I take CVS brand Women's multivitamin once a day, and do fine. What's wrong with vitamin C pills? Unless they have not IBS-friendly ingredients, they should be fine. And I'm sure you can find some that don't have artificial sweetners in them. But for me, for a cold, I take 12-hour store brand decongestant, drink lots of water, and eat soup made from veggie broth, pasta, and maybe some frozen carrots or peas thrown in. -------------------- Melissa Friendship is thicker than blood. ~Rent Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Here's some info from Heather on vitamins and Vitamin C       #202113 - 08/03/05 12:38 PM Edit Reply Quote Augie Reged: 10/27/04 Posts: 5807 Loc: Illinois She says vitamin C can cause gas, abdominal cramps and bloat. vitamins I would avoid the vitamin C, personally. -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!

They all result in IBS attacks for me. I head off colds by getting plenty of rest, taking a day off work if necessary (at the outset rather than waiting for the cold to set in) and making a batch of homemade chicken soup, which includes fresh organic parsley, carrots, celery, potatoes, white rice and whatever else I can tolerate. I find everyone is always sick at my office and their colds last for ages. My approach results in me rarely ever being sick and, when I am, I usually recover in record time. I survived all the office and public transit colds and flus last winter without a single cold myself. In fact, the last time I had a cold was in January 2004! I think that's pretty good considering I can't eat the full range of foods a non-IBS person can. In fact, sometimes I wonder if having IBS makes me healthier than other people because I am forced to stay away from junk food and eat healthy in order to control my IBS.
