Traveling for the holidays? A few small habits can go a long way in keeping your digestion on track — from hydration to routine-friendly snacks. Safe travels and happy holidays!
✅Stay Hydrated
Flying and long car rides can quickly lead to dehydration, which worsens constipation and bloating. Keep a water bottle with you and sip often.
✅Stick to a Routine (when/if possible)
Try to eat meals and use the restroom around your usual schedule. Your gut thrives on consistency.
✅Pack Familiar Foods
Bring snacks you know your stomach tolerates well to avoid long gaps between meals or risky food choices.
✅Keep Moving
Long periods of sitting slow digestion. Take breaks to walk, stretch, or stand whenever possible.
✅Take Meds as Prescribed
Pack medications in your carry-on and take them on schedule, including biologics, maintenance meds, or supplements your provider has recommended.
✅Don’t Ignore Bathroom Urges
Holding it in can worsen constipation, bloating, and discomfort.
✅Manage Stress
Travel stress can trigger GI symptoms. Build in extra time, practice deep breathing, and give yourself grace.
