that morning poop/air travel
The day before, I try to eat carefully. The day OF, I am extremely careful.
If I absolutely, postively HAS to fly in the AM, I would get up 2.5 - 3 hours before I had to leave the house to make sure I could poop a couple of times before I left the house. With coffee, and if necessary, a couple of puffs on a cig.
Yes, I have pooped at the airport, and yes, I have pooped on a plane. Even though I am normally very regular, the stress of traveling upsets my guts anyway. Ozium is my friend. But I'd rather have to poop at the airport than having gas on the plane - THAT is uncomfortable.
Thanks in advance!

Don't worry too much about it.
Over the yrs, I've learned a few tricks about pooooing in small places. I think most people's poop reeks in tight quarters.
If ya gotta go on the plane, when you exit the BR, and only if someone is waiting nearby to use the loo, simply hold your nose and say, "Oh my, who ever went in there before me, had a problem."
The first year or two post-op, I ate extremely cleanly the day before flying out. No questionable foods to give me any belly problems. And I almost never eat anything containing flour, HFCS, or modified food starch because my gut is too sensitive to those things.
There is no way to delay your BMs.... when you gotta go, you gotta go.
