First Weekend Trip with my Boyfriend... Dealing with Bathroom Issues!!! HELP PLEASE
A round or 1/2 round of Flagyl, when you get back, may be enough to stop the bad bacteria in your guts. If you aren't taking a probiotic, don't take one before you go, it can cause horrible gas. Wait until you get rid of the bad bacteria, then if you want to try probiotics or yogurt go for it. I have a problem with all the probiotics that I've tried. When the smell gets overpowering, I'll take a Flagyl at night for a few night. I took them before and partly during my last cruise w/mom and sister. Plus, I use a vanilla body spray that is a good odor eliminator.
Good luck and have fun, and use a bit of humor. It will help.

Love my Body by Sauceda
I totally get how nerve-wracking it can be in a new relationship when you're still figuring out how to handle these personal things. Honestly, humor has been my go-to. One time, I just laughed and told my partner to "prepare for the apocalypse" before heading to the bathroom. That quick laugh really eased the tension for both of us. Communication is important, even about awkward stuff--just being upfront about your body's quirks will help him see this as no big deal. We all have our "thing," and relationships that last are built on rolling with each other's quirks.
If you're looking to get away for some stress-free bonding (with bigger bathrooms!), exploring a spot like Westgate River Ranch Resort with River Country amenities might take the edge off and give you both a fun focus.
