I'm wondering if the Flu vaccination will be a big problem for my IBS?

I work at a hospital, and it is mandatory that I take the shot.

All comments are welcomed. Actually, i'm scared. I have been stable for a while now and all the old fears are creeping back into my brain.

Funny you bring that up. I just came back from the doctor and I asked the same question. He said no, it shouldn't, he hasn't heard anything like that. I haven't had any problems with it, and I get them every year. Lets cross our fingers!

Just a quick note, I know there are several of us trying to get pregnant. Anyone who is pregnant or plans on becomming pregnant and the people who live with you should also get flu shots!!

Hi Lene,

I got a flu shot last year and it didn't bother my tummy at all. My arm was a little sore, though. We were scheduled to take them where my hubby works yesterday, but at the last minute they said there was a shortage and were only giving it to people over 65 that were high risk.

Good luck

Thanks to everyone that responded. I was afraid the nonorganic egg in the medication would cause some problems.

I asked the same thing. The dr. aid it won't. It is just encased in an egg. He said it has nothing to do with dairy, it would bother you if you had an actual allery to eggs, or chicken.
