Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

While I posted this in the Living Room, I thought I would post it here also.

I made it back from my lovely 11 day vacation to Greece. Visited some of the different islands and had a great time. Even better, I only had two small minor episodes while there that after a few hours, patience and help from my fiance we were able to get me through those to enjoy the trip. Thank you so much to everyone for the advice in advance since I was well prepared for my first plane ride ever (and to go international) that I was able to calmly deal with the stress of take offs, turbulence (half the flight to London, and 75% of it coming back) and the extremely rough landings.

Having packed safe snacks for myself to last the duration of the trip, I was so happy since the meal on the planes were really bad and completely unfriendly to an IBS tummy. I had a great time and had wonderful luck asking for safe foods to eat at the resturants. Even when I was "bad" and tried a taste of all the authentic foods to at least know what everyone else was enjoying, I got lucky and didn't have any problems.

Thanks to everyone who gave the excellent advice and took the time to help me prepare. You are all WONDERFUL!!!!! Time to start doing laundry and getting through all the pictures. Will post some soon (over in the Living Room)!
