The Traveller's Gut Guide

Everything you need to know to keep your digestion happy on the road ✈️✨

Hi friends!!

As a frequent traveller, one of the questions I get asked most, especially as we head into summer travel season, is some version of: “Why does my digestion go completely sideways when I travel?” Firstly, I want to stress that if you’ve ever experienced some sort of GI effect while travelling- YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Gut health and bathroom habits are always slightly taboo topics, but they shouldn’t be! It’s estimated between 40-70% of travelers experience either bloating, constipation, diarrhea or gas while travelling, so it’s super common, but it can definitely put a damper on an otherwise amazing trip.

For this month’s Myth Busters, I want to help you understand why travel throws your gut off, plus practical tips and my personal RD-approved travel kit so you feel prepared the next time you’re heading somewhere new!

We’re breaking down:

• Why travel throws your gut off

• 5 things that actually help

• What’s in my travel kit

• Traveller’s diarrhea- what causes it and how can I avoid it
