Does IBS get worse when unwell with virus etc

2 replies

Just wondering if anyone else finds a flare up of their IBS related to illness (non stomach illness like throat etc)? And does anything help like buscopan etc?
I’ve tried cutting out food culprits like dairy and soy but now feel like maybe it’s not dietary at all but is flaring due to being unwell or in contact with other viruses etc…
Loose stools occurring 2-3 times per day and a sort of churning stomach are main symptoms.
Anyone have any suggestions for helping ease these or experiences? Thanks

@Brightredtulips oh I’m glad I’ve helped someone lol
I wondered if it is like the body responding to the virus… kind of clever really. Like a heads up!
