Brief Answer:
if this is recent then you should rule out infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX if this is recent then you should rule out infection by doing stool examination for three consequetive days, and treat any infection.
Then take a course of lactobacilli like Bifilac hp.

But if you have always had it, I would suggest you take a tablet of loperamide like lomotil just before you leave for your overnight journey.
Please revert back.
