I went to Dr. yesterday and I have strep throat. He told me to rest as much as possible and put me out of work for a few days. If I miss workouts should I take X-Gels anyway? I'm still taking Alphamax and SL and drinking protein. I'm for sure skipping today's workout and may miss Thursdays. Thanks for the help.
 
Do not take anything that will cause inflammation if you have strep. Do not take ARA until your infection is gone.

this. Omega-6 fatty acids / ArA increase the body's inflammation and could potentially make it worse.
 
Ok. I'll skip the X-Gels for few days. I was just worried about losing saturation but I guess it would be not nothing if I cant workout. Thanks for the quick responses.
 
Make sure to rest, truly rest. Strep takes time to get better from.
 
I wouldn't be too keen on lifting weights while on Anti-Biotics - some of them (especially fluoroquinolones) can do nasty things to muscle, joint and connective tissue. Take a break - you'll lose almost nothing (if anything at all).

Lay off the supps and workouts man, give your body time to heal properly and then hop back on ArA. The X Gels will be waiting when you're recovered.
 
I don't think I could workout if I wanted to lol. I'm wiped out. Definitely gonna rest for few days and let my body fight this off. Thanks for all the help.
 
Just get better then start the x gels is my two cents.
