mfustos Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 So today is my OFFICIAL first day on the Whole30 program. I got some reading done in the ISWF book last night and have started to understand a little better how food fuels the body. I did a soft start for the last 2 days, but it is on like donkey kong now! Question: I have been searching for a pain reliever (aleve, advil, ibprofin, aspirin, tylenol, ANYTHING) that DOESN'T have a filler in it that is not approved. Most have corn starch or another grain additive and a lot have coloring like Blue 40 (or whatever). Any suggestions? Thanks, team! It's good to get this thing started. I am excited to see what results this life change may bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted August 7, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 7, 2015 I take Tylenol when I need something. You're okay with it during a Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmr_sailor Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I take Tylenol when I need something. You're okay with it during a Whole30. So a generic acetaminophen with corn starch is ok on the Whole30?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfustos Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 I don't know fmr_sailor. I was hoping someone had something without all that crap added to it. I can't believe how many supplements and medicines have additional ingredients that don't really seem to need to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe how many supplements and medicines have additional ingredients that don't really seem to need to be there. The generic I used to have from Harris Teeter didn't have corn starch in it. But I bought the one from Target yesterday, and it does. I have it set on my counter with the receipt to return it tomorrow. Then I suppose I'll get the Harris Teeter one. Or maybe if I bought the capsules rather than caplets the ingredients would be different. Hoping Tom can help clear this up completely for me..... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted August 12, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 12, 2015 So a generic acetaminophen with corn starch is ok on the Whole30?? Yes, this would be fine. If you are in enough pain to need a pain medication, take it. If you aren't in enough pain to be totally sold on taking it, try some alternative therapies (for headaches, that is) such as a nap, more water, peppermint oil on your forehead, essential oils etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
