My Overseas Trip

[f_else]

Hey everyone,

I just got back from a three week trip to France and England and had an awesome time! I had been so worried that my crohns would cause heaps of problems while I was traveling but to my utter amazement it was really well behaved, even better than at home and I only had a day of feeling quite ill and that I think was the result of a specific meal. I am so happy because after being restricted so much in my travel plans over the last year I finally got to go somewhere and it all went really well.
Admittedly I was pretty restricted in what I could eat, but for the record France has the best bread I have ever tasted (and I ate a lot of it!). Anyways, just thought I would spread my good experience to all my crohns buddies and for the record I would recommend both England and France (especially) as great travel destinations for us crohnies.

I hope everyone is feeling good (or as good as possible) and happy holidays!

So happy for you! What an accomplishment, travelling successfully when you've had such a challenging year.

That's fantastic! Personally, I feel better when I am on travelling than when I am home, even though I eat whatever I want when I'm on vacation. I think it's the lack of everyday stress that makes me feel good. Hopefully it's the same for you and you'll continue to enjoy your travels.

AH, I am so jealous! I would love to be on a hot white sandy beach near sea blue water.. I did once 11 years ago, time for me to get back there! So glad your crohn's behaved! Kudo's!~

Think about you ate or drank differently on your trip and assume some of that diet at home. It may be you drank less pop or alcohol, or different food diet. The key is the diet! Change what you have been doing and you will see change! Go for it!
