This might be a weird question…but has anyone ever experienced a sore throat after carb nite? At first I thought maybe the gluten or dairy was bothering me the next day. I don't really eat any gluten or dairy containing food items on my ULC days so I was thinking maybe I was hyper sensitive to them when I did eat them. I've cleaned up my CNs and keep the gluten and dairy extremely minimal and still tend to experience a dry sore throat. It's nothing very serious and clears up after a day or so, but I was curious if anyone else has felt the same or maybe had some thoughts as to why that would happen ??? Thanks!
Only if I didn't drink enough water throughout the night… Other than that it could just be a regular sore throat that has nothing to do with your carb nite.
Yeah not enough water might be the culprit. I would have thought I was getting sick or something but it seems to keep happening right after my carb nites. I didn't drink a ton just because I was pretty full towards the end of the night. I did eat a lot of rice and popcorn so maybe that didn't help either ::) Thanks for the replies 🙂
Something that has been helping me get in a good amount of water in my carb nites, is to drink a large glass each time BEFORE I start munching on carbs again. I started doing this to wash the Leucine powder down my throat, but I noticed it did a wonderful job of helping me regulate my carb ingestion and getting in enough water. If I stuffed myself first and then tried to drink a glass of water, it hurt because I was too full. So if I get the water in first, I just don't cram as many carbs into my tummy.
