Don't count eating Chicken Soup! Chicken noodle soup is safe if it is not 'cream of' chicken soup, and has no msg. You can make this at home easily by buying some msg free chicken broth. Stuff at the school cafeteria may have be a 'cream of' version, and most likely had msg.
Also, when sick with a cold, IBS symptoms can get worse (I find my stomach is a lot more sensitive when I'm tired or sick). I second the point about checking cold medication, I never take any simply because it causes my IBS to flare up. If she has a headache/sinus ache then Tylenol is ok.
Also "She does not have to worry about the C only the D". When taking Imodium, it is possible for someone who is IBS-D to become C for a few days. Make sure to tell her to only take as much Imodium as she needs to stop the D, and if she notices that she's C for a few days, do not take any Imodium until needed.
Hope she feels better soon,
