When you have ulcerative colitis (UC), traveling can be stressful. But with a little planning, you can have a stress-free trip.
- Find a doctor in the town or towns you will be visiting. Your regular doctor can help you locate someone in the cities you will be visiting.
- Make sure you have enough medication. Call your doctor and ask for a refill of your prescription.
- Talk to your doctor about a plan of action in case you experience a flare-up while away.
When you're en route, whether it's by car or plane, these tips can help make your traveling relaxing.
- Always carry your medication with you. If you are traveling by plane, pack your medication in your carry-on bag.
- If you are flying or traveling by bus or train, request an aisle seat for easy access.
- Talk to some friends who have been to the city or attraction, and try to find the best bathrooms.
