KETO RASH

Are you having an allergic reaction to something new in your diet? Maybe too much of something your body normally isn’t used to getting. For example: some people start hitting the dairy pretty hard on keto – when normally they didn’t eat that much dairy before. This could be a trigger; dairy can be pretty harsh for a lot of people especially when it’s a sudden ‘overload’. This can cause a myriad of symptoms depending on how your body deals with something (they were actually sensitive to all along).

Keeping a food journal is awesome for issues that might come up for you. You can look back and possibly make the connection – or find the trigger. The journal doesn’t have to be elaborate when you are starting out. Just writing down what you ate is a start. You can progress into a more detailed journal as you become accustom (remembering) to logging your information. It’s the: forming a habit. This one is a good habit to have, especially when you are doing something new. You can do this with a pen and notebook or digitally – there are (diet-tracking/food/nutrition) phone apps for this as well.

Good luck. I know it can be frustrating when something is not right and you don’t know what it is that’s doing this!

Do you still have the rash?

You could try increasing carbs to take you out of ketosis, then try again after a week or two.
