My son and family are moving several provinces away in 10 days. I've always hated long car rides, and coupling IBS-D with a 15 hour car ride feels torturous. The other option is of course flying, but how do we handle a flight, knowing that nerves will kick in? Overdose on Imodium prior to the flight? and then there's staying at their home and the possibly resulting embarrassment. My diet is quite limited as well, with all sorts of nonsense food sensitivities. I've been able to avoid travel up until now, but there's no way I can NEVER go see them. Help!

Hi there

No easy solution but only eat the foods less sensitive to you the day before , drinking plenty of water helps a lot avoid tea and coffee .

Then on the day take the maximum dose of Imodium

Is travelling overnight a possibility always worth a thought

Hope this helps Andrew
