I thought I knew all ketosis safe stuff but noticed sns allow gherkins and olives, so would pickled cabbage and vinegar be ok? I'm unsure about acid it does something to digestion doesn't it? Or is citric acid not allowed for specific reason like sugar content?

Citric acid isn't allowed because it knocks some people out of ketosis. Other acid is ok. The thing to watch with pickled vegetables is for added sugar - lots of them have sugar added and you don't want that. Otherwise it should be ok.
 
:) that's good, I'll check our gherkins, we pickle cabbage at work so that should be ok.
what about general vinegar? I can imagine balsamic is too sugary
