Crippling back pains.......

[helanrob]

I did slim & save earlier in the year for 5/6 weeks......I had absolutely no problems going in to ketosis, no adverse side effects.

I restarted again on Sunday, so I've been following it 4 days.......this time I'm suffering from horrendous backpains, around my left kidney, major headaches, couldn't get warm last night in bed, hubby wrapped me in duvet, throw (doubled over), I wore pj's ( which I never do) , and was still shivering......I had an awful nights sleep, very fretful.......now the only thing I can think of that I'm doing different this time round, is drinking mugs & mugs of green tea (flavoured variety).

Now I really don't want to come off the diet but I'm really struggling to function today.....any help & advice would be greatly appreciated.

It could be ketosis, or maybe you have just been unlucky enough to come down with something at the same time as restarting. Could you have a UTI? I would see how you feel and if you don't improve maybe you need a visit to the docs to get checked out.

I sometimes have horrible pain and other times I dont. Green tea is very powerful so maybe try a different tea for a while to see if anything changes?
when I did LL green tea made me throw up so I avoided it, I think its because it really does have an antioxidant effect! something like that..
Ive been drinking hot water, really warms me up and goes down easier than cold water. bit boring but you could add the flavourings

Thanks ladies....


Still no better today so I've made an appointment with dr.......I suspect it's a water infection as its only on one side.....

Hot water is normally my drink of choice anyway, normally with a Splash of lemon juice, obv not while I'm on this diet thou.

I add the S&S lemon flavouring to hot water to make a nice, warm drink.

Hope the Dr sorts you out & you feel better soon x

Well the verdict is in n I've got a nasty kidney infection.......no wonder I feel so rough......I've not managed to eat anything for past few days, but I don't think putting the extra strain on my kidney by being in ketosis is helping my health.

I've decided to return back to normal eating to fight this infection, then il address slim n save in the future.

Good luck ladies

oh dear, sorry to hear that. This diet will definitely be hard work for your kidneys, and liver too.
Hope it clears up soon! good luck with your weight loss.
