Gastric Guidelines

[tamaranth]

Things I learnt yesterday:
- I am quite right to avoid eating for a couple of hours before road travel, especially in a van, especially if I'm not driving.
- W H Smith at the M11 service station does sell travel sickness pills, but only homeopathic ones. ("Take two pills. If symptoms do not disappear, take one pill ...").
- When my other digestive problem is playing up, protein (DUCK!!!) is good; alcohol (CIDER!!!) is fine; anything with milk /flour (if only I knew which!) is going to be over pretty quickly.

Things I am reminding myself of today:
- dull bland food
- Colpermin

I regularly use ginger (as tea, in ginger bisciuts or eaten neat), petitgrain and peppermint essential oils (usually dabbed onto a hanky for ease of sniffing), travel bands and rescue remedy for my travel sickness - usually all at once.
