Constipation whilst Travelling
It can be common to get constipation when travelling.
Why can travelling cause constipation?
Your digestive system may be affected by changes in:
The environment
Diet
Routine, for example caused by a change in time difference
Being in a place where you are not comfortable going to the toilet
How to reduce the risk of constipation while travelling:
Drink enough fluid
It is easy to forget to drink enough water when travelling or during a long flight, but enough fluid can help you to reduce the risk of constipation.
Reduce travel stress before the trip
The stress of getting to the destination and being in a new environment can lead to digestive problems. If possible, pack in good time before the trip and double check all the to-do lists to prevent it becoming a last-minute mission which can cause stress.
Take constipation medicine with you just in case
If you sometimes experience constipation while on holiday, it may be a good idea to pack medicine for temporary constipation. In this way, you can relieve the discomfort of constipation if needed and do not need to find a pharmacy during your holiday.
