Good luck. I never said you shouldn't consume fat. I just don't think it's wise to concentrate on saturated fats. But, as you said, a conversation for another time. The comment that caught my eye was this one: How good can that be? And what might it be saying about your gut microbiome?
Here in Canada, I get mine in cartons in the refrigerated dairy case at the supermarket. They have everything from skim (my choice) to whole. No added ingredients.
I started using a little milk in my coffee or tea recently, lactose free to see if that helped, and my knees are suffering from inflammation again. I guess it is an antigen protein my immune system reacts to. Back to making my own almond and cashew milk which is not difficult but got boring.
. Every indication that I've seen regarding the ketovore/carnivore diet is that it resets the gut and helps absorb a very high percentage of the vitamins, minerals, etc. in the extremely nutrient dense world of ruminant meat. In the past due to the eat-anything philosophy my system ─ by necessity ─ was used to all kinds of food, sugars, carbs, seed oils, dairy, plant roughage, etc. After about 1½ years of a radically clean diet eating none, or very minimal, of the above items I assume my digestive tract doesn't exactly know how to handle those "foreign" items and hence the short-lived ache. So I'm not real concerned about my gut microbiome as I trust it is doing its job and letting me know what works and what doesn't.
Carnivore diets might not be as healthy for your digestion as you think they are. https://www.mygenefood.com/blog/why...-try-instead/#6_carnivore_diet_and_gut_health
A few years ago, I was frequenting a local coffee shop nearly daily for a flat white coffee (milk coffee). Anyhow I developed this intense back ache and around my kidney area which after several weeks associated it with the morning coffee. I couldn't stand up straight, so bad was it. One day I saw the people in the coffee shop carting milk to their shop in a supermarket trolley and the milk was a house brand milk (budget milk) from the budget supermarket nearby. I stopped going to that coffee shop, back ache disappeared. Now my brother came and stayed with me for several weeks while this was going on and he was unaffected. Anyhow later on I went back to the coffee shop to try again and sure enough, back ache returned. The point, it's possible some milk brands can affect you. It could also be the coffee shop machine is not sterilized correctly.
Did you visit a doctor to discuss those symptoms? It sounds like something worth checking out to be sure it's not an underlying issue or sensitivity.
Oh, fantastic! Let's guzzle down some ultra-processed high-protein milk. After all, who doesn't love contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, and plastic waste while pretending to be healthy?
