Digestive problems while traveling

Very often people start stressing about potential problems with constipation or other digestive problems already in the phase of planning and preparing for a trip. Many people experience temporary constipation which is quite common on a trip, due to a change of environment, or exposure to stress. Such constipation is usually harmless but can be very annoying and uncomfortable. Besides constipation, there are also stomachache, cramps, and feeling full and heavy, and the reasons are not unknown.

The statistics show that no less than 48 percent of people suffer from digestive problems while on vacation and traveling, and there are many reasons for it.

Why do we often suffer from digestive problems while traveling?

A change of schedule is one of the most common problems. We get up and go to sleep at different times, we eat at different times, and we are exhausted by the time difference if we have traveled far. In the absence of our routine, the body objects. In our everyday routine, we all listen to the signals our body sends us. But when we are at the beach, on a boat, in the forest, or in the mountains, signals such as bloating, or cramps can be very easily missed or neglected.

One of the possible causes is not feeling relaxed. Feeling relaxed is very often key for a bowel movement and such non-optimal conditions during our vacation or lack of privacy can lead to ignoring the need for defecation which finally leads to constipation. It is a fact that most people cannot relax in an unfamiliar bathroom.

An important factor is also a change of habits while on vacation. Our drinking and eating habits change which can have a negative impact on the functioning of the digestive system.

Stress should not be disregarded either. Some people are terrified of flying or the preparation and organization of a trip itself cause them to feel anxious.

How to prevent constipation while on vacation or traveling?

Proper eating habits can be of great benefit to the digestive system to function smoothly. Regardless of being on vacation, taking care of a proper diet and increased, i.e. normal intake of fiber, fruit, vegetables, and whole-grain cereals, as well as drinking enough fluids, can be of great help.

Here are some tips on how to prevent digestive problems while traveling:

• Try to maintain your regular diet, sleeping, and exercising routine while traveling.
• Reduce or avoid caffeine or alcohol while traveling.
• Be careful what you eat – thermically process the eggs and meat and wash the fruit and vegetables well before eating.
• Be careful when you eat any kind of new food in places where you travel. Different countries have different ingredients and styles of cooking that can affect your digestive system in an unexpected way.
• Try to stay active while traveling. Your goal should be around 20 minutes of activity per day. Try to at least stretch well.

Digestive problems have a significant impact on the quality of life and mood so they can quite often spoil your vacation. That is why you should always prepare well and make a plan, especially if you are prone to such problems.
