I need to ask a question, last night i felt ill (sore throat and temperature) and took a paracetamol and went to bed. I woke up this morning with really bad stomach, went to the loo 3 times and had diarrhoea. Took Imodium but my stomach is hurting and i feel aweful and like i need to go to toilet again. Is it because I took Paracetamol??Can it make me feel this bad? Has anyone had any similar experiences or does anyone know about a safe substitution for a pain killer and something to take when you have a temperature cos i wont take a paracetamol again for sure. Please help!

When I lived in the UK I took Paracetamol for pain and fever. It never bothered my IBS. The IBS flare-up you are experiencing maybe due to the same thing that caused the sore throat and fever.

I'm predominantly D and when I take paracetomol it always makes me C, its neve given me D but has given me stomach cramps because it seems to stop everything from working! I used to take Solpadeine if I was ill or had a fever because the codeine in it can make you constipated, it seemed a safe option at the time, now unfortunately if I take it I can't go to the loo for the best part of a week. Might be good for you though?
