I’m on day 5 of keto and I’m curious as to when the diarrhea stops. I have to go to work in the morning and I’m tempted to consume a bunch of cheese and bread so I don’t destroy the office bathroom.

The keto bros will shun me, but take some soluable fiber. Will save you. Hang in there. It took me about 6 months to fully adjust.

I don't do "keto", but I stay away from carbs, averaging 20-30 grams of carbs a day. I always have loose BMs. However, I do not mind them that much, because they are pretty regular (time wise) and its easy wiping.

I can’t advise enough to make the change gradually. Start with equal macros for 4wks, then lower carbs and increase fats every 2wks until you are in that Keto range.

Why the rush?

I always eat oat bran mixed with a little bit of 5% fat no flavor yogurt.

Might not be keto but it saves my bowels every-time im in keto

I'm at keto 10 months now. The shits only lasted a week or so.

You know what's weird is that I'm on keto and only get diarrhea when I have cheat days.

That first "bad" meal really fricks my shite up. But while on keto, my poops been pretty minimal honestly.

It can also be from eating a lot of sugar alcohols, are you eating a lot of artificially sweetened things?

Same here. As long as I stick to my normal routine of fewer than 20g carbs a day, I consistently have type 4 poops. I had all kinds of poop types (and symptoms of IBS) before when I was on Standard American Diet (which is to be expected).

My wife and I are very strict during the week but sometimes have a cheat meal on weekends... I had a burger and fries from Five Guys along with a couple Michelob Ultras on Sunday night. Monday morning I totally fricked up the toilet. Then right back to normal poops.
