Yeah, this is one of those situations where I'd go with "just take the pills" and not worry about the carbs in them. They probably have 1g per cap, but they don't need to be loaded like the syrup is, since you're not chewing them or anything (ew...).

Once nice thing I've found about this way of eating is that the longer you're at it, the less issue you have with allergies. It can take a while, though. I think it's taken me about two years to get to the point that I'm at now -- pollen count through the roof (hubby says they're considering a new level on the scale, it's so high), and I'm clear as a bell. The real test will be Thanksgiving at my mom's (old house, lots of dust and probably embedded mold), which has been my litmus test and I noticed that each time I go, allergies take longer to set in and are less severe.

I've been off my allergy pills by default for a few days now, but doing okay so far... I'd say the misery is worth the hit. Think of it this way, too ... you've been taking those pills when eating far worse, right? So you're still way better off than before. Might also look into a 24-hour pill...those help me better than the short term ones that burn out of my system. I take the 24 hour when I get up, that way if it wears off, it's while I'm sleeping and the impact isn't as bad.

As long as the ketostix show SOMETHING you know you're still in Ketosis. It's kind of like being pregnant, you either are or you aren't. No such thing as a little bit pregnant you know?
