A keto diet could make you poop too frequently

That being said, a keto diet can make you poop too often and have you run after your meals. Keto diet requires you to get 80 percent of your calories from fat. Now if you are swearing on the ketogenic diet for weight loss, you can suffer from gastrointestinal issues like indigestion and frequent passing of stools. This is because high-fat foods especially saturated fats take longer for the stomach to process.

Watch out for floating poop

However, if your poop tends to smell and float it could be because you are not absorbing the fats well. Eating a lot of fatty foods can cause your stool to float.
