    Hey everyone,
    Every time I travel, my digestion goes haywire. I either get bloated, constipated, or worse. πŸ˜… 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.
    Safe Travels

    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.
