This really makes traveling a whole lot more complex and stressful having this condition. At least with traveling by car you have control over when and where you can stop whereas flying you are pretty much stuck on a plane for an extended period of time. I appreciate your honesty and advice.

I have suffered for many years with loose bowels and explosive bowels. I finally found a doctor that was able to help me. He prescribed 2 medications that have worked like a miracle. One is Diphenoxylate/Atropine and the second medication is Colestipol. It took a few months to really get it under control. Both medications are expensive even with Medicare Anthym Blue Cross. I have gotten to the point that I know how much I need to take to work 99% of the time. I'm so thankful for these two medications. There are breakthroughs maybe one or two days a month. That I can handle compared to multiple times every day.
