Hi everyone.
After a hellish few years life is beginning to settle for me a bit and I am going to travel back to the UK for 5 weeks from NZ to see friends and family.
The only trouble is that I am really scared of the long flight (26 hours) and my j pouch. I have had one or two accidents with my pouch but nothing too major.
I suffer from a lot of gas and when I am at home and lying down, I can pass this fairly safely. Sitting up is a different matter. I've also been told by my partner that I sometimes fart in my sleep. So my problem is how can I fly and sleep sitting upright and have the possibility of farting in my sleep, thus causing an accident.
Has anybody else had to deal with this situation flying long haul? Ay experiences or guidance would be most appreciated. X
