Default Multi-vitamins and Ketostix...

Just have a concern..

After reading a couple posts it seems that being dehydrated can cause you to show high on a ketostix test... even if you are not in ketosis.

Now... I drink plenty of water, lucky for me I work for a bottled water Co. and get it for free, so I know Im not dehydrated. Ive been counting my carbs and have been sticking to 20 or less.

Some people will tell you that if your urine is dark or very yellow in color that you are not drinking enough water. Some, right off the bat, will say its a sign of dehydration.... without asking about water consumption.

I just bought a bottle of ketostix... I tried it out and seems Im between moderate and high. Thing is since Ive been taking this multi-vitamin my urine has been VERY yellow in color although I drank about ohhhh 40+ oz of water since Ive been awake today.

Will the multi-vitamin, which is obviously apparent, affect the ketostix test? Should I maybe not take a multi-vitamin for a day and see what the ketostix will then show?

Thanks in advance...

BTW.. before someone says it.. I have the book.. Im reading it.. if its in the book I havent gotten to it yet.

*edit*

If it matters the multi-vitamin Im taking is a GNC Ultra Mega Gold.
