Hi guys,

Happy Thanksgiving from Canada! Here is my 127-day carnivore Ostomy update.

I roasted a turkey (my dinner) and made gravy and stuffing for my kids. The kids cooked the vegetables they wanted, and we were all happy and thankful.

I change my gear once every 7 days now with no accidents or rashes. I do have to level out the right side of my stoma with an extra 1/2 of a wax ring, but that is okay.

On Saturday, October 7th, my weight was down to 162 lbs from 194 lbs on March 28th. I don't have anything to complain about as all is going well.

My teeth, skin, hair, weight, and attitude are all positively affected by the carnivore diet, and my Ostomy is happy and well-adjusted.

My next CT scan and bloodwork is on October 11th, so I've got my fingers crossed that the cancers have shrunk and will continue to shrink until they are gone. Hopefully sooner rather than later as my 5-year clock restarted March 28, 2023.

I have stopped the AG1 for 3 months to avoid the little bit of sugar in it but continue with electrolytes and salt. Full-fat cream in my coffee and butter on everything. I'm even experimenting with carnivore breads although it's not the same when your grilled chz squeaks when you bite into it lol. Best wishes to everyone.

Thank you.

Hello;

My prayers are with you. I look after my husband's high flow ileostomy. He currently sleeps in a chair just because his stoma will retract beneath the skin if he lays down and cause leaks. He is on chemo.

Good luck to you.

I'm sorry to hear that. It must be so stressful for both of you. I used hospital pads under me for a year and also slept in my lazy boy for a bit. I hope all goes well for you both.
