Sore throat and the 'yucks'

I feel like I have a fever but when I take my temp I don't have one. I am going to work because I have to :( Do you think this is Whole 30 related?

Perhaps not, my daughter just got over a cold and had a sore throat, but I usually fight it off and don't get sick :(

    Yeah, I had it for the past few days as well. Sometimes coconut oil causes flashes and irritation in the throat, so if you are using it a lot, that could compound.

    I woke up with a sore throat too. Haven't used coconut oil though.

    It could be as simple as I am catching what my daughter had. I think I remember reading in one of the blog posts about your immunity being down at first as your body adjusts. I really hope I fight this off. I am eating so healthy, I can't imagine being sick :(

    In my experience, I do get sick, but I bounce back super-fast. But I am also a heavy steam room user in the winter and credit the regular exposure to steam with my flash-colds. I almost never use meds any more. The only thing I regret about switching to Savory Primal is that I can't use raw honey for colds. But I do butter instead.

    hope you feel better soon!

    I'm pretty stuffy/sniffly but that's pretty par for the course, it being October n all... damn chilly weather

    Thanks guys, I still feel icky bad, but the cough is getting worse. I used to sleep with cough drops by the bed. Now what?? If they don't have sugar or honey, it is artificial sweetner even the "natural" ones!!!
