Does having a cold trigger IBS symptoms?

Not in particular. It seems the same regardless if I have a cold or not

Any time any thing else is wrong with me mine goes crazy.

Mine seems to be when I'm upset and especially eat at certain restaurants out have ice cream at Friendlys

oh yeah, pretty much every time i get a cold my ibs flares up. even just allergies can do it, which is probably because of the drainage like you said. it usually depends on how long the cold lasts or how bad my symptoms are, but it’s definitely not uncommon for me
