Diet changes, fasting and low carb

Seven people said a carnivore diet helped: one improved a lot after a month but couldn't keep it up, another did keto for six months before moving to grass-fed beef and some seafood, and another said that after a year and a half their symptoms were about 90% better, though not gone.

Two people linked fasting to milder POIS symptoms, but detail is thin: no fasting window, length, water rules, or timing relative to ejaculation was given.

One person said they stay away from high-fat or thick foods because these make their symptoms many times worse. The entry also lists avoiding histamine-rich or histamine-releasing foods such as aged cheese, fermented foods and alcohol.

One person said they removed dairy and eggs from their diet and it seemed to have some beneficial effect, without saying what improved or for how long.

One person said that alongside a low-histamine diet they also avoid vitamin D supplements, as part of dealing with histamine intolerance, without saying what changed. Personal report only — check with a doctor before starting or stopping supplements.

One person said they currently eat only eggs, chicken and beef, drink water, and take a multivitamin plus zinc, and that it is helping; the zinc dose and what exactly improved were not given.

One person said a high-protein keto diet worked best for them and that adding raw meat meant they rarely have problems; they believe all their problems come from cooked food. Personal report only — consider asking a doctor before big diet changes, especially eating raw meat.

One person combined a low-carb (keto) diet, intermittent fasting and probiotics, and said a low-histamine diet, fasting and keto have really helped, without giving the fasting window or schedule. Personal report only — talk to a doctor about supplements or big diet changes.

One person said avoiding large amounts of carbohydrates and eating more, smaller portions is the key, with no further detail.

One person mentioned cutting refined sugar and refined carbohydrates from their diet and found it helpful, without giving details.

One person mentioned following a strict Paleo diet for two years and found it helpful, without details of what they ate or what changed.

One person said eating lots of gluten-free carbs lets them 'eliminate' their POIS symptoms. They didn't name specific symptoms or say how much or when.

One person said that when they're on a high-protein diet and then ejaculate, their symptoms are relatively light. They didn't say which symptoms.

One person said drinking an 'ungodly amount' of water when a flare-up starts helps. They didn't give a measured amount or say which symptom it helped.

Two people reported opposite results: one said a keto diet helped them too, while the other cut carbs to under 100 g a day and said their symptoms got worse. Neither named specific symptoms.

One person said they combine three things, one of which is a non-inflammatory diet: they avoid processed foods and grains almost completely and eat whole, unprocessed foods.

One person said that during flare-ups they eat lots of small meals through the day that include complex carbs, and that it helps them a little. They didn't say which foods or how much.

One person passed along that people say eating a raw carnivore diet reduces nocturnal emissions. It was secondhand, with no details on what to eat or for how long.

One person said the ketogenic diet is the only thing that has reduced their wet dreams, though it is very strict and hard to keep up. It's a single report.

In a discussion about symptoms after wet dreams, one person said eating a good chunk of red meat like beef definitely helps, because it is rich in zinc. They didn't say how much or how often.

One post described trying the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet: cutting grains, legumes, dairy, eggs, nuts, seeds, nightshades and processed foods, then slowly reintroducing them, and said symptoms improved slightly. No one else reported back.

Someone mentioned removing coffee from their diet to cut down POIS triggers. The post didn't say for how long, and no one reported a result.

Someone mentioned trying a prebiotic-rich diet but didn't say what they ate or for how long, and the outcome is unclear; no one reported a result.

Someone mentioned eating strictly animal foods only, with no plant foods at all, but did not say what changed, and no one else reported back.
