It's true, at least for me it is. My digestive system changed and forced into changing my diet and oh man do I pay for it when I eat the wrong thing.

My doctor told me it could be a virus going around. She prescribed antibiotics but told me they will only help if uts a bacterial I fiction but won't do anything if it's a virus. Well, it's a virus of some sort because the antibiotics did absolutely nothing. Just have to ride it out and keep eating my veggies. Oh Yay!

Cheers to that! A round of Ensure for everyone!
To which I reply with a heartfelt YUCHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! My son bought me some last week when I had no appetite... well, that shit killed the appetite even further! Maybe when your sense of smell is normal, it's ok, but when your sense of smell is totally FUBAR from flu, Ensure makes EVERYTHING smell like Ensure!

Agree its like drinking vanilla/chocolate flavored milk thats been thrown up.

After I'd been sick for a full week and still wasn't better, in fact was a bit worse, could barely breathe at all, I went to the doc and got the antibiotics, and apparently went early enough that it was just bronchitis, not pneumonia. Finished those on Sunday, but it was azithromycin, so they're still working; I'm still coughing up a lot of crap, but i can breathe much better, and FEEL much better... though I still pop a low fever sometimes in the evening.

I prefer milk, nestles quick with protein powder and take a few vitamin pills with it

I didn't used to mind it at all, when I was really super-skinny and just needed more calories... but it's really godawful when you're already sick.
Andria
Maybe incentive to get better?
Aww yes the strawberry nesquik. I did grow with ovaltine also.I prefer milk, nestles quick with protein powder and take a few vitamin pills with it
Nope just the chocolate, the strawberry is horrible to me. would just as soon have ensure.
I am very strawberry challenged with artificial strawberry flavoring.
I think my issue with it is. Visiting grandparents in nursing home and smelling ensure and all the other great smells of death.
I don't like the powdered strawberry. But the already made is good. Not sure why it's better it don't have that artificial taste.

I'd call it incentive to never drink ensure again! I had to just eat tiny bits of this and that till I could handle most of a real meal -- cheese toast, on whole wheat, was good, and also plain whole wheat toast with honey, for energy.... I kept body and soul together for several days, with that.
Andria
PS: always heard that mac n cheese is good if you're sick, but I really hate mac n cheese... but I did eat several nights' worth of lean cuisine fettucine alfredo -- only kind of "mac n cheese" I can tolerate.
Well guess it's time. Wife is making me shower before going out. Guess she don't like the smell of penetrate and ultrasonic chemicals with a dash of radiation.
Never tried that the powdered ran me off.
have a good time with the wife unit.

I hope I never become normal
going shopping for sockets and such tomorrow. Kobalt I think.
And then to HF in a few days for jackstands and a jack and such things.
That's what my doctor prescribed me, did nothing unfortunately. Advil cold and sinus has been more effective, oddly enough. Been a strange winter.
Don’t say that down south here. Them’s fightin’ words son.

And here it goes....... I was over there I did read all of the thread. You are the one that came over here and started the drama with a personal attack on him. Shall I quote you or would you rather just scroll back and read it over again? We disagreed with the way the situation was handled so we moved on. So kindly do the same and move the drama back over there.

I suggest a VAPE-OFF!

No offense, but I would root for the Cards too if I lived down there. Well, they would be my second team anyway.Moved from Northern IL to Southern IL and was highly offended when I discovered down here they root for the St. Louis Cardinals! Still gets my back up after all these years.
Looks good! I would have to add some meat to the dish.
Thank you. Yeah, would have preferred some bits of chopped steak in there but I didn't have any thawed out-and-out my stomach wouldn't wait, lol.
Looks tasty without any meat.
Pygmy corn and all.

That looks like something i could eat

I love good vegetables better than meat.
Greens such as Kale is not good vegetables. Just in my opinion though.
Love a good salad.
I also love junk food
Kale has a funky taste to me. If I eat it it has to mixed sparingly with other veggies.
Hey Jimi!
Kale is bitter
You know, that's the best way to describe the taste of Kale. Definitely bitter.
I'm a carnivore!
Suckling Pig!

It is really horrible to those of us that are sensitive to bitter stuff.
Most greens are.
I can't stand Cilantro. The smell is horrible and it taste like soap to me.
Tastes of kerosene to me.
I love that stuff.. that and parsley, culantro, green onions, basil, etc..
Green onions is gud.
That actually looks pretty good but I’ve got the artery clogger already.

Anyone seen the movie Big trouble? Not the Kurt Russel thing in little china.
And would understand the arugula reference?
Laughed my butt off.
Super glued it back on.
