<p>I started Paleo almost a month ago, and have been having diarrhea every day for about 3 weeks. I have no other problems (no stomach pains or nausea) with it, and am never actually running to the bathroom, just when I go, I have diarrhea. I've heard that this happens to some people because of the high amounts of fat in the Paleo diet, and also that some people's bodies do this as a way of adjusting to the new diet and "healing" itself. Any thoughts or advice on this? Thanks!</p>

<p>No help for you, but I'm having the same problem. Strength in numbers!</p>

<p>SIBO?</p> <p>Usually SIBO gets better when you go Paleo, but I've been battling SIBO since before Paleo and now that I've cut out grains and sugars, I'm also confused why I'm still battling it.</p>

<p>It's hard to say without knowing what a typical day of eating looks like for you.</p> <p>It could be too much fat. It could also be too much magnesium. Are you taking any natural calm? Drinking a lot of alcohol?</p> <p>My poop is pretty much perfect unless I have a lot of coconut milk or grain exposure (including rice &amp; corn). My gf has had some problems when she increased her fat intake yet I do fine on large amounts of animal fat and moderate amounts of coconut. </p>

<p>That happened to me the first couple months as well, so your body just may need to adjust. However, around the same time I switched completely to naturally-raised meats it stopped completely, so a hypothesis may be that the fat stores of grain/poorly-fed meat eaten in too-high an amount may cause diarrhea?</p>

<p>I am having the same problem! I am only on my 4th day, but am feeling discouraged about continuing because of weird diarrhea poop. My typical diet over the last 4 days has been:</p> <ul> <li>Breakfast: 2 eggs with mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes; black coffee; maybe cantalope or a peach</li> <li>Lunch: Salad with lean meat (chicken breast, pork tenderloin, tuna) and homemade oil and vinegar dressing</li> <li>Dinner: Lean meat with assorted vegetables (grilled chicken, grilled salmon, grilled pork tenderloin, etc.) </li> <li>Snack: almonds, raw veggies, some fruit Drinking water all day long, with lemon or lime, with the morning black coffee and the occasional hot tea Advice appreciated!!! Have never had any problems with this - am wondering if I should add back in a morning bowl of oatmeal? Was hoping to go a full 30 days, but don't want to mess up my system where I've never had problems. Help!</li> </ul>

<p>If you eat alot of nuts (as many paleoists do) that might be the reason. Many people are sensitive (allergic) to nuts (or certain kinds of nuts)</p>
