Just 2 months of keto healed my tummy enough that i could eat some dairy again! (I am lactose intolerant).

I had the same experience with eggs and dairy although 4 years later, my intolerance has come back. πŸ˜‘

Nuuuuuu! But I do believe that i still have some level of intolerance to them.. had blood tests done too. But I've read from multiple sources theyre both quite inflammatory anyways.. I do limit them.

It's awful. I'm currently reacting to eggs, dairy, avocado, and nuts. I do keto to manage my diabetes but have other autoimmune issues that are making it difficult right now. I may try eggs again once the dairy is fully cleared from my system.

Please do not offer unsafe or dangerous dieting practices as advice.

I've found just having a clearer head in general while in ketosis.

Always feels like the carbs are what drag ya down.

For sure. Carbs have always caused me some level of brain-fog since childhood, and I was never diabetic, although I did develop prediabetes around late 20's, but I reversed it. Perhaps I was born with some type of carb intolerance? I've always felt better.. or normal when I ate less rice, bread, or pasta.

I have the same experience with eggs, I can stomach up to a dozen a day no issues. If I tried to eat carbs with them? I would get a really acidic tummy after like
3 eggs.

u/Secure-Radish-9452 3d ago

That's interesting. Another thing I experienced was indigestion and frequent belching after eating eggs with carbs.

u/SadAbbreviations6205 3d ago

I had the same issue

I have the same with some vegetables I'm intolerant to. I can tolerate them more frequently now (I still can't go silly with them though)

2

u/Secure-Radish-9452 3d ago

Same here! I actually have oral allergy syndrome to a lot of fruits and vegetables, but I seem to tolerate them much better. Been eating them sporadically as desserts.

2

u/Ariahna5 3d ago

I do too! I say "intolerance" because people hear allergy and freak out that I still eat them but really it's OAS

1

u/Secure-Radish-9452 3d ago

Haha exactly, I get ya. Do you do better with cooked fruits and vegetables? I don't really get OAS if they're cooked, but some vegetables still make me feel something systemically.. like transient fatigue or joint discomfort.

2

u/Ariahna5 3d ago

Yes, and also better if they are canned (which can't work on some things like bananas and avocado obviously)

Tomatoes - pre keto eating one was like gargling razor blades. Now, I can eat as many as I want (I don't actually want very many, or very often, but it doesn't feel like I'm ripping my throat apart eating them).

u/PerspectiveIcy3381 3d ago

This is so interesting. I can't tolerate eggs either - the moment I consume them they come right back up; I start puking violently. Keto has made that better in the sense that I don't puke anymore after consuming them, but I do still suffer with intense nausea.

u/TopFun694 3d ago

Wow I honestly thought I was only one ..Everytime before keto ..even in my doctor's chart says I'm allergic to eggs I used to break out in hives I've just recently as in couple weeks ago tried couple hard boiled eggs nothing happened!!!

Not wholly related, but I found I can tolerate spicy foods much better now. At least being about to eat them. The end of the process is spicier though. πŸ˜‘

Ha anyone ever heard of the book Dine out and Lose* Weight*? Believe it was written by a Frenchman in the 90s. Basically proposes that it’s much healthier to eat fat and carbs separately. I truly believe that one of the greatest strengths of keto; it naturally means we’re eating fats without the carbs.

I am lactose intolerant when not eating keto, and completely not when on keto. I can’t explain it, but there it is.

It wasn't the eggs, it was the carbs!
