Yes, for me as well. I would say, if you are doing Keto, watch your Omega 3/6 balance. My brother did it for a year and focused on mainly red meats. He lost a bunch of weight but the inflammation from the Omega 6 is what probably caused his ankylosing spondylitis and triple bypass.
I quickly became manic when I only eat red meat.

How confident are you that this is the case? This is now the second story I've read of someone on a keto/carnivore diet having to get a triple bypass after eating too much red meat. Was his omega-3/omega-6 ratio really that much worse than that of the average person not on such a diet (not that that's a great standard to compare against, but the average person is also not getting triple bypass surgery)?
I know there's a lot of evidence against the notion that saturated fats cause CVD, and omega-6s and inflammation is a compelling case, but I'm worried we're missing something.

You know that's actually really good advice. That is something I should be more mindful of. Thank you

Interesting, why do you think carbs are a trigger for you? I always have bad IBS symptoms when the other symptoms flare up but I haven't been able to find any foods that seem to directly correlate with it.

I don't think, I know. After a lot of trail and error it's a night and day difference.
Intermittent fast and eat very low carb – no stomach problems. Eat too many carbs more than ~25-35 – stomach problems.
For me, the trigger is carbohydrates. Doesn't make having a good social life easy. I'm on a forced ketogenic diet because of it.
