Staying Well While You're Getting Well Low-Carb Tips for Cold & Flu Relief


Links and Show Notes

Ah, yes. Autumn. The cool, crisp air. The brilliant leaves. The cozy sweaters. And the advent of cold and flu season. Achoo! What does this have to do with our low-carb diets? More than you might think at first glance. Between cough syrup and cough drops, multi-symptom cold relievers like NyQuil. And the oft-recommended tea with honey and chicken noodle soup, there are pitfalls here.


So, let's talk about them. Like, subscribe, and hit that notification bell because you don't want to miss a single episode. 


Cough syrup and cough drops are easy. Virtually any pharmacy will have sugar-free cough syrup, probably labeled diabetic formula, and sugar-free cough drops. Keep in mind that the cough drops are probably made with sugar alcohols.


If sugar alcohols give you gut problems, you'll want to go easy. Hall's Sugar-Free cough drops, for example, are made with isomalt, which has very little effect on blood sugar. But can cause gut trouble in large doses. What about multi symptom cold relievers? I was finding mixed information online, so I went to the source.
