4windsrider Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'm an RN and yesterday at work I had a headache….rare for me, but I work in a busy critical care unit and can't afford to be distracted. I'm on day 13 of my whole30 and have a co-worker who is on about day 20 of his. I took one ibuprofen (Advil) and joked that I hoped Ibuprofen was whole30 compliant. Imagine our surprise when we found "Corn Starch" listed in the filler ingredients of the ibuprofen !!! (FYI, no, I did not start over but am all the more aware of how important it is to read labels and ingredients !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted November 13, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 13, 2015 Yes, ibuprofen is not Whole30 compliant but if you need to take it, you can do so without breaking your Whole30. We recommend that those that can, take acetaminophen instead because it's less hard on your gut. But if you cannot for whatever reason, ibuprofen is okay....if you are in pain we don't expect you to suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
