[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1834033, member: 41816"] I used to believe that fibre was necessary for my gut health and comfort:writer: In fact, there are a few old posts of mine on this forum saying exactly that :rolleyes: My opinion was fed by the fact that when eating low and very low carb (keto) my guts would... um... :inpain: if I didn't get several good portions of proper veg (not flimsy leafy greens) every day. :sour: However, circs dictated (tummy bug :mask:) that I gave up veg for a while about 6 months ago. I was quite :nailbiting: about the bowel issues... and to my :joyful: I discovered that my issues improved. On a diet of just meat, fish, eggs and dairy I have been having the best 'issues' since my youth. Marvellous.:happy: My conclusion is simple - if I avoid fibre completely and eat carnivore with plenty of fat, I have excellent gut comfort. If I eat low carb/keto then things worsen and I start worriting about getting 'enough' of certain veg and fibres while avoiding grains and gluten and other phaff. Yet no matter what fibre/veg balance I achieve :pompous: I am more comfortable if I just eat carnivore :couchpotato: (that graphic is not red and white Y fronts, it is in fact a stylised representation of a well marbled ribeye steak). Of course, I can't say if there will be any long term consequences of this, but at the moment I am going with the idea that more comfort, less urgency, less gas, more ease, more regularity, no straining or (worse) splatter gun effects, are a sign of internal happiness :smug: [/QUOTE]
