Bowel management in a small plane
Might be an odd question but I'm starting a career on small planes with flight ranging from 1:30 to 3:00 at day and night ... Just wondering how you guys are dealing with getting your bowel done before a flight to have peace of mind ... Trying to be regular
Thanks !
Thanks !

Not really a "small plane" per se, but here's how a GL pilot handled it on a plane without a LAV;

very legit question. I have found that Green Tea is great for bowel movements. Also eat lots of fiber in the diet. Bananas are great, as are apples and peaches. Stay Hydrated ! Lots of water. That will help also. water water water

alas .... plan for the emergency. A ex-large zip lock filled with tissue will work for ladies and gents, #1 or #2. Not pleasant for the passengers though! On active durty ... this was one thing no pilot could ask the plane crew to clean up
