Well the switch from keto to carnivore happened naturally in my case. In that I naturally gravitated towards eating more meat and less veg, berries, nuts and dairy. This prompted me to search if there are people that do a meat only diet. It turns out there are lots and they seem to do very well! Mikhaila Peterson probably being one of the most famous to adapt carnviore.
I do still have small amounts of dairy in the form of cheese, cream and butter but I do note that I feel more satiated after a meal if it contained no dairy.
To answer your question, I do have suffer from an autoimmune disorder in the form of psoriasis. This is limited to redness and skin breakage around my face (under eyes and forehead). When I first made the switch to keto, there were massive improvements and flare ups became very rare but still occured occassionaly although nowhere near as severe.
Now that I follow a mostly carnivore diet, flare ups are almost non existent. They are completely manageable though which is why I have not yet cut out dairy entirely. If I had to guess, I would say it is the small amounts of dairy I consume that give me very slight reactions. I will soon try eliminating all dairy just for curiousity.
There is also a long term injury I have with my left knee. It causes me no issues currently but even consuming small amounts of carbohydrates in the form of veg or berries causes inflammation. I wouldn't classify it as severe inflammation but it's something I'd rather not endure if it can be avoided. It was most certainly severe inflammation when I consumed a moderate/high carb, high protein and low fat diet. The pain was so severe that I could not sit in comfort for more than 20 minutes. I would have to stand up after this amount of time. Going keto made took that knee inflammation from a pain rating of 9.5/10 to a 2/10. Carnivore reduced that inflammation further and it isn't something that bothers me anymore. Although to cure the problem I do leg/foot stretches along with foam rolling and specific strength training exercises like abduction drills, clams, eccentric squats on a slanted board and ankle band side walks.
Aside from curing ailments, I would say my general mood and well being is better on carnivore. It has also drastically simplified my eating habits so grocery shopping is very simple. Cooking is a breeze too. Currently doing OMAD because it suits my current schedule and I think some form of fasting is something we should all try to be incorporating. I will have one or two americanos in the morning with cream or unsalted butter and then my main meal around 6pm.
I will say too that my sister suffers from the very same autoimmune disorder psoriasis. She gets flare ups on her face but also her back. She also follows a vegan diet for maybe the past 8 months and I have never seen her skin so bad in my life. She was a pescotarian prior and her flare ups were still bad (worse than mine) but never anywhere close to this. Of course she is aware of my diet and thinks it is absurd and disgusting. We all have to make our own choices

Interesting your sister is doing the complete opposite, maybe you will convince her to go over to the dark side ;-) if a diet isn’t working she would be mad to continue with veganism. I sub to a few carnivores on Twitter, Dr Baker for example. I tried it for about a month but didn’t notice any bump in anything but that was from a base of low carb. I like my yogurt, eggs, cheese etc. though have made a point of cutting out/down on nuts almond flour or making low carb version of things. It certainly makes shopping easier , 1 or 2 isles and done.
Fasting is a great idea, I did more last year but this year decided to up my physical activity and didn’t do as much fasting but did various versions of time restricted eating. Decided to reboot the fasting this week as it happens, on day 3 and grand so far , most I ever did was 4 days in a row. I’ ll see what I want to do after, 1 day a week, 5 days once a qtr. Or something.
Do you stick most to beef? Or make a point of including organ meat?A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

If anyone is aware of Ivor Cummins (A Dubliner btw) , you will like this one, gets into some issues people might have on keto if not hitting weight loss goals. One for the headphones and go for a walk, at least you will have gone for a walk
Great conversation recently with Nick Paterson of https://lihfliving.com/ - "Low Inflammation, High Fat Living".
Not everyone will like one of the core points made - especially the one about some people having significant issues with eating dairy products...! But we must always openly discuss what may affect some people who are sensitive to certain foods - because they are the ones who will suffer, not everyone else...
