let’s talk about the five reasons why

you may develop stomach pain when you

start the ketogenic diet all right

the biggest reason is that you’re

consuming all these keto friendly

desserts or what’s called keto bombs

which are these fat cookies and they

have sugar alcohols in them and you’re

sensitive to it a lot of people

especially in the beginning are

consuming those in large amounts and

they don’t realize that their system has

to adjust to it and a little too much

it’s gonna create a lot of bloating and

pain in your gut all right number one

sugar alcohols and this is very very

common these are the sweeteners that are

low on the glycemic index okay so you

have a retort roll xylitol mannitol

maltitol there’s quite a few other ones

but here’s the thing that they might not

tell you about these things they can

create a lot of bloating and distension

and pressure and pain in your gut

especially if you consume them in large

amounts and that’s something that

usually happens in the beginning because

you’re all excited you start it and now

you realize wow I can have all these

kita friendly cookies and you start

consuming them and you start getting

pain in your gut so that is number one

and it’s very very common so I always

recommend doing small amounts especially

in the beginning and see how it goes

number two there’s too much fiber you’re

not used to it you don’t have the

friendly bacteria to deal with actually

seven to ten cups of vegetables so if

you’re not used to it start small and

then gradually increase it because you

can overload the microbes it’s just too

many for the amount of microbes that you

have they will adapt but it does take

some time and there’s also certain

vegetables that you may be sensitive to

for example if I already consumed

broccoli right now even though I like it

it would just cause so much pain in my

gut for other people it could be cabbage

so it really depends on the person so if

you’re consuming a new type of vegetable

that could be something that you need to

avoid right now but also realize that

consuming too much fiber can also cause

constipation for certain people but in

other people if you don’t have enough it

can create constipation so you want to

test the waters but ideally you would

want a good

now to get your minerals magnesium

potassium in definitely vitamin C if you

have a condition called SIBO small

intestinal bacterial overgrowth this is

where the microbes that should be in the

large intestine are now in the small

intestine and you consume too much fiber

you’re gonna basically cause those

microbes to go in a an eating frenzy in

the wrong place and they’re gonna

ferment the fiber in the small intestine

you’re gonna just blow up and feel

really bad so if you have this I

recommend you do carnivore for a while

okay number three not in the fluids now

what does that have to do with anything

when you switch from doing carbs to

burning fat you’re gonna be getting rid

of a lot of excess fluid okay that’s

number one so you need to actually

replace that fluid the second thing is

that the fiber that you consume from the

vegetables requires more fluid so some

of this fiber that is not digestible

acts like a sponge and it starts

requiring water and if you don’t give

your body enough fluids it can actually

suck some of the fluids in your large

intestine and leave you a bit dehydrated

that can cause the pain so this actually

believe it or not is actually quite

common so the next time you get some in

pain especially if you eat something

with a lot of vegetables consume more

water and it should just go right away

very very simple number four too much

dietary fat you don’t have the gall

bladder capacity you haven’t generated

enough bile salts in your gall bladder

which is produced by the liver to handle

that amount of fat coming into your body

okay dietary fat so you might want to

cut it down the other thing is that you

may have heard about this thing called

the bulletproof coffee right well you’re

doing MCT oil or butter or coconut oil

whatever in this coffee and now you’re

slugging this down well the MCT oil if

you take too much it can cause pain and

you could also just not have the gall

bladder capacity to break down those

fats and create a lot of pain and

discomfort and especially if you don’t

understand the difference between

certain fats

for example if you consume a lot of oils

like from soy oil or corn oil that can

be very very hard in the gallbladder or

you’re consuming nuts that are rancid or

oils that are rancid and you don’t know

it that can create a lot of pain and

inflammation your gut so it really has

to do with the quality and the amount of

fat and lastly if you’re doing high lots

of protein because you’re you heard that

Kido is just low carb and high fat

maybe you haven’t heard that it’s

moderate protein but if you’re doing

high protein okay and you’re just doing

protein and maybe some other foods that

are low in carb and you don’t have

enough stomach acid what’s going to

happen is that protein is not going to

fully break down it’s gonna kind of sit

there and you’re gonna have a lot of

pain in which case you need to add

betaine how to chloride and apple cider

vinegar so the purpose of this video is

just to kind of go through some areas to

see if any of these indicate to you of

being a reason why you have pain so you

can make some changes thanks for

watching and definitely check out this

other video that I have that talks about

bloating but more related to the

gallbladder check it out
