Hey everyone,
Every time I travel, my digestion goes haywire. I either get bloated, constipated, or worse. 😅 I’m going on a trip soon and want to be proactive this time.
Does anyone have tips for keeping your gut happy while traveling? I’m open to food ideas, supplements, or even habits that help!
Best,
Jad
Hi Jad this also happens to me, gastro mainly. I have started taking Probiotic prior to travel now and find that helps especially in Asian countries.
In India I took Travelan prior to all meals as a precaution which worked for me for our 3 week trip.
Always eat in clean cafes and restaurants, avoid street vendor food (some countries more so than others), wash hands regularly and where possible cook your own meals.

Hi ozsuey,
Thanks for you suggestions.

Traveling can definitely take a toll on your stomach, especially with long car trips or road trips in general. I can totally relate to the feeling of discomfort during extended driving hours. One thing that’s often overlooked during trips is making sure your vehicle is in good shape before hitting the road. Nothing ruins a trip faster than unexpected breakdowns or issues. That’s why I recommend checking out resources like https://www.faxvin.com/vin-check/mileage, which lets you easily look up a car’s history, including mileage and other vital details before you start your journey. This can save you from the hassle of dealing with an unreliable car while traveling. Plus, it’s always good to know more about your vehicle’s past, especially when you’re relying on it for long drives. Trust me, it’s worth checking out before your next trip.
I’ve found that sticking to a consistent eating schedule helps a lot, even if the time zones change. Staying really well hydrated is another big one; planes and travel in general can be super dehydrating, which can mess with digestion.
I also try to bring some simple snacks I know my body handles well, just in case local options don’t agree with me. And light movement like short walks or stretches seems to keep things moving, especially after sitting for long periods.
Hey Jad, I totally feel you! I used to have the exact same issue every time I traveled! What’s helped me the most is sticking to a few routines no matter where I am: I start my mornings with warm water and lemon, take a quality probiotic daily (especially while on the road), and make sure to stay hydrated and walk as much as possible. Also, I avoid heavy or unfamiliar foods for the first day or two until my body adjusts.
One thing I’ve learned the hard way is how important it is to use high-quality supplements and medications from trusted sources, it can really make a difference, especially when your gut is sensitive. I usually order what I need in advance from a reliable pharmacy like https://delivery-service24.com/ to make sure I’m getting the real thing. Better safe than sorry when you’re far from home! 💊✈️💛
