Can anyone give me some advice on how best to prepare and what to expect on a long haul flight to the US? I have been on a couple of short haul flights since having a stoma and didn't appear to have any problems other than a build-up of air/gas. Is this normal? What are the toilets like for emptying a bag on a long haul flight? I don't suppose it makes much difference, but I am going out daytime and returning overnight. Would it be better not to eat very much preceding the flights? I'm also concerned about the types of food I am likely to find in the southern states of America. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks and best wishes to all.xx
