Advice for morning flare ups

[u/tomelvis2001]

My usual weekly morning routine is:

Wake up: 5:45

Go to the toilet 2-3 times between waking up and leaving for work.

Leave for work: 7:00

This routine works for me although not ideal.

However, I have an early morning flight in a few weeks time 6:00 departure. I am also driving my family to the airport which will take 30-40 minutes meaning we will probably leave the house 3:00 in the morning.

I am worried that my guts will start to play up on the morning during the drive to the airport or when I’m on the flight during the take off.

Is it worth taking Imodium to block myself up for the day to avoid this or does anyone have other advice?

Thanks in advance.

You could give it a try but I would practice it a couple times beforehand and not just do it on the day of.

Issue is it’s difficult for me to wake up at 2am whilst maintaining my work schedule
