Hello doctor, I had been on keto (low carb diet) for a period of 2 weeks and my food choices were mostly limited to (chicken, eggs, mushroom, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, buttermilk, sea food). In a week or so, I starting experiencing stomach cramps. It usually started as a discomfort after I had my meal and advanced with time. The pain became intense at night that i'd have to curl up and lie in my bed. And the next morning it's fine, until I have my first meal of the day. I've been experiencing these cramps on a day to day basis. Due to the same reason I stopped keto and switched to normal diet. Kindly advice.

Keto diet should be used in guidance of qualified dietitian under constant supervision. Everyone has a different body type. Maybe these food types create allergies to your body. Eat a balanced diet so that you can lose weight in a healthy way without harming the body.
