Has anyone had any tummy issues on Keto? Was following Keto, all was going well and losing weight until I had to get emergency surgery to have my appendix out... wondering if anyone has had something similar happen? Any thing to do with Keto or just coincidence?!

    That's a question for your doctor, but if i remember correctly, one risk factor for appendicitis is constipation (which keto can cause). Does that apply to you?

    Why does it matter? You've had your appendix out and it's not going to grow back so you don't need to worry about a relapse.
    My question was regarding health issues, had anyone similar experiences while on Keto...

    I didn’t think I was but not as regular pre Keto so could have defo been a contributing factor!
