@lelia I would fly but with spontaneous diarrhea, I'm afraid I might have to monopolize the bathroom for the whole time of the flight. I don't think the airline would allow me to do it. I know that driving could also present problems because if I don't have diarrhea I have bloating, distention, flatulence, and abdominal pain. In a vehicle, I could lay down in the back seat. I do have an appointment for April 29th. My daughter will be getting home from a trip to Missouri on the 27th. I might have to ask my son or another daughter. How long were you there for testing? Someone said to plan on at least 3 days. Thanks again for the valuable information. You have been an inspiration to me. I'll let you know how it goes. Bless you.

You can't predict how long, but I would say at the very minimum 3 days. Once I was up there for 2 weeks but that wasn't for g.i. issues. They were checking me out prior to surgery. I went up last fall and was only there a day for only one appointment, as it turned out, but that wasn't for g.i. issues either. From the sound of your difficulties, you might want to book the hotel for at least 5 days (maybe there is a weekly rate). You can always leave early and cancel the reservation for the rest of the week. Best of luck! I'll be looking forward to your report. CL
