cough syrup, ketosis setback?

[BeanPole]

I thought that I was getting a really bad case of the induction flu, but now I think I just have the flu. I'm running a fever, my throat is swollen and sore, my muscles are achy, and I've been sleeping nonstop. My mom stopped by with some Tylenol Flu stuff and I was wondering if I should be worried about it knocking me out of ketosis? I haven't had much of an appitite and with my throat being swollen, I haven't felt like eating anything at all today.

Try to get a sugar free cold medication - they usually have them for Diabetics.

I am not sure if all of these are necessarily induction friendly, but these meds are the ones the ADA recommend for diabetics that won't raise your blood sugar. Hope this helps!

What about Nyquil liqui-caps, or any other could & cough med in pill form?

Hope you're feeling better!

People are always worrying about falling out of ketosis. Do you know how hard it is to actually do it?

A couple of teaspoons of cough syrup won't do it. Heck, two pieces of cake doesn't always do it.

Just get yourself the sugar-free from now on.
