Lo Carb Cough/Cold Meds..........Help!!

[rbuzzotta]

They have knocked me out of Ketosis!!!!

I won't blame it on the Margarita at Margaritaville or the few slips up while at IOA........I will blame it on the Dimatap, NyQuil and Robitussin!! LOL!!

I have had this awful cough/cold for a week now (I know, I should go to the DR.!! LOL) and having been taking all the above medicines!! I am feeling better ( a little) but was wondering if anyone knew of Lo Carb cough/cold medicines for the future.

Back to induction for me!!

I did step on the scale and I am down 10 lbs. (although my scale is not the most accurate).

Thanks

Could you use the Nyquil gel caps? Those seem alright for my dh, don't knock him out of ketosis. Robitussin makes a sugar free cough syrup and sugar free cough drops.

Sometimes we just have to suffer the loss of ketosis to feel better. You'll get right back into ketosis when you are well, it will only take a couple of days.

I'm off to search the web now and look for low carbohydrate cold remedies.

{{{HUGS}}} sweetie, hope you are feeling better very soon.

Don't feel too bad. I'm on a presciption cough syrup that tastes sooo sweet must be full of sugar. I have Bronchitis and its the only way I can stop coughing. I'm not even going to worry about it though, because my appetite is not what it should be...I haven't really been eating normally.
Feel better soon!

I live on Nyquil and Dayquil liquicaps when I'm sick.

Halls has a good sugar-free cough drop... I used it even before I went low-carb - it was the only one that would stop my coughing at night, and I could leave it in my mouth without worrying about all that sugar!

You might try looking in the diabetic section at your local pharmacy... they have a pretty good selection of sugar-free cough & cold remedies available now.
