Hello! Posted before about IF helping a lot with mental clarity. I've tried other things in the past to help with this (aip, keto, etc), but almost always end up herxing or with some other detox reaction. I didn't find out until recently that IF can cause this to happen as well and I've had a detox reaction for about a week now. I started to add in a slice of whole grain bread before bed, as I have been mostly keto since starting to ease the herx symptoms, but I'm finding mixed responses online about whether a herx is a good thing or not. Should I stay the course, or is this a sign to step back? Thanks!

I’d ask the actual medical experts about this. This seems to be a pretty specific condition, and in all the years I’ve been on this sub I’ve never heard of it until today. So I doubt many if any of us would be able to give an appropriate answer to it.

Get some electrolytes. From my experience that is the problem. My arms are so weak i feel like they will fall off if i dont make sure i drink this 2x a day. This is what i use Dr. Berg’s Original Keto… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XSTJBL6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Usually a herxheimer reaction is from detoxing of parasytes or heavy metals from what i have learned.
