使用Crohn的无限携带的方式旅行

大流行发生了很多东西，并非最重要的是我们旅行的方式。如果克罗恩和结肠炎基金会表示，如果您的克罗恩导致免疫系统弱化弱化免疫系统，它会使您的Covid-19并发症的风险更高。您可能希望重新思考您的旅行，或者至少采取重大预防措施。“拥有额外的面具和手动消毒剂，并计划如何缓解社交互动，”纳什维尔维德比尔特大学医疗中心的胃肠学家Sara N. Horst。如果您确定旅行，这些提示可以使其更容易。

If you’re traveling by car, know where the rest stops are before you hit the road (a lot of navigation apps include them). “Build bathroom stops in before you think you need them,” says Dr. Horst. And if you’re traveling with people you’re not super close with, it may help to broach the topic before the journey, to relieve some of the stress during your trip. “You might say, ‘I have Crohn’s,’ or ‘I have this medical condition, and I need to stop a little more frequently—thanks for your patience,’” she suggests.

Be meticulous about packing any prescription or over-the-counter medication you may need for your Crohn’s (put them in your carry-on, not checked luggage, if you’re flying), says Neilanjan Nandi, M.D., a gastroenterologist at Penn Medicine in Philadelphia. “If you’re flying and going through TSA, you may want to get a letter from your doctor that allows you to transport your biologic or self-injectable medicine,” he adds. Your doc may also prescribe you some “just-in-case” antibiotics or prednisone to calm an unexpected flare.

当你有克罗恩的旅行时，在旅行时散航饭菜可以成为雷区。规划前进的前途是关键。“有些人甚至想想他们在一天吃什么beforetheir trip, because it could affect bathroom habits the day of travel,” says Dr. Horst. “If you’re eating at restaurants, really think about what kind of places you should go to or how you can replicate what you eat at home.” And when you’re traveling somewhere where it’s tough to meet your dietary needs, pack snacks and protein powder if you can, Dr. Nandi suggests.

Nandi博士说，有一个准备好IBD紧急情况的袋子是一个好主意。包含的东西：电解液水合粉，手动消毒剂，婴儿湿巾，成人尿布（特别是如果您乘飞机旅行并有失禁问题），如果您有一个额外的造版供应ostomy。“有些人也喜欢带上自己的卫生纸，因为IBD的人可能会在浴室里度过额外的时间，”霍斯特博士。衣服的变化也可能是明智的。

Traveling withCrohn’s意味着确保您在医疗紧急情况下涵盖。“携带所有保险卡或让您在手机上存储的信息以便于访问，”霍斯特博士说。Nandi博士说，如果您在国际上旅行，医疗旅行保险可能是一个很好的选择。如果驾驶长距离，你肯定想要AAA：“你的最后一件事是你的车在你有一个爆发或问题时崩溃，”他说。

Getting enough fluids is key with Crohn’s since diarrhea can lead to dehydration. “Drink more water than you typically would,” recommends Dr. Horst, especially if you’re flying, which can cause dehydration on its own. “Bring an empty thermos and fill it up at the airport after you get through TSA—that way you don’t need to buy an overpriced water bottle,” suggests Dr. Nandi. Another tip: In some countries, the local tap water can lead to serious G.I. issues, so make sure you’re drinking bottled water and washing produce with it as well.

计划A：你带你的药物，你的假期没有挂钩。计划B：您在一个陌生的城市中有一个重大爆发，但您不会恐慌，因为您在手机中拥有所有医疗紧急信息。不要等待克罗恩的紧急情况来实现你不知道谁要打电话。在旅行前制定网络内提供商和主要医院的数字和地址列表。此外，“您的医生可能会有一个欠小时电话号码，”Horst博士说。

In addition to medical supplies and prescriptions, packing items that bring you comfort can make a big difference psychologically during a flare, says Dr. Horst. Let’s face it—travel can be stressful, and you know that stress can worsen your IBD symptoms. So anything that makes you feel calm—whether that’s a favorite blanket, scented candle, or a playlist of your favorite chill music—can be an asset during a flare (and a nice-to-have regardless, when you’re trying to relax).

在选择国际休假目的地之前，请查看该国的疫苗接种清单（询问您的DOC或Google）。一些国家需要在进入该国之前的某些疫苗，如果您正在服用一个问题可能是一个问题生物学对于克罗恩。“大多数生物学都会在其标签中禁止一个活疫苗，”Nandi博士说。“请与您的医生联系这一点。您可能需要特殊许可在没有疫苗的情况下进入国家，并且在以防您要收缩疾病之前，您可能想三思而后行。“

无论你是商务或休闲旅行,经过plane or by car, once you’ve done the legwork to prepare for your trip, having Crohn’s shouldn’t detract from your journey. It’s natural to feel anxious about having a flare but remind yourself you’ve got all the phone contacts you need for help—plus a bag of supplies at the ready—should anything go awry. In the meantime, sit back, relax, and enjoy!
