Hi Mamacita,

Every morning I fix a bowl of oatmeal with a fistful of crushed walnuts, another fistful of Craisins (sweetened dried cranberries) and a small spoon of Splenda.

I'm not wild about it, but it's easy on the stomach and the walnuts provide my daily Omega-3 fat ration while the craisins provide something for my prostate. On top of that, it seems to help settle my stomach (which has lately been a tad touchy from the rads.)

The biggest benefit for me is that it doesn't aggravate the constant nausea, so that's a huge plus for me. Right now, there's not much else that works as well. But on the other hand, this nausea is transient and in a couple of weeks should be done with me.

In the meanwhile, waiting for the nausea to finish with me and move on, I can see I'll have time to work on my "snappy rejoinder" file.

I like yours to the IFoFoF (Idiot friend of a friend of a friend.) You go Girl!
