stomach pains
for the last week or so i’ve been having very sharp stomach pains in the center of my stomach on and off. i am three months into keto and haven’t had any problems up until recently. i am wondering if it is a side effect of keto.. has anyone had any problems with stomach pains ok keto ?

Hi - are you eating anything new lately, something that’s not a whole food? Maybe something like Atkins or slim fast snacks, bars or powders? Alcohol sugars and some fibers cause digestion upset and gas. Try only Whole Foods for a few days and see if that fixes your stomach ache if not you may have something more serious going on and you might need to see a doctor.

Yes. I had a very serious problem but it was not with the diet itself. I had issues that required my body to need more fiber than I was eating. I don’t want to alarm you but you should see a doctor. Get some blood work done.

I was having sharp stomach pain too. I thought it was coffee for the longest time. I decided to go dairy free for other reasons, and my stomach pain stopped! I never thought I could give up dairy because I love cheese, but I’ve gotten used to it.

Morgan this could have been it i was eating a lot of keto snacks and i stopped the stomach pain went away! thank you!

I take pantoprazole for stomach acid, which works very well.
That said, I had sharp gut pains about a month ago and ultimately hit the ER because things were hurting in there no matter what I ate or drank (even plain, room-temperature water).
They couldn't find out what was causing the gut pain but they DID find an ovarian tumor when they did the CT scan.
At that point, the gut pain went away. So very weird. -
If you have been eating any Keto slim fast drinks or bars you may need to stop that. I was reading and Keto slim fast was making everyone’s stomach hurt.. my husband bought some today and he was in the bathroom for hours also had terrible pain in stomach few minutes after drinking one of their shakes!
