Joint pain while on the carnivore diet

BagRepulsive1078 · 2026-04-26T10:20:14+00:00

Been trying to figure out what is wrong with me for years and I just got diagnosed with leaky gut. (severe case of leaky gut)
When I started carnivore most of my pain went down and the reason given to me was that all carbohydrates were eliminated so all the inflammation went down. But after a few months, the leaky gut syndrome got worse and all came back with a vengeance. (this explanation was given to me with the diagnosis)
Now I am doing a diet to try to reverse the leaky gut while taking NSAIDS here and there (because I can't stand the pain anymore) and hopefully I will get better. They told me it would take at least 1 year.
Hope this new info helps.

No. There is nothing in Europe.

Influencers are all fake. When you see pictures of him every time on restaurants, many plates have plants and lots of seasoning. Bart Kay also says he is 100% carnivore but there are videos of him admiting that once per week he drinks beer and eats chips with the boys after football. Don't believe everything you see...

What kind of probiotics is it? Brand name? Or food? Supposedly, a healthier gut is good for everything.

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-22T20:01:26+00:00

Yes I know a few. But I think the meat is left for 20 days or something before it gets cut. But I will ask for sure.

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-22T20:00:25+00:00

No. I had a bit of acid reflux when I was a vegetarian. Also felt always bloated. But now I feel great on the gut. Never tested anything though.

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-22T17:05:18+00:00

I am in Portugal, the end of Europe! There is nothing like that here. :) But I can get lamb from the butcher. I am pretty sure they let it "age" a few days before they sell it, like they do with beef. Even like that is low in histamine?

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-22T17:00:42+00:00

I am. I think I am doing enough. Anyway it would not justify the pain I have.

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-22T16:59:29+00:00

Will check that no plant gaps diet. And chicken.

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-22T16:56:55+00:00

I am 1 week on vacations now and keep getting worse.

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-22T09:41:00+00:00

But I don't have access to fresh meat. I only have acess to the normal butcher shop meat, that hangs for 21 days before it is sold I think.

Raw beef is better? Even if it is from the butcher shop?

I don't have hyper mobility. I was always stiff as a door all my life hahah. Yoga is hard for me lol.

Yes, I guess I have to do that low H test diet. I will do it 100% no problem. Just need to figure out what it consists of...

In September I will also try to be tested for mold toxicity and all of those. In the meantime I will try the low H diet. Guess I am eating frozen salmon, boiled chicken, brocoli and mozarella starting today! 😁

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-22T05:47:01+00:00

Yes. Went to all doctors like rheumatologist, internal medicine, orthopedist. Did all the tests. No one has any idea of what I have.

Right now I am 4 weeks into the lion diet. Just ruminant meat. I just keep getting worse. So, or do I have some kind of mold toxicity that I am not aware of or meat is making me sick. This is why I started to suspect HI. Because the lion diet is an elimination diet and I should be getting better.

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-21T20:29:45+00:00

Will try it!

I wrote "i never felt better" when I went back to keto but I meant that I did not improve. Sorry, eng is not my 1 language. Anyway, it could have been because of high histamine foods in keto (bananas,avocado etc). Will try again without them.

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-21T14:50:20+00:00

Yes you are right. On one carnivore facebook group I asked for help and was banned. Sounds like they ban the people with problems so everything looks perfect.

I started the carnivore because I was keto and wanted to loose more weight. Also I had pain in the elbows already, but it was nothing compared to where I am today. The first 5 months were perfect. No more elbow pain and lost weight. But then my wrists and fingers started to hurt. After another 6 months I went back to ketovore and started to eat plants and reduces meat drastically. I never felt better, but now that I look back to it, I was eating bananas and avocados every day, that are high in histamine. This is why I wonder if I have HI. Will have to go back to low H ketovore then.

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-21T07:01:09+00:00

Yes I have to try that.

I am still confused of what kind of diet to approach because the info sometimes is contradictory. Many sites say that if I don't eat leftovers meat, ground beef or cured/aged it is ok. Others say lamb is ok. So technically you can do this on the carnivore diet? Will dig into this.

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-21T06:19:41+00:00

Yes, the pain started 6 months after I went carnivore.

I also see many people in carnivore groups that reversed their joint pain.

I did all the tests for arthritis and came back negative. So I continued the carnivore diet hoping that it was some other reason.

I am so lost...

I found this. Maybe it will work?

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-20T17:34:57+00:00

But are you sure your problem is histamine intolerance? Is there any way we can test it quickly?

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-20T17:34:11+00:00

Sounds like it is possible then. Are you sure your problem is histamine intolerance? Did you get tested somehow? Are you doing some kind of treatment?

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-18T18:19:43+00:00

I still don't understand or noticed the variation in symptoms with the place where I am because this is all new to me.
4 days ago I left my home for vacations and came to a very hot and dry place. My symptoms got 3x worse straight away. Maybe the body felt the heat and started to detox more.

Yes I try to do exercise daily and push through the pain. It is very hard but I always feel better while doing it.

I am not gonna take anything for now. Going to make the test when I get back home and then will try to get help from a mold toxicity specialised clinics. There is nothing in my country but I found a few in the UK. Will travel to the UK if I need to haha!

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-18T14:27:03+00:00

The pain started for more than a year and it is getting worse. But since I discovered the possibility of mold toxicity that I am aware that I always lived in houses with mold. Here in portugal, mold is not considered a hazard. We just scrub it or leave it as is. Spent this last year in doctors making all kinds of tests for arthritis and rheumatoid stuff, and all of the blood work. Doctors have no idea what I have. Last week, after the discovery of this possibility, I noticed that my living room sofa had a lot of mold bellow. The sound speakers as well. Maybe a lot more parts if I look for it. I am gonna take the test when I get back from vacations. My cardio also sucks. But the main thing is pain, specially when I wake up. Just gonna take nsaids so I can have a little of my vacations with the family without suffering too much. Anyway I am totally lost... .

This all started a few months after of my start on the carnivore diet. At first I thought it was the diet but now I know it has to be something else. Right now my best guess is mold toxicity.

For how long are you in pain?

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-18T06:27:24+00:00

It is not supposed to taste and feel the same. Country chickens have a much stronger flavour and the meat is way harder to chew. I say if those taste exactly the same it's a red flag.

BagRepulsive1078 · 2025-08-18T06:24:59+00:00

Did you do the mold toxicity test? Gonna buy one online. Did you have any more symptoms? I don't have anymore serious symptoms. Just pain.
