So tomorrow we are going on our first vacation since I developed UC. We have an 8+ hour car trip to the cape (with a 4 and 7 year old) and are renting a house so I can eat as usual. Other than Imodium, some "emergency" enemas and my usual meds and supplements is there anything else I should bring, just in case? I am feeling pretty great, so I am not worried about emergency bathroom stops but I want to make sure I take everything I might need with me so feel free to let me know if you have any other suggestions! TIA!

I think other than your meds you should be set. If you find that you need something when you are there you can pick it up. I would bring a cooler of safe foods for in the car. You never know what you will find on the road. Enjoy your trip!

I plan to pack food, there is no way I am eating any sort of "road food." I haven't eaten any of that stuff in years. Thanks!

Sounds like you are pretty stable, and prepared. Good luck!
I have had UC for 14 yrs now. Depending on how "stable" I am determines the prep. There are some trips where I will not touch food or drink until I arrived at my destination. With me there isn't any tried and true equation, it still has to do with where I am at in my condition.
