I am determined to get well and beat my stomach problems once and for all. I thought of the idea of making a survival bag to take with me. I'd put teas, peppermint capsules (if I can find some gelatine-free ones) and a little pot with oats in it, perhaps some pretty neutral cereal bars, and the food journal I am starting. Does that sound nerdy or what?!

As I'm starting a job soon that requires a minimal amount of travelling, which will require a survival bag!! Do you know where you can get Oats that you can just do with a boiled kettle coz all the ones I've seen are microwavable only??

Go ahead, call me a nerd too! Hehe.
Any time I leave the house, I take the following in a bag:
- A couple safe snacks, usually a Luna bar and a baggie of dry cereal
- Imodium
- Meclizine or some other anti-nausea pill
- A few teabags - usually 1 peppermint and a couple redbush
- a tin of peppermint Altoids & a few ginger chews
Fortunately, I always carry a knitting project with me, so everyone's used to seeing me with a huge bag hanging off my shoulder... it's good camoflage for everything else I'm carrying.

Immodium and tea bags I always carry - but those darn Altoids aren't sold over here - even though they make them in the UK!! Daft or what!

I take things with me all the time.. again I'm a knitter, so I have a tiny little purse that I use soemtimes, but most of the time I have a big knitting bag or backpack with me as well... sometimes my tiny purse is used as a wallet in a larger purse instead.
I always have nulev, simethecone, and imodium with me... along with a bottle of water and a few luna bars,altoids and sometimes a container of cheerios..
to work I don't carry those things because I keep spares of all in the car except luna bars in summer, and in my desk drawer at work... I also keep peppermint/fennel tea at work and peppermint caps..

They sell them in some chemists. My uni's chemist had them today.

I use plain oatmeal (Tesco Value, in fact) and I either do it in a pan on the hob or in the microwave. Since I cook them with water, I imagine you could do it with boiling water as well- I'll have a go and see. I generally eat whole foods so I haven't tried any packets of porridgey things...

If this is nerdy, I'm a nerd too! I don't leave home without my SFS, enzymes and other supplements....and I've been known to bring along fresh sweet potatoes for a weekend at my mom's when my stomach is acting goofy! I think for those of us determined to beat this thing - or at least live with it peacably - survival bags are a necessity!

That is great news - I haven't seen them anywhere in Bath/Bristol, maybe I'm not looking in the right places?!? That really is great news!! If I can get some I will send some over to you xx
