I have taken Extra Strength Tylenol for two days for flu, and it seems to have put my symptoms into total remission. Is that possible?

No, not possible...could you possibly not be flaring and have IBS symptoms?

Could be that you're not eating and pooing as often while being sick since you're probably not as active or on a schedule.

hope you get better soon.

My UC was much better when I had the flu...Maybe your immune system has something else to go after other than your colon when you have the flu.

Some people find that Tylenol can be a bit constipating so it can slow down the bowels, could be that's what you're experiancing...it used to happen to me from time to time, but of course it was short-lived....glad you're feeling better IBD wise though.

Oh well, false alarm, today has been a mess after 3 days of bliss. I guess the Tylenol is not the cure.

I hope you're using meds at this time....

Feel better soon,

Tylenol did make me feel better when i was having flu. But the flare came back after a week.
