This was a huge win for me, too! I’ve had post-nasal drip for 20+ years and sinus infections were just a way of life. It’s amazing being able to take a deep, full breath.

I’ll second the fatty liver.
Hypoglycaemic episodes,
Anxiety (didn’t even know I had 
),
No longer hangry and my day doesn’t revolve around getting home to eat.
Snoring,
Asthma,
Egg sensitivity ( mild windpipe restriction, but can eat them again now),
No longer obese,
Water retention,
Mood more stable, calmer,
Less irritability all round,
Able to exercise happily,
Could also move more easily even when not exercising,
Brain fog has cleared (I swear I have 10 IQ points more at least),
Blood pressure normal,
Able to cope better with stress and less risk averse.
One of the best wins is be able to sit in a restaurant like a civilised human being. Not becoming anxious because the food hasn’t arrived within 10 minutes. The chemicals were very strong and made me very reactive to smells.
I liken leaving the carbs behind, to loosing teenage friends who enticed you to live at the pub. Not really your friends!

So, the increased fat fixed your gall bladder issue? Do you think it was anything else?

@carolo Fixed my gallbladder too. I cycled off Keto 2 or 3 months and started having gallbladder attacks again. Once I went back to Keto, no more problems. Will not cycle off again. Keto only for this girl.

I have. I don’t remember where another ketopian talked about this, but someone did.

Thank you.
I’m wondering about low fat and IBS/SIBO and if there is a connection…

I’m not sure. I haven’t had problems with IBS or SIBO. Hormonal problems - definitely. Hope someone can give you more info!

You stopped getting them? Or they go away? I haven’t noticed a change but would LOVE this to happen for me!

Huh. I had no idea. My bf is very overweight and has dozens and dozens of skin tags all over his shoulders, arms, and upper back. I wonder what his A1C is.

A bit of the cure came from being on Keto for sure, but definitely the regular inclusion of Apple Cider Vinegar and Lemon juice in water multiple times a day are what cured the shoulder pain. I now add bile salts once a day with dinner (when eating).
15 years of chronic pain and headaches pretty much gone in the space of a few weeks, and finally an ability to get deep restful sleep, as the shoulder no longer wakes me. Toss in that the weight loss means I no longer snore (according to my wife), means the benefits are multiplying.
And while weight loss, relief from inflammation etc are all positives, Keto for me is now 100% about that pain management, and regaining my life.
Give that a try and see if this is an N=2!

Hi Michel, this is really interesting. Can you say hw much ACV and lemon juice you’re using per cup… or roughly per day?
Might give this a whirl! Used to drink it every morning in hot water but over time I fell out of the habit.
Thanks

I would guess that either the chronic high glucose prior to Keto was fueling the fungus, or general improvements in immune system functions allow the body to fight the condition.

*sinuses cleared, mucus production minimized
*menstrual cycles regular, less painful, less heavy
*hypertensive no longer
*fingernails became stronger, grew faster
*skin all over became butter soft
