today i want to talk about keto desserts or keto
snacks which i never recommend except at the end of a meal and gut issues now the short version is
you do not want to consume keto desserts or snacks if you have gut issues so you don't want any of
these ingredients okay but let me explain why because the keto bombs cakes cookies or
if you're going to do waffles or pancakes all contain certain ingredients that will just add
to the inflammation in your gut i'm talking about if you have irritable bowel syndrome or ulcerative
colitis or diverticulitis or crohn's or celiac or any inflammation your colon you want to stay
away from these ingredients so let's go through the ingredients so starting with sugar alcohols
you have erythritol with stevia or you have erythritol with monk fruit now if you don't
have a gut issue this would be a good option second option would be xylitol now if we compare
xylitol with erythritol this is better because erythritol is 30 on the glycemic index now if
you're having very small amounts it's not going to be that big of a deal i personally consume
a little xylitol in my coffee every day it's one small packet extremely small doesn't affect
my blood sugars at all but this should be zero but if you have a gut issue i don't recommend it
maltitol is one of the worst sugar alcohols it'll really tear up your gut and it's pretty high
on the glycemic index and then you have this thing called imo isomaltooligosaccharides
another name for that is vita fiber now i did a video a long time ago recommending this
until i found some interest in your research on it and now i do not recommend it because it
can definitely increase your blood sugars big time it's usually in the syrup so you can make all
sorts of amazing things and it gives great texture for all sorts of keto desserts and it's very sweet
but in reality it's not keto friendly that's why it tastes so great all right the other things
you need to avoid are the flour alternatives so when you do keto you're no longer doing grains
like wheat flour so you do almond flour coconut flour chia seed flour chickpea flour or hazelnut
flour these will tear up your gut you want to avoid these as well and then we get to vegetable
fats now most vegetable fats are high in omega-6 it's going to create more inflammation like
safflower oil sunflower oil especially corn and soy you're going to see these in restaurant
food so if you go out to dinner a lot regardless of whether you order keto or not a lot
of times they're going to fry the food or cook the food in these two oils and you may wonder why your
stomach is inflamed that is why now coconut oil is a plant fat and it is not that great if you have
severe gut issues so you can test it out might be okay but it may not be good for you and of
course nuts and seeds you want to avoid those because if you have a gut issue it can really
create an inflammatory process because these are very high in omega-6 fats so the worse the gut
issue the more you need to do carnivore which is keto but without all this other stuff you're
pretty much just doing animal fat and protein maybe a little bit of fermented vegetables but if
your gut is very very severe even those might be a problem but if it's a moderate problem you could
pretty much handle a small amount of fermented vegetables now let's say for example your
gut is inflamed or you have this autoimmune condition which always stems from the gut you
want to do this ratio two to one fat to protein but mainly stick with animal fats and animal
proteins so you'd want to do carnivore without plant fats like you wouldn't want to do
with coconut oil or even avocados and because there's a lot of inflammation in your gut you
don't even want to do any type of dairy whatsoever that includes cream butter a small amount of ghee
might be okay because ghee actually filters out some of the solids some of the potential proteins
like casein that you might be sensitive to and with gut issues some people are
sensitive to eggs as well so unfortunately you're very restrictive but if you
only consume very very fatty uh meats on a keto and i'm not just talking about
using meat i'm talking about organ meats as well fatty sausage to fatty fish would be a very very
good thing to help heal your gut issues so you would do that for a period of time and then you'd
want to slowly ease into the fermented vegetables but you probably are not going to be able to
tolerate these keto desserts and so-called keto friendly snacks if you have a history of
gut issues all right guys for a little more information on this i put a video down below check
it out before you go if you have a question about a product or you're new to keto and you want to
know how to begin keto or you're on keto and you need a debug because it's not going as smooth i
