Severe IBS and traveling....

[yomike]

I am a middle aged guy with severe IBS, and I am about to travel across the US, and was wondering what issues I might run into?
I have worn adult diapers for the last couple of years anytime I leave the house, and I have always been able to change in a timely manner when there has been an accident, but is that possible while flying? What about getting through security?
Any advice would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Yomike, I strongly suggest you to consider "low-FODMAP diet" (search online). Basically it means avoiding sugars like glucose, sucrose, fructose and lactose ..one or more of these often cause bloating and diarrhea in people diagnosed with IBS.

Thank you, I just started to research the "low-fodmap diet", and I can relate to so much of what is said, finally a description to what I've been going through.

To yomike,  been using Imodium (immodium) for years, especially when I'm going to be away from a bathroom, in an important situation, in public and under stress.
