Antibiotics?

[Rafaella_F]

Hi all... I have a new question for you.
I started induction on tuesday, so this is my 4th day, even though I´m not in ketosis according to the strips I´m feeling much better, so I won´t complain about that and I´ve lost some pds (probably just water) anyway, I have an infection in my finger and on wednesday the dr prescribed me antibiotics, cloxaciline 500 mg one every 8 hrs (cloxacilina en chile.. I guess that´s the name in english) anyway, I wanna know if there´s a problem with me taking antibiotics and induction. Will the meds interfere with induction?

Shouldnt be much of a problem! always follow doctors orders when it comes to medication anyway!

Re: Antibiotics?

I asked bcause even though I had never done Atkins I had done other low carb diets and usually I was in ketosis by the 3rd day, and now it´s day 5 and still nothing according to the strips... so either Ipm doing something wrong or it´s just not showing.. thought it may be the antibiotics, now I know it´s not!

Tks 4 ur help

Re: Antibiotics?

Are you having any other symptoms of ketosis? bad breath, appetite supression, extreme thirst?

The sticks dont work for some people at all so not to be stressed...

If you think you are doing something wrong post a menu in the "review my menu" forum and let someone check it over for you.

Re: Antibiotics?

Mmm I´m with a little more energy, but nothing else.
The breath, nothing, probably bcause I feel the antibiotics smell everywhere, and maybe a little less appetite, but not much!
I´ll post my menu later, maybe someone can help me!

Re: Antibiotics?

I wouldn't worry about the antibiotics. It can cause slowing in weight loss or even a stall in some people butI was on anitbiotics from day 1 until day 14 and i still lost 14lbs. So you should be fine. just drink your water and eat your veggies

Shouldnt be much of a problem! always follow doctors orders when it comes to medication anyway!

For the most part thisi s true but if I had followed my Doctors orders 3 years ago (different than the one I have now) I would have overdosed and died. just thoughti'd share.
