Reply to "How do you handle gas pains when you must sit for long periods?"

For me, one of the very positive aspects of having a J-pouch is being able to empty it whenever I need to.  I've taken to coughing hard when seated on the toilet and my J-pouch empties along with any gas I may have.  So, before going on a lengthy car ride, etc. I take a few minutes to empty my pouch!  I also limit what I eat to comfort foods if I find I'm going to be in a situation where I can't easily go to a bathroom.  I think each of us has our own list of foods we consider to be comfort foods.  Typically, I can eat or drink anything I want to eat or drink!  I've had my J-pouch since 2003!
