Travelling with Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome

Travelling with cyclical vomiting syndrome may require a little more preparation, but for many people it doesn’t mean putting holiday plans on hold. Cyclical vomiting syndrome is a condition characterised by recurring episodes of severe nausea and vomiting with periods of normal health in between. It affects a small number of people in the UK and is considered relatively rare. While symptoms can vary, many individuals successfully manage their condition through medication or ongoing care.

Travelling with a medical condition can take a little extra planning, but if your condition is stable and you’ve spoken with your doctor, there’s often no reason you can’t still enjoy a holiday abroad.

Having the right travel insurance in place can help to cover:

• Emergency medical treatment if your condition worsens during your trip
• Hospital stays and related medical expenses abroad
• Medical repatriation to the UK if further treatment is needed
• Cancellation costs if you have to cancel your trip for medical reasons

Travel advice for people with a digestive condition

• Ensure you have enough medication for the duration of your trip
• Stick to familiar foods where possible if your condition is diet-related
• Plan your travel schedule so you can take breaks if needed
• Check local healthcare facilities before travelling

During the quote process, we will ask about any pre-existing medical conditions, and where relevant, you may need to declare CVS on the policy.

Many travellers with existing medical conditions can still arrange travel insurance. The level of cover we can offer varies depending on the details of your diagnosis and how your condition is currently managed. Being honest and accurate when completing your medical declaration helps us to bring forward the most suitable cover options.
