Yes, but coconut water is not really recommended unless you are doing heavy exercise since it's basically a light fruit juice. Be careful with coconut flesh - it's so good but it can cause gastro upset if you eat too much of it.

No one here is a medical professional so we can't comment on the normalcy of urine color. In general, urine darkens when you are not hydrated. If you are concerned, please see your medical provider.

Of course !

Probably black coffee or tea honestly...

It's hard to say as we don't know what's in it - can you provide more information?

Maple Syrup is not compliant with the program. What are you wanting to use a sweetener for? if it's for baking or making desserts, there is no alternative as recreating baked goods and sweets is not compatible with the program.

These ingredient lists are fine

Hi - sorry, this would not be compatible with the program for a few reasons - whey is dairy, chickpea is legume and it's not recommended to use vegetable oils like this in your home cooking when they can be avoided.

This is fine.

this is fine.

We always recommend that if you are eating more of something than you normally do and having unpleasant and unwanted side effects, to throttle back or eliminate the item of concern and see if that helps. The symptoms you report can also be from eating a LOT of uncooked cruciferous veg and leafy greens so that's something to think about as well.

What you've listed would be fine but it is extremely rare to find these types of products without stevia, monk fruit sweetner or similar which would make them not compatible with the program. Is there a list of all the ingredients?

Blood sugar is generally well regulated on the Whole30 so it would be our recommendation not to take supplements like these; however, if your doctor is involved in suggesting/prescribing this then dr orders trump whole 30.

this is considered a spice or seasoning and as long as it's just the one ingredient, it's fine.

Aw geez, sorry you're not feeling well! My first question would be to ask if you are eating enough. Are you following the meal template for all three meals and also having mini meals or snacks if you are working out or going more than 4-6 hours between meals? The meal template calls for veggies, protein and fat at every meal and we also remind participants to make sure you're salting your food. Maybe we can start with you listing out what you've been eating in the last little while and how that matches up to the meal template and see if we can make some tweaks. No one here is a doctor tho so if you are very concerned for your mental health, reaching out to your provider is encouraged.

I think you might have to fabricate some sort of list - Most of the straight veggie recipes would work and most things with eggs would work if they eat eggs but you're going to be cooking/preparing different proteins - you could probably get away with an egg based breakfast that suits you both. Maybe do some sort of deluxe salad that you can each add protein to for lunches and then for dinner, eat the same sides and the different proteins.

Okay on it! Thank you!

Uh oh! Okay, can you provide a link to the recipe? We have cookbooks, Instagram, Facebook, Forum recipes and then the entire community of people who post Whole30 compatible recipes that we don't have any control over, so it's hard to know where to look for this one

What is 'Oatly'? Is it some type of oats? If so, it doesn't matter if it's gluten free or no, no grains are compatible with the program.

Maybe this will help https://mgmasoncreative.com/2015/08/17/words-with-different-meanings-us-vs-uk-cider-edition/

No, it's apple cider - usually found down the juice aisle. Just make sure you read the ingredients and confirm that there isn't sugar or other non-compatible items.

Did you do your reiintroductions properly and systematically to determine which foods were potential issues for you? Being on a 'forever Whole30' isn't practical or sustainable but if you do your reintroductions, you can create a WholeVanessa program for yourself with rules and food restrictions customized for you.

Sorry no, it's still dairy.

Doctor's orders trump Whole30 so please follow those directions.
