All week I have been suffering from a cold, with severe chest and and nasal congestion. I tried Mucinex multisymptom severe cold syrup to treat the symptoms, and it gave me a very bad diarrhea. In the past I got diarrhea from other, similar liquid multisymptom cold meds.
So I then switched to the Mucinex caps and that seemed to help, but my office manager did not like the way I sounded today, and ordered me to see a Doctor which I did late afternoon.
So I left the office, saw my PCP and she gave me a script for Guaifenisen AC Cough Syrup. From what I read online, it is a high powered codeine cough syrup which contains one agent to loosen and break up the phlegm so that it is not painful when I cough, and codeine, which suppresses the urge to cough by telling the brain to stop coughing. I suspect this will constipate me if anything so I will need to dial it back with the imodium tonight.
How do your J Pouches handle these cold meds? OK?
