Cold Symptoms?

(Nick) #1

Has anyone experienced cold symptoms like, sneezing and a slight headache. So far thats all. Is this related to a mild Keto Flu? I am four days in.

Sounds like a cold.

It may be possible that you have keto flu mixed with hayfever or allergies hence the sneezing. Or maybe you simply have a cold. I’ve never met someone with sneezing as a symptom of keto flu.

Sounds like a cold to me, too. And because you got uppity wih Allie, now you get the lecture:

The symptoms of keto “flu” are lethargy, irritability, headache, constipation, etc., because they are symptoms of a sodium deficiency. High insulin levels, such as one causes when eating large amounts of carbohydrate, cause the kidneys to retain sodium and water. On a ketogenic diet, the kidneys return to what is actually their normal rate of excreting those substances.

Not so obvious, huh? And on second thought, given your level of irritability, perhaps it is the keto flu, after all. Gesundheit!

Mine lasted a month, I’m only now having some relief from all the mucus I had developed. Hang in there, I’m feeling great now, maybe the odd dull headache but otherwise worth it.

Thanks Paul. I was joking with Allie by the way.

Thanks Crickette, I’ll keep that in mind. I’m active and have been eating low carb for a few weeks so its not really affecting me like I thought it was going to. What I experienced was from stress believe it or not.
