Does anyone have advice for traveling on a 10 hr flight and dealing with IBS-D?

I like your idea alot. I can handle the PB&J, thankfully. If you do well with them normally, I can't think of a more compact, easy alternative. Hopefully, others will chime in with their thoughts. Good luck and let us know how it goes. -Todd, IrritableBowelSyndrome.net Team

Hi ,

I hope I'm not replaying too late to help.

If a PB&J sits well with you, I would absolutely bring it. And bring any safe foods that are easy to pack so you have snacks. I would try hardest not to eat new foods as you don't know how you will react to them.

If you can, get an aisle seat on the plane so that you can access the bathroom easily.

Make sure you pack extra underwear and even a set of leggings in case of the unthinkable. Always have wipes in your purse too. I always keep Peppermint Essential Oil in my purse as well, because it calms a spastic colon and it works wonders on me.

Arrive to the airport with plenty of time so you don't have to rush and get unnecessarily stressed.

Also make sure you hydrate and have water with you.

Hope this helps some!
