Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | What is it about planes?

Hi all,
Just returned from traveling. Not easy with IBS, I have to say. My stomach is definitely not happy with me despite all my attempts to snack on safe foods and order very safely at restaurants. One thing that I found odd though was how much the plane affected me. I brought all my own food on the plane, did not eat a single thing at the airport or on the plane that was not my own. I brought sour dough bread with some almond butter (tiny amount) and some rice chex cereal. Nothing I don't eat every single day. I don't get stressed on planes, they normally don't bother me at all. Also I think my IBS is a lot more affected by foods than by stress. Anyways, I thought it was just a fluke but now I'm back in the bathroom again after my plane ride home yesterday! Again, I ate only my own food. What else could it be? I have to take a plane again in August and don't want to mess up my tummy before another vacation!
