Some people are gonna need some carbs. Why does that surprise people? The only thing I can think of is that her gut biome is so out of whack that it can't handle the fat and protein load so suddenly. Is she jumping in or reducing her carbs gradually? Does she or her family have a history of gall bladder issues?

No issues with her gall bladder. She really wants to eat pure carnivore but each time it has happened to her, she has had to reintroduce carbs. It just keeps us both from going full carnivore for a long period of time, mostly because of convenience. Looking for advice of how we can simplify the diet to increase the duration.

Glucose is the body's preferred source of energy. Fat is the backup energy source. Why purposefully deprived the body from its primary source of energy?

Wrong: no, nobody needs carbs. They are poisonous to all humans Correct: removing them too quickly can lead to intense oxalate-dumping, as the body detoxes. This doesn't mean they NEED carbs though, just means they need to be removed more gradually for some than others

Textbook oxalate-dumping. Here are some resources to learn more - basically her body is flushing out all those plant toxins it's accumulated. A great sign! If the symptoms get too bad, some people temporarily reintroduce small amounts of oxalate-holding plants (berries, dark chocolate, spinach, etc.) during that dumping period to smooth out the detox process. https://whycarnivore.com/#OxalateDumping View quoted note →
