Cough Syrup

(Per Martin) #1

I caught a cold during 3rd week of Keto. Without thinking, I started using cough syrup and then wondered why my ketones dropped to 0 or very low levels and glucose shot up. Took me a couple of days to check the medication and discover the problem. So, now that I have switched to cough pills (glycerin juice?), I am hoping that this won’t hurt my Keto/Glucose levels.

I had the same thing happen to me when I first started this woe. I did some research and settled on Hals menthol sugar free drops. But, I’d like to hear from others about what they use during cold season.

I recalled seeing a recipe for syrup but it just seemed to difficult to contemplate making when I was sick.

When I get a cold, I just focus on feeling better. I do not worry about my ketone level.
