I'm doing a month of keto to help weed,seed then feed the gut again. When there's bacterial overgrowth, which can be established either from tests or symptoms. (I did a test last year which determined a dysbiosis of gut bacteria) I've found that with a lot of my patients (mind you none of them are bodybuilders-just gen pop) removing all carbs, which are the primary food source for bacteria, starving out all the bacteria (good and bad) while simultaneously planting seeds of good bacteria is the best option to re-establish a healthy microbiome. Hopefully all inflamation will go down, the gut wall will be repaired and nutrient partitioning will be optimized. It'll be taking one step backwards and 2 forward in terms of muscle building.
Realistically at this stage, trying to keep pushing carbs is useless because my gi tract isn't absorbing them and I'm feeling that even small amounts are causing issues (fermentation and gas)
I have no idea what the cause could be though
it's just frustrating!! I didn't address the issue properly last year and now I'm paying for it again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
