Strange stool while trying to get into keto?

Hey, y'all!

So I'm on day two of (attempting. Curse those tasty carbs) my keto diet, and I just went to the bathroom, and almost declared it a superfund site because of the stench and sludge that came out of me. Is this a side effect of the diet? Or am I doing something wrong?

    It takes a while for the bacteria within your stomach to adjust to the changes. Make sure you stay hydrated and get a decent amount of fiber. (And your electrolytes!) Also, there is a keto group on here, and I'd highly recommend the one on reddit if you want a more specialized place to ask questions.

    You do not want to post these questions on the main boards! Look for the keto groups!
