Hi Guys,
I was looking for your expertise and advice.
I started low-carbing last summer (July, I think, atkins)and it went well for awhile. I didn't lose much, but I don't have that much to lose, so it was ok. I fell off the bandwagon twice, and never lost more then the initial 4 pounds. But my energy levels were great!
Then, in November, I contracted a kidney infection. The infection cleared up, but I still had white blood cells in urine, and discomfort. I had very low energy levels, and by January I was a complete wreck. My chest actually started burning, so I stopped low-carbing- and got immediately better (I don't eat grains or sugar,still, though).
A couple of days ago, I started not feeling that great again.
Then I read a post on a different site by someone who asked if anyone noticed side effects from taking coconut oil- she complained of a burning sensation in her body, lack of energy and unwellness. It stopped after she stopped taking it.
I realised that I had been taking Coconut oil since end of last year (organic extra virgin cold pressed)- and started drinking coconut milk last week. Anyone else have that experience or have any idea what might be going on?? Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
