Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Is O'Soy cultured soy yogurt ok?

I do travel quite a bit now that you mention it! Hee hee - I feel like I'm always waiting to go on holiday! We do a lot of weekend road trips to the US - we're 40 minutes away from MN border and 3.5 hrs from Duluth. I pack myself peppermint tea bags, honey, SF snacks on every trip. When we get where we are going I usually hit a Cub Foods and pick up soy yoghurt, bananas and more snacks. We eat at restaurants I'm familiar with - breakfast / lunch can be toast, english muffins, toasted turkey sandwich (a club, NO BACON, no mayo), or a side order of potatoes - roasted, baked, etc. Dinner we usually find somewhere with crab or shrimp, I get really sick of chicken!! I have had absolutely aweful meals away from home where I have had to make multiple trips to the bathroom before we leave the restaurant, but usually it is because I haven't been specific enough to the server / chef. I have also had AMAZING dinners - the California Grill in DisneyWorld outdid themselves catering to me!! I was amazed - roasted chicken, chantral mushrooms, roasted new potatoes - mmmmmmmm.

I also always travel with immodium and gravol / dramamine. It's like American Express - don't leave home without it!
I've been lucky I guess too. But I won't let my IBS stop me from pretty much anything - traveling, working, riding my motorcycle, or just participating in life. I refuse to be a prisoner to my bowels!

I wish you all the luck in the world getting yourself more stable. It can take a long time - for me, this time around, almost 16 months now. But it does happen!
