Carnivore Diet and Ostomy - Day 88 Update and Health Improvements

This topic is about a person with a permanent ostomy who has been following a carnivore diet for 88 days. They are sharing their experiences related to health, weight loss, and their journey with cancer. Here are some key points and insights from their report:

- Over the course of 88 days on an all-meat carnivore diet, which includes non-processed meat, fat, butter, eggs, small amounts of dairy or goat cheese, and nettle and raspberry-leaf teas, the individual has lost 23.5 pounds. They have also noticed clearer skin, thicker hair, and improved energy levels.

- They report having virtually no digestive or abdominal pain and a significant reduction in stoma output. Their 2-piece pouching system now lasts 7 days without any leakage or skin issues around the stoma.

- Small red blood blisters that appeared after their first cancer have shrunk.

- Their stoma, affectionately named "Moana," is healthy and remains an "inny." A partial prolapse from November has fully recovered.

- The individual takes several medications and supplements, including AG1 vitamins, Vitamin D2K3 drops, Restoralax mixed with AG1, medical cannabis for pain, and a homemade electrolyte drink with liberal salt use to balance the low-sodium nature of the carnivore diet.

- Regarding their cancer status, there are six suspected metastatic sites in the left lung, right tonsil, liver, and abdomen. There has been slight growth in the tonsil and one lung lesion since November, and surgeons are delaying further procedures for three months.

- They had a positive experience with CT contrast for the first time in six years, with no allergic reaction to the contrast dye after 66 days on the carnivore diet. This might eliminate the need for pre-scan steroid or antihistamine treatments.

- Their diet consists exclusively of filtered water and no plant foods except for AG1. Although they still grow vegetables for their family, they have no personal desire to consume them.

- Forum members appreciated the detailed report and expressed interest in future updates on long-term outcomes.

- There is interest in resources or guidelines on how to start and maintain a carnivore diet, especially for those who have experienced fiber-related blockages on other diets.
