I've had plain water today and managed ok. It's only getting used to it just as I got used to the squash when I dropped the diet coke. I've skipped buying the jelly too so time will tell.

Good morning all, 5.7 for me today and feeling positive. Have a good weekend all, I'm off to the travel agents to pay for our holiday in 12 weeks time to Gran Canaria...sunshine and relaxing [emoji16]

Thank you [emoji16]

Same as now, I stopped keto while I was ill and the tummy troubles stopped, but I upped my carbs and went back to diet coke so still no telling if it's the sweeteners or fat.

Both aspartame, I've already looked. Water from now on to see if it's the culprit.

No, definitely no slick [emoji23]

Just realised I also eat no added sugar/sugar free jelly most evenings

Weirdly most times there is no real bad smell, although yesterday there was. all I can say is it's basically like a tap and yellow, no pain or cramping...again apologies people for TMI

Thank you all, I think the sweeteners could be the issue. I'm going to see what I can get, as I'm very aware fluid intake is important on keto. I'm going to try my hardest with just plain water for a few days and see what happens. Thanks for your suggestions [emoji16]

I'll give this a try too Jim as I do love the way my body feels on keto...even with lots of weight still to loose. Thank you.

Thank you Shelley, I think I'll start checking my bg levels more again before and after meals. I've only been doing 3 times a day as I've been pretty stable and also eating only what I know is ok. Think upping carbs very slightly and lowering fat is worth a try.

It makes sense, as before I started this I only drank diet coke, no water, no squash or anything...so thought I was being good swapping the coke for squash. I'm drinking at least 1.5 litre these last few days too [emoji30]

Ah I didn't even think of that. It's the only thing I have with sweetner. I used to drink diet coke all day and stopped once I started keto.

Hi bulkbiker I'm only prediabetic and am trying hard to avoid becoming t2 hence the keto. I'm not on any meds for it. It's most things to be honest, I'm thinking it's the higher fat content as I've got colitis (not ulcerative). Today I've been on a fast and it still happens, all I've drunk is...

Hi all, I've been on keto since January this year and at first I was doing so well, but had a set back in my health for a while and relaxed my eating. I've now got back on the keto diet since Monday but I'm not sure my body tolerates it. I can't handle the mad toilet dash...with absolutely no...

Good morning all, The wanderer returns as I've been AWOL for a couple of weeks. Although my best intentions with keto slipped for a while, I am please to say my bg is still good...this morning 5.5 and yesterday 5.8. I even had a 4.1 yesterday afternoon before my dinner. My weight has stayed the...

Hi Lizzy I am well now thank you, I can't believe it lasted a month. I've been out today buying plants for the garden, I love this time of year.

My girl is only 3 but is so fussy. She will only eat Sheba, but even that is hit and miss from day to day... I have to buy a real assortment. Dried biscuits are easy, she eats any. Cats are so finicky. Even if I open a tin of tuna for her she isn't interested.....unless it's on my plate and it's...

Thank you all. I'm thankful for having my other 2 dogs and my Sphynx Cat as it helps a little, but Harry was an amazing boy [emoji173]

Good morning all, I've been AWOL for a few days..lots going on. A surprising 6.2 for me today after going to bed at 11.0 my highest number since testing. Sadly lost my 13 year old American cocker spaniel yesterday, didn't eat all day and ended up with a bag of chips from the chippy hence the...
