Relaxed traveling: How to avoid bowel problems on vacation
We recently launched a survey on Instagram. We asked whether our followers have regular digestion when traveling. The vast majority voted that they ALWAYS have digestive problems. Almost as many responded that they sometimes have problems and only very few responded that their digestion is okay when they travel.That's why today I'm talking about what you can do to prevent digestive problems BEFORE you go on vacation. In the next episode, we'll talk about what you can do during your vacation.
Why gut health is important when traveling
The intestines are particularly stressed during the vacations- Time differences and jet lag
- Unfamiliar food and water
- Changes in the daily rhythm
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Flatulence and discomfort
Preparation before your trip
Tips on what you can do before your vacation to ensure your digestion works well.- Adjust your diet in the weeks before your trip
- Increase your intake of high-fiber foods
- Reduce sugar and highly processed foods; I recommend our Bitter or Herbal here
- Drink enough water
- Take probiotics and prebiotics
- Probiotics help prevent pathogenic bacteria from thriving in your gut
- Recommendation: Premium, Compens (for people with a tendency to diarrhea during stress, or people with histamine problems), Grow Acacia Fiber
- Sufficient hydration and exercise
- Regular exercise
- Drink clean, filtered water, I have explained why this is important in thispodcast episode with Oliver Kaube discusses
- Get travel water bottles to avoid plastic bottles
- Sleep / rest / stress reduction before the trip (e.g. create a checklist that you can use for every trip)
- Put together a first-aid kit, more on this in the next episode
- Check with your vacation hotel if it is possible to get certain foods
