A ketogenic diet promotes tumour growth in the small intestine in susceptible mice. In people, diet advice might need to be tailored to individual cancer risks.

    Well, for me it was about 42 years, till I was bleeding out my ass all the time.
    You know, some of us are hard to convince.
    I’m cured, but I’ll require regular colonoscopies for the rest of my life.

    I’ll see you at the butt doctor when it hits you too. Or … you could act sensibly. Now.

      If we’re doing n=1 anecdotes, removing fibre from my diet cured my constipation.

            No. Xep is in a different timezone than me and doesn’t have as good English. All my accounts are named psud or pseudopsud. I have three accounts as I have had bad luck with instances.

            I try not to post or comment under my other logins - when Aussie.zone is down I just read, otherwise I’d get replies I wouldn’t see for months

      That’s pretty funny, I know it’s not true though as a no fibre diet for that long has to be very high fat and I’ve read a lot about low fibre high fat diets that I know that make shitting easy

        Shitting was not a problem. Shitting blood was the issue.
        Your gut bugs need fiber to eat. Or they will eventually eat you.
        You cannot maintain a healthy microbiome without fiber.
        The older you get, the less your guts can tolerate the type of self-abuse you are pushing here.
        Additionally, fiber consumption has a dramatic impact on cholesterol processing. That’s actually what finally brought me to the table for a balanced meal.

          Ah, your story was trying to build up to “fibre is vital” the only studies of fibre on constipation and straining on the toilet showed fibre increased both, reducing fibre improved both, eliminating fibre completely fixed both

          The comparison that one made was “adding fibre to improve constipation is like adding cars to improve traffic”

            Ya, that’s never been a problem for me. I think the ‘bad thing’ was dental infections and a bunch of antibiotics. That threw my shitter out of kilter and made me understand you have to manage your gut like a garden. When you see that bright red blood in the bowl, you realize change is in order and start listening to doctors instead of diet fads and ‘your own research’.
