Travelling By Air
The only possilbe problem with flying is that you can produce more wind due to changes in cabin pressure, but, by avoiding fizzy drinks whilst on the journey you can help reduce the problem.
- Avoid gassy drinks and foods that increase wind or make output runny such as cabbage/onions/lentils and eggs/spicy foods. Do not skip meals
- Eating a low fibre meal may help
- Empty your pouch in the departure lounge toilets just before your flight. If using FreeStyle Vie Flushable this can be flushed in the aircraft toilet
- If you need to go to the toilet try to go before the meal is served as there will be fewer queues than after!
- Make sure your filter cover is NOT on so wind can escape (if your filter cover is off and your pouch is still ballooning prick filter with a small pin)
- International Air Transport Association (IATA) regulations forbid dangerous items on board. If you are in doubt contact the airline to check
- Remember no sharp instruments such as scissors can be taken in hand luggage
