My gastroenterologist mentioned that IBS symptoms tend to become more severe when other parts of the body are stressed or ill. The body's nervous system is interconnected, so this makes sense. I have had attacks after cough drops, but I could not tell if they were attributed to being sick or IBS, probably a bit of both.
Vitamins are tricky; I recently switched to Nature Made liquid soft gels because other brands caused me C. IBS is a condition that has to be managed, we'll never be cured, but we can find out what works to keep us stable most of the time and it may not always work every time, especially when we are sick; therefore, it is in our best interest to take good care of ourselves and do what we can to prevent getting sick i.e. exercise, fresh air, relax, eat healthy, and use hand sanitizer. The diet tips on this site and having a great doctor have helped me the most to manage IBS.
BTW - I came up with a few positive associations for IBS:
I Be Special
I Be Spectacular
I Be Splendid
I Be Sensational
I Be Savvy
I Be Super
