Sore Tonsils when entering Ketosis

[eric89]

Hi all,

I have been low carbing for a little while now with great results. Occasionally I have carbs. This Thanksgiving I skipped the bread but did partake in the mashed potatoes. So, the day after, I get back on the wagon and keep going low carb.

It seems that everytime I do this and then enter back into ketosis, one of my tonsils becomes very inflamed and sore and has alot of discharge. Has anyone else experienced this? I have never had tonsil trouble and they never bother me otherwise; just when I enter ketosis.

Thoughts?

Re: Sore Tonsils when entering Ketosis

How very strange and unpleasant... Never heard this before. How many times has it happened, and could it be coincidence, do you think? Does it last a long time?

I'm curious to see if anyone else has had a similar complaint.

You could say that it's a very good reason not to yo-yo between low carbing and not!
