Carnivore Diet for Neuropathy - Possible management/cure?

Please tell us much more about this diet and your experiences with it!!!

I have gastroparesis. I eat too much red meat I throw it right back up. It’s like my body can’t digest red meat. I read an article in for continuing education credits for my RN degree and it talks about how long red meat can sit on your stomach depending on how bad the gastroparesis. I can only eat four pieces of red meat then I start throwing up. Diet not for me. Currently fixed myself a bowl of navy beans with carrots and hormone free chicken backed. I am perfectly fine with that.

Malarkey. Ancient humans only had a lifespan of twenty some years. Although many of the processed, packaged foods available today are not good for you, a restricted diet like you list is not healthy, plus, that diet never existed. Humans always ate nuts, fruits and grains.

@beastofburden and @mpzz
I'm really liking both of your comments. There are many different "ancient" ancestors. Some lived many years and some lived like what was stated, "20 yrs old".
As our elders, and our ancients advanced, they cultivated and hunted etc.
Our ancestry can be helpful to deduce what may be a healthy diet for you today.

Cheers,
Jill the Pill Best to all!

Hi,
As one who is living with an excessively restrictive diet the only advice would be stick with what suits you best, trial and error. Read everything you can, stick with scientific fact and not anecdotal evidence, then do what you must.
I'm dealing with IBS, SIBO, T2, CKD and ANS which has caused slow digestion among other neuropathys. If I was to follow what is supposed to be best for me I wouldn't be eating as they all contradict one another for the diseases I have! What I do insist on is little or no man made or adulterated rubbish is injested. I stick with natural foods as much as possible so not 100% but very careful in what I pick off the shelf.
Has it helped, no, not at all, but I do feel better for it in myself. I'm playing mind games I suspect.
I'm essentially living on wholemeal bread with the smell of a slice of shaved ham and plastic butter twice a day with 6 cups of tea thrown in for good measure. Once a week I get a small portion of grilled chicken and a few fresh vegitables, no green leafy ones though. Throughout the week I may sample around 4 eggs if desired. If I'm running Hypo then I could throw in some Manuka honey to bring back up the glucoes level. I use Stevia as my sweetener and am slowly reducing that as well. I absolutely hate my diet but the consequences of straying from it are far worse than putting up with the diet. I try to be salt and sugar free and have found I'm best not eating at all. But that in itself has a concequence!
Despite my specialists, this is what suits me best and they conceed, if it works for me do it.
It is all about trying to be comfortable for me. Ultimately with no cure and no chance of medical intervention they pretty well leave me to do my own thing, as long as I keep them in the loop. I always document what changes I make and the results I get, so it is tracable and beats me trying to remember what I have done.
Cheers

wooooahhh plastic butter?? I hope you're kidding! if you have all those health issues, you must stay off anything hydrogenated, especially 'vegetable' / canola oil!! it is deadly. I'm serious. Sorry about giving clear advice, but I've been studying nutrition for almost 30 years and my partner is a gut expert. he would say the same. we're both gluten and dairy free. Noooo canola. ever. that means no fried food

No bread. nothing glutenous.
No ham. This is carcinogenic and not good for your health
are you havin milk in your tea?
that will not be helping your IBS. at all.

Hi,
I'm well aware of this but that is all I'm able to tolerate, should I starve instead!
For the moment I prefer to stay alive, which isn't likely to be long at the rate ANS has grasped control. So what the hell, I may as well try and be comfortable until I decide I have had enough.
After 12 years of this under Gastro and dietry care they all agree with me. If I can tolerate it why not, there is no cure or medical help for ANS with IBS, CKD, T2, high cholesterol and blood pressure. Damned if I do and damned if I don't.
As I pointed out, if I was to be mindful of what I shouldn't eat for each disease there is nothing left to eat.
Despite agreeing with your thoughts, it is this very food that is keeping me alive for now.
Thanks but no thanks.
Cheers
