After nearly fainting yesterday, I came to a realization today. I thought the sudden episode of diarrhea, dizziness, headache, sweats, nausea & nearly passing out was due to flu. But it was puzzling, because up to that point, I had been feeling better.
It was probably a reaction to the Robitussin Cold & Cough medicine I had taken! I didn't give it much thought because Robitussin has ALWAYS been my go-to medicine for chest congestion. I still think it is a great product, just not great for me anymore.
Sure enough, under "inactive ingredients" was Natural Flavors, which most often but not always means the dairy protein Casein.
I tried to call and ask the source of their natural flavor, but Wyeth is closed for the holiday. So I'm not taking it again until I know. But I'm pretty sure that's what it was. The good news is, I'm almost over the flu now. Enjoying some chamomile tea with lemon in it & using my new electric blanket I love.
