Greetings from Alaska when I had to take a long flight I did not take my revlimid. I missed one dose and I did the same thing on my return trip. I also carried Imodium and a depends. So I wish you well and have a good trip.

Hi Wendell,
Colestipol will work. I eat high fiber in the am, or smaller breakfasts of muffins and then you can feel comfortable to travel. Try it before your trip to establish your experiences. You can find a so. A combination of diet and Colestipol by several months will work for sure. Good luck and happy travels. My healthcare nurses had ideas and my oncologist prescribed the Colestipol.
Let me know how you do in your experiences.

Hi Wendell,
My oncologist prescribed Colestipol . I was using a high fiber diet of oatmeal, crème of wheat with nuts , and bananas. Metamucil is helpful. Imodium or Pepto Bismol according to how you are doing. I would experiment ahead of the trip and plan accordingly.

Wendall take lots of Imodium with you. Follow instructions. It slows the bowels down. Revlimid does this to me. Hope you are not so effected by it. Good luck and enjoy your trip. Doesn’t hold me back, we still vacation!

Wendell1970,
Don’t be afraid to wear Depends. They will give you peace of mind. Make sure to take butt wipes with you too. Go on your trip while you can! Enjoy life!
