[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 2194207, member: 160246"] Am at work on my lunch break so am going to follow up with you after dinner tonight (long after you've gone to bed!). What you're describing sounds more like an electrolyte issue (but I haven't looked yet to see if your symptoms could be due to coming off the medication; will take a look at that after dinner tonight). Here's a link to where you can learn more about electrolytes and keto, also sodium specifically... [URL]https://hvmn.com/blog/ketosis/keto-electrolytes-tips-and-concerns[/URL] Here are the symptoms they list for sodium deficiency... [LIST] [*]Weakness [*]Fatigue [*]Headaches [*]Nausea [*]Vomiting [*]Muscle cramps [*]Brain fog [*]Irritability [/LIST] A dietitian told me a few years ago that the body is good at recycling sodium, which is probably why it took a while before I began having some of the above symptoms. Two things you can start doing today while waiting for me to get back to you... Increase your salt intake today to see if you feel better. Try a 1/4 teaspoon. If you don't feel better, try one more 1/4 teaspoon. (I just dissolve it in hot water.) Consider eating "PFC" each time you have a meal or snack, which means include a source of protein, fat, and carbs (in the form of a non-starchy vegetable or leafy greens). Perhaps that will help to address "the horrid tummy ache". [Edited to add] Also might be a good idea to figure out if you're getting some potassium rich foods daily. Here's another link, but it's just the one that came up first on my search - (haven't read it yet)... [URL]https://perfectketo.com/potassium-rich-foods/[/URL] More later... [/QUOTE]
