Guest guest Posted November 6, 1999 Report Share Posted November 6, 1999 ahhh Penny, it is no fun being sick, I know, I am just now getting over 4 weeks of some bug that did everything to me from my nose to my lungs!!! and I was trying to eat lowcarb too... lol well, I found something out, I tried a health remedy called Euchansia. I got it from my Health Food store, where I buy the Atkins bars and shakes. It was amazing stuff, I got better so fast, in almost 2 days of taking it. I am trying to get my husband to try it, he has been putting up with the sore throat (from postnasal drip) for a week now. He tries Sudafed, Dayquil, Vicks salve, Nyquil and nothing is helping yet. Oh well, just my 2 cents worth, take good care. deb in ohio (who thinks a shake would be good a little later) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 6, 1999 Report Share Posted November 6, 1999 Penny -- I hope you're feeling better! Take care of yourself, sweetie. I'm curious why you didn't use the rootbeer. The fizz? I know carbonation hurts my throat sometimes when it's sore. If you really like the taste of rootbeer, you might try rootbeer extract. You'll find it in the baking section with the vanilla and other extracts. You don't need very much (as with vanilla), so the few carbs in the extract shouldn't be a problem, but remember to count them. I also like to put cream in diet black cherry soda. It tastes just like (well, if I close my eyes...lol) black cherry ice cream.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 1999 Report Share Posted November 7, 1999 Thanks Gail, I didn't use rootbeer cause I just wanted the ice cream effect. My throat is a little better today, and so are the kids! I have to go tonight to my daughters State Band Contest!! I have missed every contest this year for one reason or another, so I HAVE TO GO!! You know how that is!! I have looked at local grocery stores for different extracts and they have no selection here, I might have to find a baking place or something, They usually have vanilla, papermint, banana, rum, and Almond! Boring!! Thanks anyway!! Hugs Penny---Ohio 173/156.5/130 Goal for TG ----- 154 !!!!!!!!Go Dolphins!!!!!!!!!
