A member asked:
Can a ketogenic diet cause blood in stool? would this be because of all the protein one eats?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I do not thing so: It could lead to constipation which this may lead to bloody stool, kidney stones and in adults, common side effects include weight loss, constipation, raised cholesterol levels and, in women, menstrual irregularities including amenorrhoea.
