ever change on CARNIVORE diet.
I love that, I’m 63 and fairly new to carnivore but excited and satisfied eating just animal products. Thankyou Lord for the cows 🐄
Awesome! My husband and I will be changing our diet to meat only!
I'm so glad you shared, because I am 72,and have been constipated my whole life. It's one of the reasons I'm going on this diet...started yesterday, watched videos for 3 days straight to learn....I hope it helps this and other problems...I'm only about 10 pounds overweight. Thank you
How’s it going? I’m the same age and been carnivore for 8 days. First 3 days explosive diarrhea. Then 1 ‘kinda normal’ bowel movement. Since then, nothing. I’ve always suffered with constipation too.
Its AWFUL. There’s nothing better than one normal healthy dump in the morning. Is that too much to ask? Haha. Otherwise, I feel great on carnivore. My knees etc are definitely less stiff and achy.
Try peppermint tea after after food for a week. That is the only thing that ended my constipation on carnivore.
Going to try the peppermint tea....nothing yet..trying to up my fat..
STANDING OVATION LAURA!! The fact that you can share your personal hurdles with the world shows what a great person you are. I laughed with you during the video but definitely not at you. Thanks for your honesty and your really helping many people!
😀😀 Thank you!
@@LauraSpath I needed this information, thank you so much!
Not only have you reversed weight gain but reversed type II diabetes, avoided colon and gall bladder surgery. Your before and after pictures are wonderful. This is one of the most important posts for someone with colon or gall bladder problems.
My story is very similar to yours. I am mostly carnivore. I say ketovore. The more fiber i intake the worse i feel. My family doesn't get it but I feel best when i eat meat only.
Hi, are you still on the diet, how is it going if so?
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! Constipated all my life. Went vegan x7 years and my guts are worse! I'm addicted to senna and take large amounts daily just to go. I have " beefy" hemmy's ( says the doc) and a fissure ( painful when torn open! I have to be careful!). Colonoscopys, medication... I have a whole basket of butt meds! I'm so proud!
Just went carnivore yesterday and hoping I can turn this thing around. You just gave me hope, bc frankly, my guts are in so much trouble that I'm terrified of what's next if I can't get them to work right. No one knows what to do with me, including myself!
Fiber, water, exercise is a myth! I should be shitting my pants if that were the case!
Thank you for humbling yourself in order to help others. , Really!
Can I ask, has carnivore helped you?
Any update?
Probably gave up on carnivore?
Tried the vegan diet. Was absolutely the worst experience!!!
@@rickjohnson244 ive never had digestive problems on a plant based diet.
When you said you no longer have any issues with hemorrhoids, I actually burst into tears. I’m pregnant with my sixth, and I’m miserable. Hardly able to walk or sit, worried about pushing out the baby… Thank you so much for sharing this!! I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now as my family has dabbled with carnivore. I really appreciate the hope you’ve given me by sharing your experience. You are so relatable and beautiful and REAL😃. I wish you all the best!
Do you still have hemoroids?
Pregnant with your sixth. You're superwoman.
Thank you for the work that you do. You are very brave!
I nearly gave up on carnivore diet due to very bad constipation. Adding any amount of fats and electrolytes did not help. Even after 3 months constipation could not stop.
Only peppermint tee help stop the constipation and i am glad to continue this diet and hoping it will heal me.
I drink a cup of peppermint tea after eating and i do not constipate anymore. I hope this can help someone else too solve the issue of constipation on a carnivore diet.
Finally giving up coffee cured the constipation.
I suffered from hemorrhoids for 5 years just turned 40 at first on the carnivore diet had loose stool and constipation for month and half now no more constipation down 40 pounds joined the gym . What I suspect is constipation has something to do with Candida keep eating your steak avoid sugar at all cost some take longer than other to transition now if I try anything with sugar my body wants nothing to do with it good luck
Which brand of peppermint tea? Thanks
@@cryptobaby2160 Interesting thought on Candida. I found this video because a man on Dr. Kaufman's turpentine protocol was mentioning he cured his hemorrhoids using turpentine and enema's, but it could have also been the beef. Apparently the turpentine is used to kill Candida. Very similar protocol to Jennifer Daniel's that is available for free on the internet.
Will try, tanks
I can really relate to this video. I started dealing with hemorrhoids at the age of 22. My journey was almost identical. Since going carnivore, I have no gas and no incomplete bowel movements. I'm so glad I found this diet!
'You've never met anyone who was so happy to have diarrhea".
Me: hollering 😆 🤣 😂
I get it !.
Did your hemorrhoids heal too?
Laura, don't worry about the topic because a lot of us have the same issues around bowel movements. I had gall bladder issues in my late teens and had it removed at 20 which caused IBS. I lived with it for 30 years until Keto. Now I am omad carnivore and everything is great. I go every morning and never any issues. My husband had gall bladder sludge and fatty liver pain until he started keto and is now free from all issues. It works! BTW- we are 58 and 59 and feel great.
Wow I am so glad you both found healing!!
Oh wow this gives me hope had my gallbladder removed ten years ago and oh it caused all kind of problem .... thanks for sharing your story
Laura, thanks for sharing your experiences. You’re a great soul and many are benefiting from your honesty and experiences. Great job!
So happy for you and thank you for sharing! The fiber myth is real and pervasive. We need to be able to talk about this openly. Thanks for leading the charge!
Yes!! It is such a myth and one that people just can't wrap their heads around being wrong!
good look with colon cancer. Prebiotic fibers are essential for health. Most americans including myself, ate alot of wheat, that destroys your intestines and create hemroids.
I can’t imagine being that young and having a chronic issue like that. I’m so glad that alternative doctors, chiropractors and researchers are getting information out about how to actually heal the body
This video is 4 years old and you’ll probably never see this comment but …thank you. You are such a brave and honest young woman.
I’m 59 years old and have exactly what you’ve described … exactly. I’ve been watching your videos and they have been extremely helpful. I’m starting carnivore today and you had a lot to do with that. I’m a grandmother of 7 amazing Grandkids and I want to be around for as long as I can and as long as the good Lord allows. Thanks again!
I'm two weeks into carnivore and hoping it will fix my similar issues. So nice to hear how you healed. Thanks for sharing.
I had a fissure repaired and it was awful. Felt like I was crapping Razer blades.
Wow thank you so much for sharing this! I’m almost 3 weeks on carnivore and I’ve finally pooped for the first time in MONTHS without an enema!! I’ve dealt with constipation and hemorrhoid issues for many years as well. This gives me a lot of hope!
so it took 3 weeks to start to feel normal??? I lasted almost 3 weeks and nothing happened-so I quit. No poop, no weight loss.
@@jillf24 you need more than 3 weeks for your body to adjust to anything. 3 weeks is bare minimum. You should give it at least 90 days.
@@jillf24
Was on strict carnivore for 2 months then reintroduce some fruit, dairy and eggs. The hermorroids came back with a vengeance. 3 meals a day is this too much? Use to have 6-8 eggs a day! Should I eliminate eggs entirely or reduce the intake?
Update? I use egs for economic reasons. I drink them raw.
**stands up and applauds enthusiastically ** .... thank you SO much for sharing your story. hard to step out of one's comfort zone, but i appreciate all this information. So glad you are no longer in discomfort; you look so happy. thank you
🥰🥰 thank you so much!
Thanks Laura! I nearly went into surgery as well but I decided against it. The specialist said the pain would be excruciating. To make a long story short...... carnivore healed my hemorrhoids and other skin issues plus dry eye syndrome. It’s an amazing diet that I will be on for life❤
I have a phobia for constipation especially because I went through what you described in the video for a long long time. When I started carnivore on day 3 I was constipated extremely to the point of bleeding. Heard that I should increase my intake of fats and the constipation will end. Today is day 10 and I haven't been constipated again. I also do have the dry eye syndrome. V v bad but I'm glad to hear that it will also resolve that finally. I can't wait to be healthy.
I’m a nurse so this is a totally normal conversation for me 😂 - very good info & thanks so much for sharing 👍🏻
Thank you for sharing your story & I truly respect that you are giving so much of yourself to help, even when it's a bit uncomfortable for you. 😉 Thanks Laura... you look so pretty too, even while speaking of poop. Lol
😂😂. Thanks!!!
This isn't the prettiest conversation to hear, but thank you for your candor and openness to share. They're other people who are experiencing these same symptoms. You are helping someone. Thank you
I've had constipation for 22+ years mainly because I was vegan during that time. Seriously what the hell was I thinking???😳😳😳😳 I felt when you were explaining your issues that you were talking about me; I had the exact same issues and even it accelerated after major surgery as I didn't poop for a month and sort of never been the same again 😤😢 It was seriously painful every single day, my ass was on fire 🔥 when I started Carnivore over a week ago I was like; what everyone talking about??? I'm still not pooping 💩. and then a few days ago....OMG, I had to RUN 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️ for the loo 🚽 I just made it and I was laughing hysterically 😂😂😂😂😂 sitting on the toilet and feeling RELIEF. Now I understand what the hell everyone's been talking about! I am so grateful to actually poop 💩 without any aids. Halleluja 💕😍 For those who are so blessed to be able to crap normally I am SO FREAKING ENVIOUS 😡 And yes I now believe that I cannot - will not - ever again - trust a fart 💨
Thank you for your comment. I recently started carnivore and still not going but it hasn’t been a week yet, so I guess I just need to be more patient. I feel encouraged to keep waiting, thank you for your honesty!!
how did the carnivore go for you in terms of bowel movements. could you finally go and have complete, easy bowel movements?@@beachblondesummer3461
@@beachblondesummer3461hi, what is your condition now. Please reply, your reply is important for me
😂. Well said !
Your story is identical to mine and I am so relieved I have found this diet and this video to know I am on the right path! Thank you!
Any improvements?
@@bibliotecaluigabriel3265 I still struggle with Hemorrhoid's on occasion and I am not on carnivore anymore. I could not sustain it my body needed more but I eat an animal based diet still just no greens and only root veggies and squashes.
Thanks Laura 🥰
Kinda shot my ‘plant a garden’ crusade 😕😂 switching over to flowers 💐👍🏼✨💞💫💖
You can still do the garden, but let the goats or cows or sheep eat it.
Laura think you for being vulnerable and sharing your struggles. I’m 77 and your experiences with hemorrhoids etc reminded me of what I went through during my pregnancies in the 70s. I wasn’t overweight then but had been constipated for years. I’m carnivore starting Feb 7, so, just a short time and I’m absorbing all the carnivore uTube experts, interviews, docs, Kelly Hogan, etc. it all inspires me. I could lose 20# but more importantly my joints stopped hurting already, my back (which I have arthritis in my spine and already had surgery in 2014) isn’t hurting mostly and I’m feeling more spry and energized!!! I’m excited to continue this journey and see what wonderful outcomes await!
Don’t be embarrassed; this information will help and calm many a tortured soul, giving them hope! Thank you so much.
I’m 76 and thinking about trying carnivore. How are you doing now?
Kelly Hogan lol. Mentally ill fruit loop… 🤡
If you gonna be this transparent and honest then I am definitely becoming a subscriber as I only follow youtubers that are honest and tell it like it is thank you so much for this best video ever!
So much courage. Love it. Everyone has had these issues at some point in life. Happy you shared. Thank you
Holy cow! This resonates with me so much! I was loading up on fiber for years and things were just getting worse and worse. I've been carnivore for a few months now and I've been so much better.
You’re an inspiration!! Seriously. I find your content so helpful!! Thank you. I personally will never go back! I was diabetic and on insulin. Not anymore! Almost 60 days in and lost 38-40lbs and I feel awesome!!

Thanks! 😬😂
Hi Laura, Love your channel and advice on your journey. Very sorry that you had to go thru all those health issues before carnivore success. Traditional medical industry is a failure for many of us. You go girl!
Everyone I know that does the more fiber thing for constipation gets progressively worse over time. Being vegan wrecked me. Did it for 13 years. Worst decision of my life. Compounded every issue I ever had and left me in seriously rough shape. And I was into whole organic foods as well, not junky vegan crap. Ate tons of vegetables. Made my poop super sticky gross and absolutely disgusting smelling. Cutting them out has been life changing for me in every way but espcially for that. Been eating meat & animal fat for years now but still healing..... What a journey. But when you finally find the right healing tools the body can be amazing. So gald you are better. Sometimes life sucks. Nice to know we can turn things around.
Thankful for this video, I have suffered from the same things for 13 years. 1 month in for carnivore and seeing hope!!!! Thank you thank you!
I've just started carnivore to heal a gut issue, I'm so glad you made this video, it's just what I needed to hear!
How is the healing going?
@@fitawrarifitness6842 it's good as long as I don't fall off the carnivore wagon. When I do fall off all the inflammation comes right back. It then takes a few weeks to start healing once I'm back on carnivore!

Me too girl!!! Constipation severe started age 10 (I was very unhappy & stressed at the time….), then hemorrhoids started about age 20 w blood. I was mortified to go to the doctor.

I SO needed to hear this incredibly helpful video! Thank You!
Thank you for being brave in sharing your past problems with constipation. I'm 68 years old and have chronic constipation and for the last 10 years have not gone to the bathroom at all without massive pharmaceutical help. I'm a 265 lbs male and I am hoping to achieve the weight loss that you and your husband have achieved through the carnivore diet and more importantly to fix my life long bowel problems. My life is not my own because of my constipation problem. I take a hand full of laxatives every 4 days to even have a chance of a bowel movement. My doctor said eat more fiber drink more water and when I did it got worse and I had to keep increasing the laxatives and stool softeners to the point of being sick, very sick every time I took them. I pray to God that this diet will fix this problem. Again thank you so much for you bravery in discussing this sensitive topic.
You heal from this diet please reply 🙏🙏
Thank you for talking about this subject I have Hashimotos and the first place I notice my issue is during digestion and elimination.
Not a exciting subject but a needed one. I am 30 and struggled for years with digestive issue. Hemorrhoids …. Bloody stool… murder like scene in the bowl…. No appetite … no energy … causes mild depression symptoms … all my symptoms were gone after 10 days on the carnivore!
Your video is highly appreciated. You are smart and beautiful! You figured out how to solve that huge problem and you are brave enough to share it with us. Thank you! It was very beneficial to learn your journey.
Thank you for your courage. We need to have more people willing to share their healing journey even the embarrassing messy bits. Especially the embarrassing messy bits😘
I really appreciate your authenticity and willingness to address an issue that lots of people have 👏👏
When I was eating vegan, then keto, I had constipation for 2 weeks and more. After Carnivore I am so happy to just go regularly and with ease. I also had a Dr. tell me to eat more fiber, but he also chastised me for going carnivore. Follow your gut (literally) to find what works for you. Thank you, Laura for this honest video.
The advice is so backwards. Yet once people try it the results are so obvious.
@@LauraSpath Where did this myth come from?
@@tanyadebeer4836 probably from corporations sponsoring diet studies. If I remember right Kellogg’s did some heinous shit so people would feel better about the idea of eating their food
@@LauraSpath The world is more backwards right now than ever before. Actually it’s upside down. It’s not advice either as it’s propaganda and done on purpose. Good for you being smart enough to not let them do the surgery on those or your gall bladder. You have one for a reason and it just infuriates me at how cavalier Drs are about removing it. When I was a kid they would yank out tonsils and adenoids from all of the kids in a family if one child got ear infections. Plus I saw an old clip in black and white of a surgery, a real one and not a documentary, where they cut a slit in it and removed the gall stones and then sewed it closed. You have to ask yourself why they now just take it out when you need it and do not just remove the stones like they used to do. I’m a retired nurse and there’s things going on in the medical system that you would never believe.
@@VickiTakacs. - 10000000% agree with you. ❤
Thank you for this!! You’ve answered my questions and helped me SO much. Awkward topic, but we’re watching because we have the same issues!
Laura, you are a real gem and I want to thank you for your frankness and willingness to share your experiences and troubles and congratulate you on your recovery.
Forget feelings of embarrassment and shyness, your issues must have been so debilitating and demoralising but you had the courage to make changes and you have the grace to publicly share your problems so that other people who may also be suffering can see a way to heal and recover.
I am a 66 year old male who has had none of the medical issues you have suffered with the exception of being a little overweight for the last ten years and getting somewhat insulin resistant.
Because of this I decided to go keto just over six weeks ago and that alone has brought about immediate weight loss of approximately 6 kilos plus a major upsurge in energy levels and improvement in mood and motivation. For the past five days I have been doing strict carnivore and feel even better again for it so I plan to stick with it. I believe that I have done myself a big favour by going down this path and it is stories like yours form people who have suffered really difficult problems that convince me that this needs to be a long term thing.
With kindest regards, best wishes, and thanks again from Australia
Thank you for your vulnerability and talking about unpleasant things in your quest to help others. Seriously, thank you!
I am so glad you shared this! So much of this is me! All I have gotten for years is that I have IBS and I'm not eating enough fibre. This is 30 years and things are now so much worse and so painful that I feel useless. I've been to dieticians that my doctor sent me too and their advice made things so much worse!
I know it's a delicate subject, but it really is what I needed to hear. I have not taken the plunge because of fear of making things even worse.
Thank you.
Im so happy for you, congrats. Similar story for me. When i was 16 years old ( im a 32 year old male now) i had bleeding and what i thought to be hemmorhoids, and had that all the way until i was 30. Literally lots of blood. In 2021 i went full on carnivore with grass fed and finished fatty beef, beef organs, pastured organic eggs with a sprinkle of eggshell dust (calcium carbonate). After a month, no more bleeding, lost over 80 pounds, no more body pain and mental health cleared up. It was the best decision i have ever made for myself so hearing your story a one kind of like mine really resonated with me, so once again congrats on the healing, thanks for sharing and i wish you lots of prospering health going foward 😊
Thanks for sharing. I just started the diet this week. Are you eating the eggs boiled or fried?
@@samuelbahagohosea I usually feel my best when I soft boil the eggs with the yolks still a bit runny
@@RandomHuTaoSimp Thank you so much for the reply. I will try it.
Wow, this story sounds like me.
I've have most of the same problems most of my life and did have my gallbladder out which has caused more digestive issues.
I just started the carnivore diet a week ago and am feeling better everyday.
Hope that all of my issues go away in time with this way of eating.
Thank you for sharing!
Your openness has been a blessing! Thank you for sharing your story!
Your story sounds exactly like mine and Doctors kept saying is, "EAT MORE FIBER!" which I did and it got WORSE. I struggled with this problem for over 2 decades. It did not resolve until I found the Carnivore diet 14 months ago- Now, everything is perfect. My current Dr. cant believe I have NO problem without eating fiber - pretty sad that Drs do not know this. Thank you for sharing this.
Can you telle how long it took to heal and what problems you had?
OH MY LAWD! You have no idea how much I needed this video today!!! 41 year old mom who has been in constant pain for 3 months! This video gives me so much hope now!
Not weird at all!! I can’t thank you enough for posting this! I’m 28 years old with chronic Lyme. I’ve had chronic constipation since I was around 7years old as well and my large hemorrhoids formed when I was 19 after becoming literally full of poop. I’m newly clean keto carnivore heavy meaning I still have some tomatoes onions and seasonings with meat. I’ve been so afraid of not being able to heal even though I’ve spoke with other doctors and people in the carnivore community. Your story is the first I’ve heard similar to mine and I actually have hope now! This video just really gave me piece of mind to go full carnivore if I don’t feel better with the way I’m currently eating (which I know I should probably do anyway)
The closer I stick to meat diet the better my Lyme symptoms get. Been on Keto and ketovore for 1.5 years. A couple years back I was morbidly obese, on lots of meds and opiates and constipated and felt like I would explode.
Today I am pretty slim, poop pretty well, no meds, digestive system has never in my life felt this good, I feel like I have a future! I still have a lot of joint pain but it is slowly changing. I have a long list of positives this way of eating has given me! Jay
Chronic Lyme here too. Lots of digestive issues due to treatment. I’ve had a lot of the problems Laura talks about. My Gallbladder has to be removed, I’ve had surgery for kidney stones, and since no gallbladder.. I’m constantly in the bathroom after eating. I’ve figured out so far it’s mainly dairy that sends me to the bathroom immediately. I’m wanting to go full carnivore. I was vegetarian for 11 years then craved meat after my gallbladder surgery. So weird lol!
@@szudy76 Have you ever looked into Lyme disease and where it truly came from? How new it is? Where or what state people were in when they began getting this disease?
Wow, you really suffered. Thank you for sharing your story. I've been having constipation in carnivore,that's why I keep going back and forth between Carnivore and vegan. 😮 Maybe I'm not eating enough butter?
OMG you are the first, and only person I've ever met in my life (I'm 60) who gets me. I've shamed myself, I've wanted to die over these issues😢 But fast forward, I'm on week 3, day 2 of my carnivore healing and I've had 2 poops! Without any outside influence! I'm also T2D but am off my meds due to my return to keto, thought I would try carnivore, and I'm so hopeful🙏 I just discovered you on my carnivore adventures, along with many others but YOU give me hope. I, also, watched the video with your mom, so brave! Anyway, I'm your newest subscriber, and I hope you and your family are all safe and healthy during this pandemic. God bless you..🙏🌈😷💙
I have the same problem my whole adult life! Especially when I went keto I can’t GO without Miralax and I have had hemorrhoid surgery and never again so much pain. So I’m mostly carnavore and I was going fine and now I’m miserable could eating a little cauliflower after no vegetables cause this?
bro you realise 2 poop in 3 weeks is dangerously unhealthy? ^^
Just found your channel and so glad I did! Home sick today so I've been binging all of them..also, former medic and an open book to everyone I know..even the hard stuff like this vlog..when we take the embarrassment out of the hard subjects, we help more people..Brava on this one! Great info!!
Thank you! I am a nurse, who deal with patients with early diabetes....shame on the specials( doctors) who don't know enough about nutrition.
My wife and I are on Keto but because I’m having hemorrhoid problems I m think the carnivore diet would be the way to go. Thanks for sharing.
I know it’s got to be embarrassing, but so many people are dealing with some of these same real life issues, thank you! ❤❤️
Tomorrow marks my 7th day. Diarrhea has been a constant and starts 30 mins after a meal. I have cut back on fats and can’t go to the gym for fear of an accident (mens change-room is 100 yards away). Gym time is very important to my wellness. If there is any tips or tricks to stop this, I’m all ears
There may not be a braver video ever posted. The good, the bad, and the ugly, people are dying to hear. Thank you.
Brave and absolutely needed. Thanks for being a grown-up! Off all the things most of us do this is the most taboo subject! Stupid what we yield to. Thank you.
What I like about carnivore is how little insulin I have to use.. About half as much... I'm type 1 diabetic and only use about 25 units total each day.. Down from around 50..
Thanks for the honesty. Some of us need the transparency.
So weird that we don't talk about this when its so important. I grew up thinking I was the only one with these problems but its so much more common than you'd think. Thank you for sharing :)
Yes I am realizing that as well!
I totally get that. My mom always treated me like a complainer and I have a hard time admitting that I'm not okay. She also was a force feeder and that made my life so miserable.
Bless you. I'm so happy to hear that you are healed through this. I never had your issues but I have lifelong epilepsy and 10 year hypothroid and have stopped having these issues on the carnivore way of eating, I could cry.. you literally get your life back and there is a genuine happiness that comes with it. And all those other issues you think are normal. Gone! What!!! It's awesome. Carnivore for life ☺️😉
Oh, and thank you for sharing your story too. It is a great help to all of us, and it should really be talked about.
And it's been 9 months carnivore for me now. 70lb down 😃😃😃
Thank you for sharing. This is a hard topic for ppl that needs to be discussed.
How did I not about these past issues? No wonder you are committed to Carnivore! So happy for you.
😬😬 they are pretty embarrassing so I just always said "digestive issues" and left it at that.
This was not over sharing. This was helpful honesty. 40 yr old trucker. I carry baby wipes and a 5-gallon bucket on my rig for a reason. Just started carnivore. Fingers crossed!
I've had diverticulitis and ate whole foods, plant based. No flare ups. I've been carnivore for 3 weeks. I guess I didn't eat enough fats. I'm struggling HUGE with constipation and the fear it may turn into a diverticulitis out break. Drank 4 tbls. castor oil and helping some. My mistake was eating cheese I believe. No more. I drank plenty of water but cheese probably did it for me. I'll try eating more butter too. I did have a few bites of broccoli and carrots which also affected me. So back to 100% til my body heals. Thanks for sharing. I don't feel alone with these private body experiences.
Omg! I am on day 9 on the carnivore and I am on that stage of just pooping everything out and I love it! I am still bleeding when I go to the bathroom due to hemorrhoids but this video gives me hope that it will eventually stop. Thank you!
Any updates on the hemorrhoids?
I am on week 12 of my carnivore journey. I get them on and off but I am bleeding way less.
What about now?
Omg it’s so amazing to find someone that talks about same issues...well done!
Idk if you will see this comment since this video is over 4 yrs old, but I hope so. I just found you on RUclips a month or 2 ago and love your videos. I have been on a health journey the last couple years of working towards healthier eating and getting rid of all the ultra-processed foods. I watch a lot of videos on nutrition, healthy lifestyles, and veganism... but just this summer I have started following several people who live the carnivore lifestyle. I want to say thank you for covering a very personal topic like this. I have been disabled for over 8 years now with several health issue. Several months ago, I was started on a nerve pain medication, side effect constipation. Then just over a month ago I was started on an opiod pain patch, side effect constipation. I have increased my fiber (as suggested by my doctor) and it is not really helping.
Thanks to you, I have a new plan to work towards. Thank you very much for covering a topic that most people shy away from. I know its not a pleasant topic to discuss, but its something that we ALL do. Thank you for your honesty and transparency for the sake of helping others. I have been miserable in that department, but now I feel like, Wow... there is a better way to help my situation.
Even though I'm nowhere near carnivore, I have learned so much from you, Dr. Ken Berry, and Lillie Kane to name a few.
This is so true I have suffered with chronic constipation for years before I found carnivore or semi carnivore I still eat avocado and olives on occasion and I use coconut oil as well as beef tallow for frying my bacon & eggs in. My bowel motions are fantastic, sometimes explosive but mostly just normal.
I’ve been questioning starting carnivore. Your videos have helped me so so much!
I think that there are a lot more people that will be able to relate to this than you think. Great work!
Thank you for sharing this sensitive subject. I have battled constipation my whole life and it is something that most people won’t talk about. Your talk really help.
Good for you! Yes, someone NEEDS to talk about these things.
Thanks for sharing. I get ALL of what you said. I mirrored your experience but did have the surgery several years ago before I found keto and then carnivore. Still with “PTSD” from it all. And like you was told eat more fiber 😔
How did it take my whole life to find this video. You have described my life, and things will change today. Thank you so much for being so honest. ♥️🥩♥️🥓
Did you start the diet and how is it going?

I can’t seem to stick to meat only. Since childhood, I have always been a big vegetable fan, and I can’t seem to do without them.
I am so thankful for this video. I've desperately needed to hear this and have searched everywhere for this information.
Thank you so much!!!
I've been doing a keto-ish diet since September. Although I've lost weight, I haven't fully committed. This video gives me inspiration to do it and maybe try carnivore.
This is the first time in my life I have control over my eating! I rarely feel deprived as I love meat! Going 12 - 24 hrs between meals most anything is delicious!
Thank you for this!! Been sub for a while barely saw this video 😮.. I’ve been dealing with this 💩 🩸 since my teens too 😫😫.. had my gallbladder taken out 2009.. I’ve been keto off and on since my hubby’s heart attack in 2021.. wondering about carnivore with my issues too… SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS VIDEO!! ❤
Just want to let you know you’re adorable talking about poop issues🤪🙈☺️. And I am in my research mode now about carnivore bcoz of severe severe chronic constipation issues and a whole slew of other issues, ( hashimotos being one of them)so I appreciate these type of videos!!!! Thank you for courageously talking about this🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. And I’m a new subbie😊
You’re video is so helpful! I’ve been carnivore for 3 weeks and it has improved my constipation sooo much! I go shockingly regularly compared to when I was eating lots of vegetables everyday. I’m so grateful for the change. Also, my bloating is non-existent as well!
Laura, thank you for sharing this with us. I am sure you will help someone heal themselves. Brave
Thank you so much for your honesty. My husband and I discuss every day how much easier going to the bathroom is! It is amazing. Carnivore diet healed my hemorrhoids. Such relief.
Thanks for sharing, Laura. I have gone through some issues with constipation or diarrhea in my carnivore journey as well. I figured out that it is not a good idea to drink a litre of soda water with your OMAD steak. Dilutes stomach acid...instant constipation. I also find cheese and coffee can vastly impact regularity.
How do you deal with thirst while eating? I like using salt but it makes me want a cool sparkling water with most meals
