Pages: 1 COLDS       #261579 - 05/04/06 01:25 PM Edit Reply Quote 1jannetteavila Reged: 05/04/06 Posts: 1 I read a book called "Living with Chronic IBS" in that books it says that people with IBS get frequent colds? Is there any help for people with IBS who also get colds all the time? Can I take vitamin C, or orange juices?

It hasn't been my personal experience - I rarely get a cold even though I work with the public. Vitamin C can be considered an IBS trigger because it can cause gas, cramps, and diarrhea. I think you shouldn't take more than the 100% RDA for vitamin C. You might want to try a search for this on the main Help for IBS page - check the IBS dietary FAQs. I'm not sure about orange juice. It's probably okay to have a small glass following an IBS safe meal, however, I can't tolerate OJ very well.

May just be a fluke or something but I haven't had a cold in 1 1/2 years. A few times when my kids were sick I thought I was coming down with it but it never materialized. Wonder if others are healthier or not???

And you live in OC. I'm so jealous. I love it down there. I wish I could move back. -------------------- *********************** If you're not dead, you've still got time.

Silly me. I felt like such a dum-dum when I found that out. I drink pulp free orange juice with safe meals and never on an empty stomach and it seems to be okay. Tropicana makes a no-pulp/low-acid orange juice that is pretty good. Oh, and as a dessert, you can pour a little bit of the juice onto some soy vanilla ice cream. Orange Juice Float. Ohhh, yum. -------------------- *********************** If you're not dead, you've still got time. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
