Hi,
Just wondering if it is only me, or a common issue, but when flying and spending a few hours in the cruise, I usually feel bloated, and usually feel like I have trapped gas, a bit of cramping, etc...and need to go to toilets just to pass gas, basically....
Sometimes, it does help and then I feel a bit better, sometimes I am not feeling good the whole flight.
Everything is back to normal pretty much once we land.
I have read about "jet belly", it seems to be a known phenomenon.
However, amongst crews, it is not really a topic we are discussing... I guess everybody kind of keep it quiet, might find it embarrassing...
I tried to eat different things before flying, with mixed success, tried charcoal, not really working for me either, although it is still WIP...
Is it only me, or is everybody suffering from this? If you have some sort of coping strategies or would like to share your point of view, please do not hesitate.
Fly safe.
