I've been feeling pretty rough for the past week or so. I've had a horrible nasty chesty cough and was searching at the chemist for a cough remedy that I can have without being kicked out of ketosis.
In short, after searching for 45mins and looking at labels, ingredients (and close to being kicked out of the chemist!) I decided that I needed to take some medicine regardless of whether I remained in ketosis or not. I'm asthmatic so I was keen to prevent the onslaught of a chest infection.
So, imagine my surprise that after 4 days of taking the medicine which is loaded with sugar, I am still in ketosis
I'm not condoning anyone to go wild on sugar but it's good to know that with some individiuals the effects are not that drastic. I remember searching this forum last week and just wanted to see posts regarding medicine and strepsils etc and only finding out that sucrose & strepsils are a big no no.
Also, please, don't shoot me down as I'm only sharing my experience with you. Anyway, hope that this post can help some of the others that are suffering with various coughs or sniffles.
