Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)

I know it sounds lame, but the good old-fashioned stay in bed and rest, drink lots of fluids, and eat chicken soup is totally what works for me.

I also sometimes (when I can afford it!) take echinacea - you can find it at most health food stores and places like GNC, it's just an herb that boosts the immune system naturally. And I swear it really works. Just don't take it if you have hayfever (seasonal allergies), it'll make the sneezing worse.

I never, EVER take antibiotics. I personally think that if you use antibiotics too much, you completely weaken your immune system anyway. I don't even take them when I have an infection - my body fights it off on its own. You're just as well not being able to take them!
