Friday morning I’m flying to Portugal for our first real holiday since I was diagnosed.
the idea of needing the toilet before boarding ( it takes an hour sometimes to empty my bowel) or during the flight is making me ill.
my plan is stop eating tomorrow plus my specialist has told me to take 3 movicol sachets to fly with an empty bowel but still I’m so stress about it.
my husband and I are going for a 50th bday party so there’s going to be people, drinks, food, party and me not a good combination 
.
not only that we are flying Monday late and flying Tuesday morning early to one of my husbands best friend 50th party. I’m trying to see the bright side of this I’ll be looking fantastic by the time I’m back to London
Hi Martina.
There’s a post
Long Haul Travel with Stomas started by SarahH2
Shes an expert on travel and there’s loads of tips
I’ve got an ileostomy so I’m emptying all the time
I think Colostomy is a different bag excuse my pun
I know I was so anxious about flying but I really didn’t want my stoma stopping me so I went for it I ate very little the day before and drank water until I was in the villa
Others will be along with lots of advice

Oh Goodness me. I’m sorry. I’m really not functioning well.
Yes I can see your concerns. I hope that all goes well and you have a lovely time.
