reneeatx Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Have pretty severe anemia - have to get Venofer infusions. Venofer is iron in a sucrose solution and before this is infused, a bag of dextrose solution is pumped into my arm. So...are intravenous solutions of sugar (in this case sucrose and dextrose) just as non-compliant as eating these sugars? My guess is yes - what do others think?

laura_juggles Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 You're having the infusion based on the order of your doctor, so that supersedes any of the Whole30 rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I would run a Whole30 after your current medical procedures are complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reneeatx Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Yes, fully aware that Dr. orders trump whole30 rules. My question was poorly worded. My question is - does my body respond to IV sugar in the same way as sugar ingested as food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
