ok everyone seems to be saying the sticks are not working can i just say i worked on a gyne ward for 6 years and when a lady came in with bad pregnacy sickness they normaly had 4+++ ketones in urine and our treatment wasnt food carns ext it was sickness pills ( to stop sickness ) but fluids lots of bags of IV fluids till keytones were gone so may they are not showing up as you drink so much water on this diet they tend to show more when youre dehydrated ihope this helpspeoplenot focuson it so much just drinking the amount of water can make them not show up
