miniannotti Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 So I am in a panic, 2 days from the end! (Day 28) I've lost my mojo! I haven't cheated, prob too many nuts in general, but that's the case all the time. I have come down with a wretched head cold and since Friday I've taken cold meds. Nighttime stuff and some sudafed for sinus pressure. I haven't visited the ladies room....if you know what I mean....since Saturday! I feel like I'm going to explode! My food is fine! I'm following the rules and want to finish strong. Only other element is I'm coming up on that lovely lady time.....arghh! I will be so depressed if on the 30th this is not seriously different. I feel gigantic, bloated and wouldn't even want to put a tape measure around my waist! Do you think cold meds could cause this much trouble? Or is it that plus PMS causing the perfect storm? So frustrated! And a little sad that it might end badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Sorry you're feeling so badly.Nighttime stuff might have alcohol, sugar or other nasties in it. Not sure if that would cause your bloating. Too many nuts may cause bloating.Have you had a lots of raw vegetables or introduced new foods? That or PMS could also cause bloating. I say do what you need to do to take care of your cold and get yourself healthy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniannotti Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Not too many nuts than my usual... No new foods, the only raw I have are salads. Thanks for the feedback. Ultimately, if I don't "recover" from this ....I won't weigh in until it passes. I don't want to be depressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vkarnowski Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Depending on what cold meds you are taking, most over the counter medicine has sugar in it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bet Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 The nightime stuff may have alcohol in it. Sudafed has a nasty ingredient in it (they use it to make meth!) but you would have had to buy that from the pharmacy. The new stuff, Sudafed PE, doesn't have that ingredient and I find it works best and doesn't make me feel like I'm on a LSD trip. I can sympathize, I came down with a bad head cold which I had from day 10-25 on my W30. The only good thing was I didn't really miss eating a lot of stuff that much, no smell or taste! If you aren't already, take Magnesium Glycinate for the constipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniannotti Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Yup. I take mag, probiotic, & psyllium every night, have for years. I took NyQuil gel caps 2 nights. Half dose (which knocks me out), then sudafed not from the pharmacy. Grrrr. Irritating. I'm drinking buckets of water tonight, maybe that will help. Thanks all.

Robin Strathdee Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Cold/sinus stuff always puffs me up, medicine or not. Not sure why, but I'm guessing its an inflammation thing. IMO your best bet is to keep trucking until your cold passes and then do your final evals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsStick Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I usually get that way a few days before lady times, then as lady times hit it's all good. I've been taking cold meds (half dose of night ones and half dose of day 1x day) and haven't had any bloating on my Whole-ishWhatever I'm on now.
