Do Fruit Smoothies Affect Ketosis?

I am on a ketogenic diet and have been in Ketosis for several weeks. I got an upper respiratory/sinus infection and felt like crud and had a fruit smoothie last night for dinner and again for lunch today. Went to doc today and got a corticosteroid shot, amoxicillin and bromphenir-pseudoephed-dm. Just checked my ketone level and I m still deep in ketosis. Is this because of one of the meds I m taking or is it possible that I could actually consume fruit smoothies and stay in ketosis?

Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I reviewed your query and here is advise.
Ketosis is formed during the long term use of protein food and no carbohydrates.
The consumption of fruit juices lowers ketosis . Also you should consume more than 8 onces of water per day to help renal function.
The consumption of fruit juices switches your metabolism from only fat burning mode that causes ketosis to normal carbohydrate consumption.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
