Stomaching Plane Travel

Down the hatch!   (Diagram by Indolences)

Although the sack that stores your recently-eaten food does not need to be checked as baggage, it still comes along for the ride.  When that ride is soaring at 30,000-plus feet, stomachs begin to rebel.

As stewardesses have confided, it might be best to forego solid foods until back on the ground.  Eating “a couple of hours before getting on the plane,” then just having “lots and lots of water,” could make the difference between jet lag and a perky feeling.

Of course, hunger might tempt you to try new and exotic foods upon landing.  Some recommend popping a few probiotic pills as a precaution against food poisoning.  Pepto-Bismol can also act “as a prophylactic” by coating “your digestive track like a protective sleeve.”
