help, I have a stomach bug and I'm going on a trip →[More:]I'm flying to Florida tomorrow with my mom and stepdad to visit an ill grandparent. I know from experience that this kind of bug is minor and temporary, but I am loathe to fly like this (and I already feel sorry for my fellow passengers). What would you do? Guzzle a bottle of Imodium? I have to pack and stuff today so I can't really lay low. :(

Try thin slices of ginger. Crystallized ginger, if you can get or make it; but ginger in the raw will settle an angry stomach just as well, if less palatably.

This is the kind of question I go straight to a pharmacist for an answer.

OK, I have to go to Walgreens later for unrelated reasons anyway.
