Traveling with enemas


Sat, November 17, 2018 12:06 PM

Does anyone have tips for taking a long road trip with ulcerative colitis being treated partly with enemas?  I'm driving through the country in a month and the route has limited opportunities to stop in some areas and I will be sharing a hotel room, but need to do the enemas at bedtime.  At the moment my symptoms are so bad I would not be able to manage a road trip of any kind.  Hopefully my new treatment combo will ameliorate things enough to tolerate being in a car eating road food for a week.

Now that I'm thinking about it- how do people fly with enemas kits?  Does the TSA get all in a tizzy?

Hello! I can imagine how frustrating it must be to wait for your entitled return for such a long time and I thought about this. Delays and lack of responses can be incredibly disappointing. In situations like this, it's essential to remain patient and persistent. I suggest considering reaching out to Transavia again, perhaps through a different communication channel like their customer service hotline or social media. If that doesn't yield results, you might also explore escalating the matter further by contacting relevant consumer protection agencies or seeking legal advice, if necessary. Remember, you are entitled to your reimbursement, and it's vital to keep advocating for your rights until the matter is resolved.

Hello, I have filed a claim to collect the return to which I am entitled. Transavia’s flight was delayed for more than three hours. Transavia acknowledged the claim and notified me that the reimbursement will be issued within the following 4 to 6 weeks. I’ve waited a long time and still haven’t received my return. I keep emailing them, but there has been no answer.

Jeep Wrangler is not like a regular vehicle. A person who drives this classic off-roader very well understands the magic of modifications on this vehicle. However, the real challenge is to find the right mods for Jeep Wrangler models.

Traveling with UC reminds me that it's not just a disease, it's an adventure!

Putting the enemas in checked luggage is preferable, but if you're traveling overseas, it's good to be prepared for them to trigger a luggage search. My first experience with that was in Frankfurt, in a very busy terminal.

Picture the stern German security staff pulling me aside, taking the enemas out of the box and asking me to explain what they were for. Their English was good, but limited for medical terms. Finally they waved them around and said "how do you take these?"

I tilted my head to one side, gave a wry smile, and said, "Up the bum" Motioning behind me. Situation quickly resolved, but I'm pretty sure I gave them a story to share in the break room.

Not much embarrases me any more.

Happy Trails!

Enemas in the hotel, ok. Enemas in the car, bad idea.  Enemas on the plane another bad idea.  Put the in your checked luggage.
