I sort of thought that everyone experienced that.
I don't think that's what should happen lol
But that's what eating red meat does. There's no fiber so there's nothing for your muscles to push against.
Carnivores have normal, regular, and unremarkable poops.
Red Meat is almost totally absorbed in the stomach. If there is a issue with bloating or nausea there may be a gall bladder or bile issue that a doctor may be able to help with (perhaps prescribing ox bile).
I don't have a gallbladder anymore.
If you want to improve your ability to process fatty meat, I can find the literature on the upregulating protocol for stomach bile production. It is possible. Not sure if it is important for your diet goals.
I appreciate the offer, but I'm doing pretty well digestion-wise. I finally found a good diet that I am sticking to without too much trouble
