Some questions about travelling:
1) Is it safe to travel alone?
2) Any tips on how to travel when you have IBS?
I'm Canadian and have only been in 2 Canadian provinces, 2 states in the US, and Cuba. I haven't travelled much. I'm thinking of travelling to Japan, and then if I travel again I imagine checking out Europe.

Traveling alone is the best way to go.
As far as safety, there are too many variables based on where you want to go. Also are you male or female?

>Any tips on how to travel when you have IBS?
Know what foods trigger your IBS and avoid it.
Wear pants that can stretch at the waist when you bloat.
Take charcoal capsules to reduce bloating
Take your pro-biotics
If all else fails; just know where the nearest toilet is.
I have IBS, but it never incurred my traveling experience.
I've done most countries in Europe, all of SEA, North Africa, Australia and NZ. North Africa felt a little unsafe sometimes but the rest of the regions were totally fine and i went on my own, you just have to be smart and trust your instincts.
You should go to Europe first honestly, i feel its the best location for a starter, and once you get to Europe you can go to any country for cheap on trains/planes. I would recommend places like Hungary and Poland if you're on a budget.

Stop using words you don't understand ffs
op is thinking about this the wrong way
don't go to developed countries where it's easy to find a toilet and food is more reliable
go to developing countries where it's no problem when you do get ibs

Don't go to Kabukicho and never follow someone from the street
A friend with IBS walked the length of Japan alone. It's probably the safest country in the world.
IBS is a pretty broad term. What's your particular problem? Try diapers.
What's better? As a first timer planning on travelling alone, is it better to just go out and do your own thing, or to join a contiki tour group and roll with them?
i have pretty severe digestive disease and have travelled a lot. desu it fucks me up bad and when it gets worse i stop traveling.
wear diapers, eat immodium, avoid foods you can't tolerate, etc. take taxis instead of shared vans so you can stop if needed. etc.
being on a budget will make your IBS problems much harder. i feel like my IBS(/IBD) basically taxes me 20% daily as i spend more on food, transport, etc.
