Nicklas healed his back pain on a carnivore diet

Share This Post

Niklas lives in Sweden and uses the carnivore diet to heal his body from debilitating back pain. At the young age of nineteen, Niklas began experiencing some minor pain in his lower back. He says, “at first, I thought it was just something that would go away.” He didn’t think the pain would be something he would need to worry about at the time and continued on with his life. However, the pain continued for several years. It became so terrible and debilitating that Nicklas struggled to get out of bed some days.


At the age of twenty-three, Niklas was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). AS is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the spine and is also considered a rare form of arthritis. Infections, heavy physical work, stress, and pregnancy can trigger it. The condition is excruciating because it causes inflammation in the joints and tissues of the spine, making it feel stiff and difficult to move. Many people who are diagnosed with AS spend their lives in agonizing pain.


Niklas’ AS pain continued, and he “ate painkillers and anti-inflammatory medications every day.” All of Niklas’ medications did help to some degree at first, but the pain was always lingering in the background and still very much a part of his life. Around the time Niklas turned twenty-seven, the medications he had been taking ceased to work, and he found himself once again in excruciating pain.


His medical providers tried to combat the symptoms of his pain with new medications and weekly injections of a protein blocker to reduce inflammation. Again, the medical interventions and medications worked for a while and then stopped working. Niklas’ pain slowly began to return until it became a full force again.


Niklas says, “ I had almost given up on trying to get well.” Nicklas was about the except pain as a part of his ever day life. However, he decided to take his health into his own hands and began researching to find an alternative root to healing. It was in his research he found advocates of the carnivore diet. Niklas says he began to realize that the carnivore way of eating was healing all types of chronic diseases, and he knew he needed to try it for himself.


Nick first began his carnivore journey in January of this past year. Niklas was shocked by how quickly he started to see results. Within two weeks of following the carnivore way of eating, Niklas no longer had to receive weekly shots for his inflammation. One week after that, he quit taking anti-inflammatory medications altogether. After years of “eating” pain medications, Niklas was finally free.


Niklas is now five months into his carnivore journey. He says not only has he been able to remove all pain medications, but he has also lost fifty pounds in the process. Niklas says he no longer experiences back pain since he has become a carnivore diet follower. After years of debilitating pain, he says, “this is the best I’ve ever felt in my entire adult life.”
