Travel Tips for People with Crohn's Disease
Living with Crohn's Disease shouldn't stop you from enjoying life and exploring new places. While this condition can present challenges, careful planning and precautions can ensure your travels are smooth and enjoyable. Here are some key tips to help you on your journey.
Planning Ahead
Before you travel, whether internationally or domestically, identify a doctor in the area you'll be visiting. You can use various organizations to help with your search, or ask your primary doctor for recommendations.
Medication Management
If you're on prescription medication, make sure to bring enough to last your entire trip. Keep your medicine in its original packaging and carry it with you in case your luggage gets lost. Include a typed statement from your doctor detailing your medications and their purpose. It's also wise to have copies of your prescriptions, including their generic names, should you need to refill them abroad. Avoid relying on foreign pharmacies by ensuring you have an ample supply before you leave.
Preventing Traveler's Diarrhea
Travelers are often at risk for a common ailment known as traveler's diarrhea, which can be particularly problematic for those with Crohn's Disease. This condition typically occurs from consuming contaminated water or food. To minimize risk:
- Drink only boiled or bottled water.
- Avoid beverages made with tap water, such as tea or juices.
- Use bottled water to brush your teeth.
- Steer clear of ice, ice cream, and uncooked produce.
- Ensure dairy products are pasteurized.
- Stay away from any questionable food.
If you do experience traveler's diarrhea, take over-the-counter medication and maintain hydration to prevent dehydration.
Recognizing Emergencies
Be vigilant for signs of a medical emergency, such as:
- High fever or chills
- Profuse rectal bleeding
- Severe abdominal pain
- Dizziness
- Dehydration
If any of these symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately.
By taking these precautions, you can focus on enjoying your travels without letting Crohn’s Disease hold you back.
