Ketones in urine: If you are not eating much, ketones can appear. Drink plenty of fluids and eatsmall amounts of carbohydrates. Alternatively, a ketogenic diet has been used to treat children with hard to control seizures. This is high fat, low carbohydrate. Why were you checking your ketones?

Not: The problem to me is why you are not eating much & why you are regularly taking laxatives. You should seriously see a clinician who can evaluate this. Hope that helps.
