My aunt has a colostomy bag and should she fly on an airplane because of the cab!


Question:

My aunt has a colostomy bag and should she fly on an airplane because of the cabin pressure?


Answers:

When traveling, carry twice as many stomal supplies as you need, and keep them in your hand luggage if you're flying. If the water is questionable where you're visiting, drink bottled water. Also use it for cleaning your stoma.

If you're planning on flying, watch your diet beforehand. Cabin pressure can cause your bag to fill up with air, so avoiding gassy foods in advance will help ease the situation.
