I have been recently diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and dyspepsia. I work for a UK airline and am currently off sick and have been for the past 3 months. My medical is suspended and I am currently controlling these conditions by the use of prescription medication which is not permitted by the CAA. I can`t have my medical back unless I can find an alternative medication or the symptoms have totally gone.
Is there anybody else who is a professional pilot and has (or even had) these conditions? If so, how do you manage to deal with them whilst still being able to fly?
Thanks in advance.
