Hi Everyone,
How are you? I hope you are great! I have a question, although it may turn into more than one question and it may not be organized so well, so you might not really know what I"m asking until the end..lol

I have been following the IBS diet but right now I have a cold which makes it kind of difficult b/c:
a.)I have an extremely sore throat. I have been drinking some tea, which is nice. My mom made me some mango-papaya-banana popsicles, which are almost all gone. NOrmally I can't tolerate cold things, but it goes down easily and numbs my throat and cools me down. OK...the point is...the basis of the IBS diet is hard for me to eat right now (bread and stuff is kinda hard to swallow with a sore throat)
b.)I tried having some soup last night to dip my bread in so it would be soggy and easier to swallow....but that didn't work to well b/c I have an upset (I almost throw up each time i swallow)stomach b/c of all of the stuff from my nose dripping down my throat into my stomach (at least that's my guess

)
c.)Usually i'll try to cook something for myself but I have like no energy right now (it took me about an hour and a half to convince myself to get out of bed and come to the computer to ask my question(s))
Does anyone have any advice on what to eat. I mean I'm not terribly hungry at all, but I have to take other medicines anyhow...and I know that just sucking on popsicles all day probably isn't the best thing. But my mom bought some papaya juice. Can I just freeze that into popsicles (i'm too energyless to do the homemade thing right now..lol).
Thanks so much! HOpefully something I just wrote made sense. If you have any remedies for sore throats feel free to throw those in there, as well!

Thank you and I hope you are having a good day!
