*puke* 24+ hours of nausea...WTF?!

Years ago I did Atkins for about 2.5 years and lost 60#s (then went back to my carby crap-eating ways and regained half of what I lost). I never once had a bout of nausea.
I have now been on the verge of puking for >24 hours. At first I thought it was due to over-indulging in adult beverages the night before (my alcohol tolerance is super-low on low-carb and everything leaves me hung-over the next AM, so a benefit of LC is I don't even want to drink calorically dense wine 2 nights/week, heh). But I am still feeling queasy today.
I've been back on solid low-carb/ketosis (eating ~20-30 net carbs/day) since 1/1 and also low-carbed for most of the month of Dec, except for the big holidays. I'm also a runner and cyclist and working back to fitness after fracturing my right wrist in late Nov. and being forced to take about a month off while in a long arm cast (doctor's orders). I'm finding that I spend much of my EASY 3-4 mile runs feeling mildly queasy. I asked a couple of ketogenic runners about this and they suggested that I need to bump my calories up (I was eating 1300-1400 net calories/day, which all the calculators suggest is right for someone who is otherwise fairly inactive and my height/age/weight).
Maybe I caught a bug? Diet ginger ale is helping. Thoughts?

Any chance you're pregnant?0

Nope. Had a tubal with cauderization and thermal ablation about a decade ago. The baby factory was condemned, burned-out, and the doors were soldered shut! :drinker:
I'm thinking I maybe had a bug...or the longest hangover in history! By about 2pm I started feeling a lot better.0 -
Ugh, I am still battling intermittent nausea/wooziness. On the bright side, I don't think it was *just* the wine that left me feeling so awful 48 hours ago. I'm starting to think it's the Tramadol/Ultram my orthoped. prescribed for wrist pain, recently (I fractured my wrist back in late Nov. and have had a good deal more pain since having the cast removed, since I have a lot of soft tissue damage/sprain and muscle atrophy from being immobilized for >5 weeks). I found a bunch of discussions online re: people having similar issues while on this drug and shortly after taking it. I'm only taking 2-3/day (50mg), but I'm going to switch over to plain Advil for a few days (especially since the pain is far less now than it was 2 weeks ago) and see if that helps. Thankfully I still have a few meclizine/Dramamine II in the medicine cabinet. And ginger ale and minced ginger. Gross.0

If you have been VLC for a while then you are suffering from alcohol poisoning! While VLC, you can not tolerate alcohol at all and it is toxic to the brain. You may want to go to the ER if you are still not feeling well.
Your fat burning will be on hold until your liver can detox all of the alcohol out of your system. If you overate, your body will have the added problem of those calories that it can not process until all of the alcohol is completely out of the system!0 -
3.5 servings of alcohol over as many hours is not going to cause alcohol poisoning in any 145# 39 year old woman (low-carb or no low-carb. I'm no noob to ketosis or reasonable intake of adult beverages, either).
I'm still sick and it's looking more and more like I'm having a reaction to stopping taking Tramadol/Ultram cold-turkey for my broken wrist pain earlier in the week. I have pretty much all of the textbook symptoms. I only took it as-directed for about a week, but I'm dealing with intermittent nausea, diarrhea, and wooziness. I can get my symptoms to let-up temporarily for several hours by taking .5-1 50mg pill, but within a few hours of the dose wearing-off I am sick all over again. This blows and it looks like I could be dealing with this for weeks or even a month or more. Evil, evil stuff and I will make certain to demand that this is never ever prescribed again post-injury or surgery. I've never experienced this sort of reaction after stopping any other narcotics for acute pain.0
