@porters here on behalf of @NaturalMedicine - I went on the Keto diet to support my husband. While he went cold turkey and experienced the Keto flu and rash I gradually went on the keto diet (mostly because i needed to eat all the groceries I had just bought) and never experienced the flu at all. We have been on it for over a year and it definitely takes the weight off and we are very happy with the results we have got from it and enjoy our diet as we incorporated it into our lifestyle.

I've got to be honest @porters... I'm struggling the past few days with if I'm doing the right thing with this keto diet. 5 weeks in, and despite losing a load of weight, it hasn't improved my chronic illness at all and I'm still getting severe keto flu symptoms. I'm supplementing with electrolytes and a bunch of other stuff and drinking plenty of water so I'm not sure what is wrong.
My only thought is that I stopped sugar, caffeine and alcohol at the same time as going keto and before that I was consuming about 3 teaspoons of sugar per day in a pint mug of strong coffee. maybe all of the withdrawals have stacked up to create this mega detox... I don't know but in all the forums I've read that fat adaption shouldn't be taking more than 6-8 weeks max!
I think I'm gonna give it 2 months at least but if things don't improve I'll speak to my doctor and get their advice and possibly stop it.
I would value your opinion on all of this as you and hubby have been keto for so long :)
