Illness

Hey all some advice please - today is day 14 I think and last night came down with swollen glands, temp, the shivers running nose etc. Really felt v unwell. My family have been passing round a killer cold so I do think it's that more than W30 reaction. 

So have cancelled work (never do that!!) and am in bed with hot water bottle. 

Ive forced down a tuna pattie and a red pepper but REALLY don't want to eat. Can it forget it today? I usually just have hot apple juice when I feel like this and sooooooo don't wanna cook. Miss the apple juice! And had a high dose vit c tablet last night and this am see it's full of sweeteners . What do we do about medication? Have I blown it? 

Going back to sleep now but all help appreciated

Eat what you can. Make an easy soup with compliant broth and chicken and toss in some veggies and let it simmer a while? It's ok to eat blandish foods if that is all you can stomach for a while. Stay hydrated and eat as you are able

Thanks Karen. I've made slow roast tomato soup with chicken stock I had in the fridge so not template worthy but complient and full of veg and there's a vat of it so better than mugs of apple juice. Nearly killed me so back to bed again now. 

Thanks for help. 

Is it acceptable to have high dose vit c even tho full of sweeteners?? I know it's off plan but I neeeeeed to be better - have to be up and about tomorrow

So sorry that you're feeling so sick! You remain Whole30 compliant as long as you do not deviate from the yes/no list. You can read the article below and decide if you want to restart. 

I hope you feel better soon. And if you don't, I really hope that you can relax another day or so and get the rest your body needs.
