Healing Constipation, Hemorrhoids, and other unpleasantness with a Carnivore Diet

I have often glossed over my "digestive issues" in an effort to not be too gross or over share. Well today I decided to go into detail about all the issues I dealt with for many years before Carnivore! I take no offense if you don't watch because it is a gross topic. 😂

I discuss my chronic constipation, severe hemorrhoids, anal fishers, my gallbladder issues and how they were all affected on the all meat Carnivore diet.

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.

You will go far being authentic and genuine. No shame, we all poop.

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.

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!

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 !!!!

[leslieparsons]

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.

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.

[lauraschoenhaus]

Former Vegan....had Ulcerative Colitis, have allergies, knee, back glad I found you, dear one..❤🙏❤✊...day 2 for me!

[sandrakayd]

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

[meganringwelski]

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 ❤

[juliescilley]

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!

[LifeInTheLaterYears]

I really appreciate your authenticity and willingness to address an issue that lots of people have 👏👏

[kearnsey]

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!

[kenmarriott]

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.

[whatifitnt]

Thanks Laura 🥰
Kinda shot my ‘plant a garden’ crusade 😕😂 switching over to flowers 💐👍🏼✨💞💫💖

[shannonengelke]

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!

[deannanderson]

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.

[katie]

I’ve been questioning starting carnivore. Your videos have helped me so so much!
