Does donating plasma drop you out of ketosis?


(Belinda K Evans) #1

Doing well on Keto until I donated plasma. Then …felt nausea and weakness like bonking. What does donating plasma do to my ability to burn fat. Could it drop me out of ketosis or could I just be more susceptible to dehydration? Or even worse could it impair my blood’s ability to to transport fats temporarily?

Any ideas?

I had a really bad reaction to donating plasma years ago, long before ever doing Keto. The room started spinning, I started to get nauseous and hyperventilating at the same time. I was throwing up and gasping for air simultaneously, and then chocking on the vomit. It was a very scary experience and the last time I ever donated.

For me the problem was they did t give me the saline drip that time. They said the new policy was only for new donors to get it. I didn’t realize it would affect me like that, but when I started throwing up and panicking, they gave me the drip and it slowly started to get better.
