I am wondering if many people on this forum also have gut issues? I have lymphocytic colitis as well and have to watch my diet closely and it is terrible when I travel. Am afraid to eat or drink until the vacation is over.....wonder if this goes hand and hand with many people?

@gej53 I also have lymphocytic colitis and I have found diet (gluten free) and no alcohol and no soda help; along with lots of water....trips make it more difficult due to eating out.....my gut does not like the frequency of restaurant food, so I find myself packing food for short trips occasionally. And so it goes for us.....but we find our way and what works best....take care❤️

@gej53, Yes, I believe many on this forum have or had gut issues. I had terrible GERD and acid reflux and my local pulmonologist believes that's how I got bronchiectasis because I'm a stomach sleeper and when you sleep on your stomach the acid aspirates into your lungs at night. Hence, I sleep on a wedge now. I try not to eat at least three hours before I go to sleep (which is hard for me) and don't ever turn over onto my stomach until 5 or 6 am.....I love sleeping on my stomach so that part has been hard.
