Just managed to catch up this morning - great show guys. Was helping a colleague from Czech Republic move to Scotland. Not sure if before i started it was covered but what about traveling with a stoma - be it train, car or plane ?

Travelling by plane or train is easy enough. Just about prepping and making sure you have a kit with you for the just in case moments X

Yes I am quite confident travelling and have flown once so far since in my stoma surgery in November and about to fly again to Portugal and later in the year to Mexico. Just thought people might find it useful. Like thinking about length of journey, possible spare clothes, process at airport - security etc, lanyards for those he feel they want to use/would help, things to consider on the plane, different climates, higher risk of dehydration, using toilets - eg on planes or trains that are smaller etc - sorry comment should have been clearer - was suggestion for a future topic as requested by Rachel x
