Re: tylenol and other meds

The active ingredients in those meds= no. If in a gummy, chewable, or syrup form= maybe. Yogurt, allowed on dairy rung, = possibly. However, your strips could simply have been used in urine more diluted than normal, and you could be easily retaining pounds of water weight if it is close to your TOM.

Keep the faith!

Don't start over just drink alot of water to flush and then move on. My guess would be the yogurt. If you want to try it again later to see for sure if it is the culprit then do it again in about a week or so.

I don't think the meds could knock you out of ketosis, but the ibuprofen can cause water retention. Although if you need it take it, just be aware that it may cause a temporary gain on the scale.

Re: tylenol and other meds

This is a concern of mine, too, since I take different pain relievers and all. I worry they're affecting me but going without them right now isn't something I can do yet.
