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.

My wife breaks out in keto rash a few days into strict carnivore diet. Any idea how to treat / manage without breaking ketosis? @WhyCarnivore.com

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
