Rlowe Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I rarely (I mean never) get a cold, but I came down with my first cold in six years today. Anyone else experience sickness during the beginning of the their program? I already use natural saline rinse for the congestion, but any other suggestions to minimize my symptoms is greatly appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'm sorry you are not feeling well! Getting sick early in a W30 is not entirely uncommon especially if this is a big change for you as your body is probably letting go of a lot of toxins right now. Saline rinse is awesome. I would suggest upping consumption of homemade bone broth. I've found that hot water with a Tbs of raw apple cider vinegar helps to knock the crud out of my sinuses as well. Of course lots of rest and stay compliant. This doesn't have to wreck your W30. Hope you feel better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rlowe Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thank you I am hoping it is short lived sickness. I have remained on plan today which is a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyKay Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I've been told your body detox's and this can cause some of the symptoms also. Good advise from Physibeth - I did have this problem the first time I did whole 30 - a bout 3 months ago. I've used a lot of applecider vinegar in a tea and just knowing it's a process that is cleaning out. It is hard to go through - but I think knowing it's a good thing helps to hang in there.
