Have you ever went shopping and had to go bad, when the sales person says “I’m sorry, we don’t have a public restroom.” I don’t know about anyone else, but you can’t plan to go to the bathroom, it just happens!
this is soooo important. Thank you so much for this. For me, it is an absolute nightmare to even THINK about traveling (plane, long car drives, anything out of the norm). It turns my stomach. But you are absolutely right. Imodium is such a savior for me I know it's so bad, but I drink 1/2 a pill whenever I have to go out of the house. But on flights it is an absolute must to carry something that you know will calm your stomach down in case of a flare up. I would also take a valerian root just to calm down before leaving for the airport because you know how stress (esp. if you have social anxiety) causes flare ups. Great video.
Thanks so much Karina! IBS can be so debilitating but we have to make sure we control it and not the other way round. I keep Imodium with me but try not to use it as I don't like what it does to me! Just having a safety kit with me makes me feel more at ease! We can do this lady! X
Usually I'll have an "IBS day" every couple of weeks or so, where I'll be really constipated for a few hours and then I'll have diarrhoea for a couple of hours. On those days I'm pretty much non-functional and don't leave my flat 😂 Heat really sets off my IBS. My last holiday abroad was in Tenerife and I think it was a combination of my IBS and heat exhaustion. I had loose bowel movements multiple times a day, every day for a week. My family just couldn't understand it. They asked why I had diarrhoea and I told them it was the heat and they just said "Don't be silly" 😒
I'm 13 and I have had ibs since I was 10 which some people find unusual because I am quite young and when I was about 10-11 it was the worst at least 4 days in the week was an ibs day but I was not diagnosed as such until this year and buscopan has really helped me ☺️
I even wear incontinence napkins just in case I can't make it to the loo. I am going to Italy in summer and they usually does not have enough public toilets. Ohhh.... I do bring everytime in my bag Impulse Body Spray just to hide that smell when I use the loo.
I have a painful bowel that I believe to be IBS or IBD or Chrohn's disease I have seen a specialist and they do not know what it is. I am completely in trouble. One wrong thing and I am in pain for a week or more. I like having oatmeal because I usually don't have diarrhea when I eat it (there is still a lot of pain and that) and it is usallu solid or it has a bit more to go before it is diarrhea. I am thinking that on my departure days from both places I will maybe take an imodium and/or some oatmeal and nothing else to be on the safe side. Good idea?
ive never had ibs in a plane but its always on road trips because there's no access to a toilet at all. i just try to cope with a breathing technique for everything and it doesn't always work lol
Do you take any prescription meds for IBS? Don't say the name, I take a certain med and started on probiotic capsules which are more expensive than prescription meds.
My new boyfriend wants me to come to Puerto Rico with him & his family this winter break---they stay a month there. I haven't been on a plane in over 9 years and I don't know what or if I could eat anything there. Ive never been out of the country. I've had IBS since 2012, but I have also had really bad anxiety since young age. I really wish I could swap bodies with someone. I always feel bad I cant do things like everyone else because of my health problems. Anything you would suggest for me? :)

I had my first ibs will im traveling and now i hate to travel
I need a portable toilet in my car because if your out there are no bathrooms anywhere. It's infuriating especially for people with IBS!
The only nuts that are low fodmap are pecans, walnuts brazil nuts, peanuts and almonds in small amounts of each, and not all in one sitting.
This video deserves a zillion likes.

awesome encourage u to keep filming! :)
do u write blogs on these too? :)
I do indeed, you can find them at josclothes.co.uk
Nuts and crisps?? I don’t think so. No way.. even without ibs it should be not recommended
