I'm just a few days into my attempt at a carnivore diet but am experiencing some very odd things - burning (obviously inflamed) digestive tract, from throat downwards, nausea, vomiting, stabbing pains in my bowel, weight gain and high BG levels.
I do have a history of HBP, bowel cancer (sorted a few years ago), arthritis, absent gall bladder, fluid retention, erosions in my stomach and medication to deal with the remaining issues (Diltiazem, Co-codamol, Esomeprazole, Simvastatin, Furosimide and Spironolactone). I also take Metformin and Insulin.
Can anyone advise whether the problems I am experiencing are normal at this stage of the WOE or is it just me? As long as nothing gets any worse, my plan is to continue with the diet and see if things improve. Not sure how long to give it though.
