Digestive issues are among the most discussed early hurdles in the community, and the consistent theme is that most resolve as the gut adapts over the first few weeks. Members point to fat intake, electrolytes, and dropping dairy as the main levers.

  • Most members report digestive issues easing within the first 3–4 weeks as bile and stomach acid adapt

  • Adequate salt and electrolytes are repeatedly linked to smoother digestion
