Mulata Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Before I started the whole30 my chiropractor informed me I had candida in my gut and that was affecting my joints (apparently a week long sugar binge doesn't bring anything good to the party). To combat this he prescribed me a thyme tincture 30 drops twice a day until I've finished the bottle. I took it without a second thought and yesterday suddenly realised it may not be compliant and checked the ingredients. Though it doesn't list them all it does say it contains alcohol. Now I know I'm only having 60 drops in total per day and its not just alcohol but I'm on day 10 and I've been so strict with myself, checking every label (just had to throw out my vitamins after only taking one dose as I realised they contain starch and sucrose) that I don't want to think I've failed on such a small point for something I've been advised to take. Have I ruined my whole30? Thanks for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted March 22, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 22, 2013 Medications get a pass during a Whole30. The amount of alcohol in your Thyme Tincture is small in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulata Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Thanks, I'm just finding my way at the moment and I was crushed at the thought I had "failed" myself. Now I can just focus and finish the next 20 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
