Last minute concern - we leave for for Europe in two days!
Laying in bed last night, we started wondering - with a nine hour difference in time zones, will we have difficulty changing our BM from AM to PM?
Are we losing it after all these preparations?
At least we are not going to the southern hemisphere where the water swirls backwards.
VS :-"

Ira - I like puzzles and will take your response with on the plane in order to try to solve it (or it may help in those times when I am pondering my own question). Thanks.
Dukey, you caught me in a half-truth, as I was actually on the throne and DW was in bed. I thought at first I might be able to make it look like it was my DW that was concerned. Oh well.

It might be odd,but I will think about you when I am there - thanks for posting your trip report.
Also, I expect your prognostication to be true.
Arrivederci

Patterns of bowel movements are highly individual, as is the speed with which they can be modified. People with diurnal patterns may see them change gradually over time (several days or longer). Patterns that extend over periods greater than hours or days probably won't be affected.
I don't see anything silly about the subject, as going to the toilet is a disagreeable but necessary part of any trip.
The astronauts had to worry about this a lot (although you usually have to look at things like debriefings to find out anything about it, as it was not part of public news releases), as there were sometimes no toilets in space suitable for bowel movements, and occasionally not even a substitute for a toilet. The Space Shuttle has a highly useful space toilet for the purpose, although it looks like an instrument of torture.
