bug or IBS???????????????

[bookeater]

my IBS is usually C related.

As I have been unwell since Thursday with intermittent D, could I have a bug that has irritated the IBS?

If this had been during the week rather than over the weekend I would have contacted my GP who usually talks through whatever symptoms I have.

When I know I have taken too many meds for constipation I will use Immodium and that sorts me out. I have not used any for the D because if it is a bug it needs to get out of my system.

Any opinions, please.

I would say you are doing the correct thing for your situstion. But that's just my opinion of course.

Drink plenty of water, squash diluted, eat very plain foods. Should feel better in the next couple of days

Sounds like it was a bug on this occasion. I have had this happen to me before and not realised till after the event that it was probably a bug!
