Eucharistic fast

Question from Catherine on 4/24/2008:

I am one of those scrupulous people who ruminates about things over and over. This morning I felt like I was getting a cold, so I took Airborne, which is an effervescent tablet that dissolves in water. I drank it, got ready to go to Mass and work, and drove over to the early Mass. I spent practically the entire time during Mass trying to figure out if I was compliant with the eucharistic fast. The priest was pretty speedy this morning and I did go to Communion, but I am in a quandary about whether I should have received Communion. Hope you can help me out.

Catherine--

Water and medicines do not break the eucharistic fast.
