Pages: 1 help with dealing with air travel       #11165 - 06/09/03 01:21 PM Edit Reply Quote daddy_of_3 Reged: 06/09/03 Posts: 1 i have IBS-D. I am having to travel by air on a weekly basis. I am currently eating oatmeal for breakfast everday and drinking soluble fiber 3X a day. My current strategy is to stop eating almost everything, but oatmeal 2 days before i fly and drinking lots of water. It has worked so far, thank God! Any other strategies out there? I always have to have an aisle seat near the bathroom or I spend the whole trip obsessing about going to the bathroom. Needless to say I am now very skinny! Any IBS boards for frequent travelers? Thanks for any replies!

I'm not a frequent traveler but I have traveled recently. I ate a lot fat free saltines before, during, and after my flight until I got home. I also took mints and sucked on them and did breathing exercises. I have IBS-D myself so I also understand the "flight fear." -------------------- Laurie Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission - Eleanor Roosevelt Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: help with dealing with air travel       #11170 - 06/09/03 01:43 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Hi, and welcome to the board! Use the search button to look for past posts on travel. There have been a lot of them with great suggestions. Take food with you on the flight - safe snacks and easy meals, and peppermint tea bags. There's also tons of travel info in the First Year IBS book. - Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
