BetsyD Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I am on Day 2 and I got a Strep Throat diagnosis yesterday (yes, on day 1) yesterday so I started taking the antibiotic (and probiotics) as prescribed, cuz doctors orders trump whole30. It has been STRONGLY suggested (by a non-whole30 friend who frequently gets strep) that I take Zicam to help as well. I am think that Zicam it is not 100% compliant ... I am just thinking that I should kick this in the butt while being 98% compliant then add on an extra 5 days at the end ... thoughts/suggestions/alternatives? Yes, I am doing bone broth and throat coat tea and apple cider vinegar ... thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree that you should do this... don't let the sickness linger and since you're so early in the game, it's easy enough to add a few days on to the end and essentially do a Whole35 instead.

TryingOver Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The main ingredient in Zicam is zinc so you could look into regular zinc supplements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplepadres Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Chiming in a bit late, but there is a nasal swab version of Zicam available which would allow you to remain compliant. Hope you feel better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
