Feeling Good on Keto

(Keto Kid 4 Life) #1

Ever since I’ve been on Keto some niggling symptoms have subsided a great deal. I hardly ever get heartburn anymore. I used to take Nexium twice a day. I also have fewer asthma attacks. My doctor will tell me that the loss of symptoms are due to weight loss, but I have lost weight before and still had chronic heartburn. The asthma is a recent development. Wondering if the relief is due to Keto. Anyone else have problems that slowed down or went away?

Yes! I’m only on day 11 but I don’t have to hit the albuterol before bed since day 5 and my entire GI tract seems like it’s sitting around waiting for something to do now that I’m not dumping catastrophic garbage into it. In other words, my heart burn only flares up if I get sneaky and try a diet soda, then I’m screwed.

My very favorite part is that I don’t get those weird aches and pains in my muscles and joints after eating anymore and my general muscle stiffness is just gone.

Yes. I generally feel better. You post is encouraging because sometimes I get joint stiffness. Hope that goes away too.

I’m only on my sixth week, and I stopped taking my normal 40/80mg dose of Nexium daily. I think I’ve only had to take it a handful of times, like when I have a spoonful of pb too close to bedtime. I’ve only lost 13lbs, but my joints don’t ache as much as before, either. Something else that improved is my sciatica - recovery time is faster and I only see an acupuncturist 1x month instead of every week.

I think the thing that has improved the most besides the heartburn is my mood. I’m much more even-keeled throughout the month.

It is porbably lower rates of inflamation do to BHB signalling (ketone signalling). This somewhat technical video explains the wonders of BHB

I have had 3+ years of elevated BHB and I have not had a cold, sinus infection no ear infection since. I used to get sick 3 to 6 times a year.

Keto does wonders! That’s why I love it so much! I encourage my friends who complain about their weight not coming off fast enough or they don’t favor the Keto foods. I tell them feeling great makes it all worth it.

Thanks for posting the video Eric!
