Cold medicines and IBS do not go hand in hand very well -- at least not for me. Anything that goes in my mouth will come out as gas and I am extremely bloated --- better go make some fennel tea  It is bad enough to have a cold getting you down but then to add the IBS.

It's really strange but for some reason, when I have a cold, SOMETIMES my IBS seems to go away. It's like my body decides it will only handle one thing at once - LOL.
I know what you mean about cold medications though. The liquid ones almost always throw my tummy for a loop, and the tablet forms medicines are completely useless to me. Just cozy up with lots of nice hot tea, and be sure to get lots of rest!

IBS-A since age 12, and fructose sensitive; with the exception of my pregnancy, have been following Heather's diet since Nov. 19, 2007.
Taking 12g of Acacia per day. Relatively stable since March 2008!

I just had a horrible cold right before thanksgiving. It made me so naseaus... I dont do well with meds. But I took liquid benedryl cherry flavor and I was fine and it helped. You have to take it every 4-6 hours though. Snuggle with a warm blanket or robe and drip some hot tea. And I made some FF chicken broth with Curly chinese noodles (like oodles of noodles) with alittle salt and chicken boulion.
Hope you feel better.
