Agree with this. And because doing a "number 2"
is really not very pleasant on a flight, I think there is a tendency (for me, anyway) to try to avoid it, which can lead to being "bunged up".
After a long flight I often experience a significant diuresis. Does anyone else have this? I can think of no physiological reason for it, especially given that, if anything, I am likely to be dehydrated rather than over-hydrated.
