Road Trip

Planing on taking a road trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in a couple of weeks.  It's about a 14 hour drive for me.  My question is how can I do this with out stopping every hour to use the bathroom. Not eating is not the answer but I did think about that.

Any suggestions will be helpful. Do not want to turn this into a 20 hour trip.

Hi Andorable,

Thanks for your suggestion. I do take immodium during the day and before I go to bed at night. Trying to figure out what would be the best foods to eat while traveling. Pasta always works good for me, so maybe a bowl of pasta for breakfast will work...

I drive from Cleveland OH to Cape Cod at least once a year 11-12 hours depending on traffic in the Boston area:-/ and don't have to stop any more than we need gas. You'll just want to know what foods/drinks make things shoot through you...I can drink coffee without a problem but if I drink a Latte or Tea I'll need to use the bathroom sooner...so just keep those things in mind! And of course, Imodium is helpful, just make sure you stay up on it or it could make for more output as it wears off.

Also, remember that NOT eating may not really help with an ileo:( since our bodies will over produce gas/bile:(

French fries are a great thickening item...and you can get them anywhere:)

Have a great time!!!

cheese! eat some of those little cubes of cheese! they stop my output for hours, lol. french fries thicken mine, but come out pretty fast.
you could also use the little gel tabs, eventhough they wont stop the output they help soak it up so more can fit.
