My stomach does not like it when I go abroad - help!

[Anotherrollpleasesally]

My poor guts when I go away.

Starts on the aeroplane - really bad gas. I have to really restrict what I eat.

I took a bloating stomach supplement and nexium in preparation. Didn’t help at all

Yesterday - had a very simple breakfast of boiled eggs, bit of salmon, cucumbers, tomatoes and a tiny bit of cheese. Then had chicken Pho soup for dinner. Zero alcohol :(

Same breakfast today yet I’m back on the toilet and my stomach sounds like it’s have conversations with its self. Feels like I’ve been punched in the gut.

I’m in a nice hotel so I shouldn’t be having this 🥴

Same every time I dare to leave uk.

Any one with these problems what do you take?

I’m the opposite. Currently on my 6th day of diarrhoea. Returned from Egypt 5 days ago

Try Buscopan? Two before flying. One next morning before eating.

My stomach expands massively on a plane - it's so painful! I can't even wear leggings. I look about 15 months pregnant and my stomach is a massive hard balloon. It doesn't matter whether I avoid food, avoid coffee, alcohol or eat and drink the lot. Then I'm bunged up for 2-3 days when I get anywhere. I'm in Japan at the moment and tried the viral convenience store remedy. It didn't work!

How much are you moving ? It is critical for me to maintain movement eg steps/ running whatever to keep things moving

I didn’t know this - last holiday abroad was ruined by bloating and constipation. I wondered if it was something to do with the flight - how can I avoid it please, any tips?

My body doesn’t even cope with the switch between very hard and soft water within the UK 🙄

I wouldn't consider eggs and salmon a simple breakfast and if my stomch is in the modd to act up, I'd avoid completely. It's annoying as hotel breakfasts can be great, but unless we're having a very late one, it's toast, maybe some yoghurt, and at a push a small pastry for me, with some fruit. Nothing else.

I will absolutely try the yoga poses in the morning - thank you.

In the end I pretended it was the guy in front of me as I was trumping every five mins - it was ridiculous 🥴

I’m swimming a lot - in the pool with the kids. Ive not had much gas today just pains - but I’ll be avoiding eggs in the morning!

If consider this a clean simple breakfast - as it’s not a full fry up 😆

It’s not the water as it starts before OP has left the country.

It’s the air pressure in the cabin causing you to bloat and then it has a lasting effect for a few days. You have gut lag!

Actually it was this as I asked for advocado too!

I wonder if standing up and moving about would help whilst I’m actually on the plane

from a digestion point of view is what I meant. there's a reason things like eggs and salmon are considered really good foods but is it the fat content or something? I'm not sure, I just know that if I'm not feeling at my best, this kind of food will upset my stomach.

Looks healthy OP but this breakfast would kill me for the day. I do have IBS and can have an off tummy from just about anything, but I avoid eggs and the fat content of the salmon is a no. I'd try for more fibre and some yoghurt

Fuck you...

It's not a head scratcher.

Talking about having a shit on holiday - every adult knows how to deal with it.

my daughter took these before our holiday this year and had no issues which she usually does.

Yep I had this and we only went to the Balearics. Multiple movements a day, very loose, cramps. I foolishly kept on drinking cocktails and wine because it was AI and I was on holiday but that probably didn’t help either. I think it’s a combination of the water, heat and change in diet. Mine usually settles down just as it’s time to come home.

i often get the same - and I swear by Weleda digestion calming drops
