Can Keto causes FLARES?

I was in deep keto for a year before I had the worst flare of my life. It lasted long enough for me to lose my colon and rectum... so take it for what it is worth 😌

Hi Lorena - Here are a couple of references to possible issues with a keto diet.

I tried a keto diet for a short period of time but just switched to lowering my carbs and trying to eat a little healthier. What type of flares are you having?

I did Keto for a month and the very first time I veered from it just a little, within three hours I was in the ER. Just my experience. But this is such an individualized disease, it’s hard to say for 100% I wasn’t triggered by something else. In general, now, I’m inclined to stay away from special diets and just go by my gut— pun absolutely intended.

Thanks for sharing. I have still disease and take ilaris canakinumab once a month. I was reading the Standford metabolic psychiatry and through it will reverse my insuline resistance, fatty liver and help to stabilize mood and maybe get down my crp. I went to a nutritionist and she things I should not get down my carbs to 50 mg. Eventhough i try low carb and started to feel brain fog and lethargic, sleepy. It’s been 4 years since i stop sugar and refine carbs and processed food, 2 years since i stop grains and Diary. I think i am ready to have less carbs but my mind suffer so much. Instead of taking electrocites i took a big cooked plantain recipe and some rice and was leveled (could sleep and think). I will try with another nutritionist (functional endocrinologist) to understand whats goong on hopefully she Can manage thyroid, crp and work more deeply to find the reason of my Poor metabolic flexibility. I dont Want to go the ozempic way

Did you stop your immunosupressant tí be in keto?

No, I didn’t. I wanted to do just a short keto regimen to see how no/low sugar affected me as I also have high blood sugar. I also was not on infusion meds yet; I took Mesalamine.

We started taking MCT oil for brain fog & it helped…..we put it in our tea or coffee & can be added to your food etc. You would be using fats for your energy instead of carbs…. Look up MCT oil on YouTube. It’s also good for Alzheimer’s patients! Check out Dr Mary Newport on MCT oil & what it did for her husband….

Yes thats the problem sito keto bc you Can get put of ketodis for different unpredictsble reasons (like jet lag or a mínimums shift in routine or less sleep) and the crash os terrible you feel worst thsn cron base line. Si it’s thricky

I went today to an appointment with a diabetologist she was amazing even Ive read all the mes books, Harvard md books podcast and more during years I started to understand and Connect the dots About the lifestyle to reverse insuline resistant without falling in a category (keto, paleo, low carb etc) I’ll start working with her and a psychologist to improve Life quality by reversión insuline resistance and lowering systemic inflammation. I felt today as if i went to a class and need to put in practice:)

So, correct me if i understand you need you be following the keto lifestyle or low carb to use MCT. It’s not good idea to use it if someone is eating standard % carbs
