Whenever we do coach holidays i always end up with  needing the loo .What can i take to calm my stomach.Ive even got off just up the road from the hotel  on a dayout and legged it back to the hotel just making it. I dont do the excurtions anymore so that i can take my time before venturing out.Sometimes immodium can make it worse and end up having to take two or three and then being bunged up for three days.
