Nothing derails a hard-earned holiday like a dodgy tummy — the unfamiliar food, the different water, the long travel days all conspire against your gut.
Here are the gentle natural picks travellers pack to keep their digestion happy and bounce back from holiday tummy.
Why travel upsets your gut
New food, new water and disrupted routines throw a well-settled gut off balance.
- Unfamiliar bugs, new food and water introducing unfamiliar microbes.
- A disrupted routine, travel days upsetting your usual gut rhythm.
- A microbiome off-balance, new surroundings unsettling your gut bacteria.
The short version: travel throws the gut off balance, and gentle support helps it cope and recover.
Your natural toolkit — and which to reach for
Here are the gentle natural picks travellers reach for. Rehydrate well and see a doctor for severe or prolonged illness. You may also find our guide to Natural Remedies for Bloating After Eating helpful.
