Anyone else experience bruising easily while on keto ? I have been spotting bruises in random places and they are big. I haven’t hurt myself. Starting to worry a little. I have at least 10 bruises a over half are bigger than a dime

I had a similar issue when I first started keto. I had multiple bruises on my upper thighs and belly. I couldn’t remember hurting myself enough to even get a bruise, but they just kept appearing. So I googled it and found that one cause of bruising easily can be caused by blood thinners, which I was on. I stopped the blood thinners (after talking to my dr) and the bruises went away and I’ve been bruise free since (4 months now). If you’re on medication, perhaps there’s a side effect that is causing it?
I think I finally figured out what was causing the bruises. My 22lb dog likes to jump on my lap. A lot. I think he’s the one that was bruising me. They were all paw print size bruises. Lol I also had a bruise on my ring finger only. I read that can be caused by holding a grocery bag. I’ve never had issues with bruising, so it was really odd that it started happening all the sudden.
Not sure how this ties in with keto but it’s interesting that it has happened to others. I hope you find out what’s going on and can fix it.

Yes, my bruising decreased when I first started keto 7 months ago, but it’s back with a vengeance. My iron levels are fine, not sure what the issue is.

Same here! This is my 3rd round (12 weeks now) and I am brusing all over thighs and calves (sometime arms). Quarter size and mostly dimes. Some suggested more Iron – I take a multi now adding Iron supp – no pain, but just bothersome.

I am still having random bruises. I’ve always bruised easily but never this bad. It’s so weird. My family is always askin what happened
