I consider everyone on this board to be "IBS experts" and am hoping you could help me with this hiccup in my journey to becomming stable:
What started out as a cold 3 weeks ago, has now graduated to this terrible cough that seems to be getting worse and I've almost completely lost my voice. I'm going to see a doc today and I'm thinking it's probably a bronchial infection (as I've had them before) and they're more than likely to put me on some kind of medicine. My question is this...I'm worried that the meds are more than likely going to cause more problems with my ibs and I don't know what to do to counteract the side affects. Does anyone have any suggestions?? I have peppermint caps at home, but is there anything that I should get while at the drug store, or should I just stick to the really safe foods like rice and potatoes and pasta? Fortunately, I will be seeing the doctor that performed the colonoscopy on me, so I'll also be asking him for suggestions, but really, I trust your opinion more than his. Afterall - he is a doctor!
