I travel frequently and am in a flare right now, so I do use Immodium (ok by doc) when I travel and have not had issues. My regimine is: no food past about 3 pm the day before flying (usually have morning flight)....up about 3 hours earlier than normal to get through the morning cluster...take 2 immodium. Judgement call on coffee, either I skip everything, or if I think I'm feeling weird I will pound a small mug of coffee to get everything through ASAP.
I also use Bentyl which is an antispasmodic that calms the peristalsis / movement of the colon.
Need to be judicious in using both, def not more than 2 days in a row due to risk of toxic megacolon (rare though) but don't torture yourself by denying some relief that's totally appropriate.
I've never had an issue using it on and off. Good luck!
