Keto Diarrhoea: What Causes This Condition While Following Keto Diet?
The ketogenic diet, which is popularly known as the keto diet, created quite a stir when it became a health trend but a new issue linked to it has popped up which is called the keto diarrhoea.
Keto diet is a high-fat low-carb diet which also includes protein in it. This diet helps you in gaining more calories with fats and the proteins instead of carbs. This diet comprises 75 per cent of fat, 20 per cent of proteins and 5 per cent of carbs.
It triggers the metabolic process of ketosis which makes your body lose its store of sugar, and utilise the fats and proteins stored by it to get energy.
Benefits Of Keto Diet
The keto diet is known to benefit people by:
- Triggering weight loss
- Boosting heart health
- Improving brain function
- Depleting seizures in people suffering from epilepsy
- Reducing acne
- Lowering cancer risk
But it has been found that many dieters suffered from keto diarrhoea after switching to this diet.

What Is Keto Diarrhoea?
When
we
switch
to
a
different
diet
and
stop
eating
certain
foods,
it
triggers
a
kind
of
imbalance
in
our
body.
"Our
gut
microbiome
feeds
off
short
chain
fatty
acids
found
in
grains,
fruits,
and
vegetables,
which
are
limited
on
the
keto
diet,"
said
a
licensed
nutritionist
Callie
Exas,
as
quoted
by
Healthline.
Due
to
this,
some
of
the
people
who
newly
start
following
the
keto
diet
suffer
from
fatigue
and
nausea
while
others
experience
stomach-related
issues
until
they
unfollow
the
diet.
As
we
know
the
keto
diet
majorly
comprises
of
fat,
it
becomes
difficult
for
the
body
to
absorb
and
metabolize
so
much
lipids
at
a
stretch
and
some
of
it
remains
unabsorbed.
When
the
excess
fat
travels
into
the
small
intestine
and
colon,
the
body
pulls
in
more
water,
making
the
stool
liquidy.
As keto diet includes less amount of carbs in it, the ones following the diet switch to artificial sweeteners like xylitol, sorbitol and maltitol to lower their calorie intake. During digestion, these non-nutritive sugars don't get absorbed effectively in our gut and it ends up reaching the large intestine in an undigested form, causing a laxative effect and ultimately resulting in diarrhoea.
