So what do I do?
In the past, whenever I had a cold, I treated myself to a large, steaming mug of tea with a teaspoon of lemon juice and two teaspoons of sugar. Without the sugar, I can't quite do the lemon juice.
I'd begin the day with pancakes (or crepes) so that I could swallow down many tablespoons of lovely maple syrup. Oooooh, that felt good.
Later, I'd make a batch of rice pudding. With white rice, no less. I'd cook the white rice and milk until the rice was just about to disintegrate, add a couple tablespoons of brown sugar, sprinkle with cinnamon, and nutmeg. I'd throw in a handful of raisins. Atop each serving I'dd add more raisins, more brown sugar. Pecans. Cream. Carbs, carbs, carbs, and cream.
Without carbs I'm drinking plain black tea. I've had an Airborne (didn't check the carbs on that) and will eat my usual cottage cheese and fruit breakfast.
What else is good to eat when a lo-carb eater has a cold?

I finally broke down and made a bowl of oatmeal, which I ate with pecans, berries and cream--but no sugar! I didn't notice any side effects from this choice, and I felt comforted.
