Don't knock how nutritious snot can be!

How nutritious is it really? Because I'm thinking I've got a sinus
infection too.......

Is that over the counter? Thanks.

The snot is OTC

Be careful - too much causes upset stomach.

I'm writing to you because I can't think of better newsgroups to
answer my question, which is: I have always made oatmeal by the
recipe on the Quaker Oats box: 1/3 cup oats, 3/4 cup water. But the
new box reads: 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water. (and of course the
calories which used to be 110, are now 150). When did the portion
size change? And why?

When did people start to actually measure porridge ingredients?

Always, if you want it to come out the same consistency. Plus, my
various calorie guides all say 1/3 c. for oatmeal portion.

I read the Quaker Oats box further and discovered that the 2 gr. of
soluble fiber that the new larger portion contains is still not
enough: says that 3 gr. are "recommended". Of course no mention of
even higher concentrations of soluble fiber in apples and broccoli.

Tell me about it. About the only time I ever puke is when I've got a
stomach full of sinus drainage. Now that I'm eating healthier that's not as
often as it used to be but it still happens too often for my comfort. I've
had this problem all my life and I think it's hereditary because my dad has
it too. I avoid dairy and only have cow's milk when it's called for in a
recipe and then I pass on the recipe if it's over a half a cup. Yogurt
doesn't seem to be a better choice for me, I guess it's not the lactose that
bothers me. I do drink soy milk and take a calcium supplement daily.

Don't ask me for a cite, because it's been many years since I read this,
but a study was commissioned (by the space people) on the nutritive value
of snot. They found that it wasn't a significant source of nutrients.

Where's our snot expert, anyway (on rfc)? I haven't read anything from
her a a while now.

I was taking Biaxin for my sinus infection. It's normally given for acne
which is why they gave it to me - it was when I had that really bad breakout
on my torso & neck.

Lucky you! I've only been sick for 5 days. I am feeling much better now
though. I've never heard of Biactin.... Levoquin is kinda expensive but
works well.

All of these posts are making me feel even queasier! yuck!

BTW, I am down 2 more lbs (thanks to the appetite suppressant in snot!) I
only took a week off from gym and started working out again last night.

I don't know... but the more drainage I have, the smaller the appetite as it
makes me queasy
