Summer travel should feel like freedom — not digestive discomfort. If you’ve ever spent a vacation bloated, irregular, or stuck in a hotel bathroom, you know how fast gut issues can ruin the fun. And unfortunately, travel creates the perfect storm: disrupted routines, unfamiliar foods, and extra stress.
The good news? A few intentional changes (and the right supplements) can help you feel amazing, even while living out of a suitcase.
Why You Get Bloated on Vacation Travel impacts your gut in a few key ways:
- Change in diet: Greasy restaurant food, different cuisines, and less fiber can slow digestion
- Stress + poor sleep: Early flights, jet lag, and being out of routine increase cortisol
- Dehydration: Planes, heat, and low water intake reduce motility and increase constipation
- Inactivity: Sitting for long periods (car/plane rides) can slow down digestion
Gut-Loving Travel Tips
- Hydrate Hard: Aim for 3L+ of water daily while flying or out in the sun. Add lemon or electrolytes to stay balanced.
- Pack Smart Snacks: Raw almonds, chia bars, and roasted chickpeas are portable and gut-friendly. Skip sugary bars and gas-causing snacks like protein shakes or gum.
- Keep Moving: Walk when you can — even 10 minutes after meals can help digestion.
-
Stay Regular with Supplements:
- The Miracle Worker: Supports sleep, digestion, and regularity while reducing stress.
- The Mover: Gentle but powerful—helps keep things moving without creating dependency.
-
Avoid These Triggers:
- Sparkling water and sugary cocktails (hello, bloating)
- Processed meats and cheese-heavy meals
- Late-night overeating
Best Practices Before Your Trip
- Start taking The Mover and The Miracle Worker 3–5 days before your trip
- Avoid new supplements or probiotics for the first time on vacation
