yet another question about Bali Belly OR Travellers Trots !! One trip I had it pretty bad just before we were due to leave and was so paranoid about flying i took LOTS of Immodium ( as it wasnt working )I also stopped eating and just drank water. Now the flight was fine ( apart from the 14 hour delay...but thats another matter )but when I got home I was pretty unwell for at least a week from the rotten Immodium.I have heard lots of forumites say they use Charcoal tablets ( Norrit I think )instead of Immodium.I just wonder if anyone has had to cancel their flight due to the BB( as I was worried I would have to !!) AND does the Charcoal set like cement in your stomach like Immodium ?? As I said I dont like to take tablets and would rather let it run its course but if you have to fly then you have to be able to leave the toilet !! Thanks in advance
