I always seem to get an upset stomach when I come to Florida, it is not something that I normally suffer from and I am always careful what I eat when at WDW (ie nothing that I would not normally eat at home).
Last year I think that I visited every restroom at MGM often in a hurry!.
Any advice would be welcome as it is a shame when some days of your holiday are spoilt.
Ah, Welcome to my niiiiiightmaaaare,
Yeah, I suffer from IBS, emotionally triggered. Actually, there's some foods that'll occasionally do it, but that's besides the point.
I get way too excited/nervous when I go to disney, so I tend to get it somewhat bad there for at LEAST the first day.
Carry Immodium with you. Don't get the chewable tablets cuz they're gross. Watch HOW MUCH you take though, as too much will sort of make it hard for you to go AT ALL, if you catch my drift. When you start to get the grumbles, take the dose and that should do it for the rest of the day. Even if you go back to the little boy's room, rest assured you'll probably feel ill for a little bit and then feel better a short time afterwards.
Take it slow. Relax. Try not to do anything that'll stress you out a good deal. Eat gentle foods (i.e. avoid anything SAUCE-heavy, at least during. After you feel better it should be fine).
Water. Hydrate as much as you can.
....oh, and eating cold things/Itzakadoozies sorta helps me, but I think that's more of a soothing, psychological thing than it is medical.
EDIT:
Oops, didn't mean to contradict that advice above about the Chewables. By all means, if they do it for you go head. I just find them a bit chalky for my taste and they end up making me more upset than I was before.
