I have a j Pouch and it has caused changes in traveling. I have zofan, pepcid, pepto-bismol, and imodium to moderate diarrhea but I have always been anxious and I read someone's post on Mayo that I apply to myself every day. My gut has been through all my emotional stuff and I need to have a little respect for it as it deals with the removal of the entire bowel on an emergency basis. I think that a bidet is essential when I am traveling. I have traveled without it and the outcome wasn't what I wanted.

@aileenredding are you finding a bidet helps avoid the skin irritation (we used to call it "taco butt, because sometimes you just have to laugh at life's absurdity).

I agree a real bidet would be best, but have you tried things like Tucks pads or the cottonelle wipes for travel? Or even baby wipes?
