Constipation on Keto

Anyone have constipation issues while on the Keto diet? I just started the diet a week ago and have been constipated and find out this is a side effect. Has anyone else come across this?

I have definitely seen a decrease in the number of bowel movements that I have, however, I do NOT feel bloated/blocked/uncomfortable, I feel fine. I had a 50 lbs weight loss in about 1.5 months. 210 down to 160, 38 inch waist to 32 inches. I am 6 feet tall. Lab work is all good, it seems counterintuitive but cholesterol dropped significantly.

Some of my friends use Metamucil while on Keto. I'd certainly suggest quikie enemas to assure regular BM's knowing that constipation is likely.

No. I'm doing carnivore (prob. Temporarily, keto next), & if anything I have to stay close to a bathroom. If you don't go for several days take (or have someone give you) a thorough enema (i.e, fill your colon). I got "stopped up" in early 2023, nothing worked, wound up having to have some pretty disgusting surgeries, still recovering because I had a bowel rupture. I will never let that happen again. I don't mind enemas at all, but I hadn't done any for a while--in my case, too long...so what I think happened is that I had quite a few diverticuli and my colon ruptured through one or more of those. Lesson learned, because I did almost die.
