Excuse for this question. Every time I travel more than 5 hours in a plane, specially going to Europe with the time change my system goes out of control for a few days. Does any one here knows how to keep it normal.
Sorry.....

That a consonant problem for you?

Forgive my reply:

Does this have anything to do with being inconsonant?

Looks like Ryan beat me to it ;0

I experience the same when I go to the US, I used to think it was the food, but it does seem to be related just to the flight... No cures that I've found so far, unfortunately.

Kick back on those Latin American spices.

Eat more turnip greens and black-eyed peas - go easy on the corn bread and grits.

I'm trying to type here while laughing

seriously though, you poor thing!
This happened to a friend of mine anytime while on vacation - plane or not.

she swears by lavender tea. granted you can't exactly make it on the plane but maybe you can have some before you leave home then again at your destination.

i think she bought it at an herbal/health food type store.

good luck!

Eat prunes and beans.

Eat lots of cheese.

Seriouly, my LW used some herb tea from a health food store (I call it Go Juice)and she was loose as a goose on the last trip.

1) "Out of control" can mean in either direction, if you know what I mean.

2) Can the OP really be unaware that any pharmacy has miles and miles of remedies, both chemical hnd herbal?

I'm afraid your system is just telling you the truth -- this isn't normal so if your body rebels, it is telling you it can tell the difference.

This just affects some people more than others. I do best by forcing myself to stay awake the arrival day until about 10 pm, but that's just me. I don't do a single thing otherwise, no drugs, no special herbs, etc.

I am actually out of sync a little more upon the return than when going for some strange reason. It takes me over a week to get back to quasi-normal sleeping patterns when I go home even when I've only been in Europe a couple weeks, but I am sleeping fairly normally there after just a couple days.

You know, some people just don't want to make a "donation" until they have time to check a place out!

Try a vowel-free diet. Alphabet soup is the easiest way.


Q : What do you get when you drink prune juice with Holy water ?


R : A religious movement.

Actually, the amount of time in the plane can make a difference; the issue is the pressurization in the cabin. Flight nurses take this into consideration when transporting patients, and the effects can go beyond the alimentary tract. But since that is what you asked about - drink plenty of water, perhaps eat an extra salad or two, and do some walking. I generally avoid recommending harsh stimulants which can create more problems than they solve. And remember that even though you have re-set your watch, your innards are still operating on home base time and may well need a few days to adjust.

Would it be possible for miguel to let us know when and where he will be at any given time?
I, for one, would like to be somewhere else when his Vowels go out of control.

Scarlett, your post made weird visions dance in my head: "bowel alerts" being issued and sirens going off all over Paris. The panic and confusion was awful - frantic crowds fleeing the city for higher ground!

Try adding fish oil supplements.

Do you think Vanna White could be a spokesmodel for this movement?

degas, I am happy to know that I am causing weird visions to dance in your head

If Vanna White cannot do it, why don't we nominate Katie Couric and really upset some people LOL
