When you travel, your normal routine is often disrupted, which can upset your digestive system. In this article, we’ll explore the reasons why you can become constipated when travelling, as well as advice on how to alleviate the problem and preventative measures for future trips. ## Why is constipation more common on holiday? When you travel, several factors can contribute to your constipation. The first of these is the change in your eating routine. Holidays mean indulging, and we often favour processed and high-fat foods. As a result, you won’t have much fibre on your menu and your intestinal transit can be slowed. To add insult to injury, you probably forget to drink sometimes. Being dehydrated can also lead to constipation when travelling. The lack of water can make it difficult to pass stools. [A few simple tips can help you prevent constipation!](https://myhealth.onedoc.ch/fr/sante/systeme-digestif/troubles-digestifs/prevenir-la-constipation-efficacement-conseils-quotidiens/) You should also bear in mind that your pace of life changes completely. You may no longer eat at the same times, sleep in late in the morning, and so on. To top it all off, all you have to do is have a stressful trip and you’ve got the perfect recipe for constipation. ## How can you prevent constipation on your next trip? __To avoid constipation on your next trip, here are a few preventive measures:__ ### Prepare yourself before you travel Before you leave, make sure you eat a high-fibre diet and drink enough water to aid digestion. Also avoid foods that tend to cause constipation, such as fried foods and excess dairy products. ### Prepare healthy snacks Pack high-fibre snacks, such as nuts, cereal bars with seeds or dried fruit. This will help you maintain your fibre intake even when you’re on the move. ### Take time to relax Reduce stress by planning enough time to relax during your trip. Stress can contribute to constipation, so give yourself time to calm down and relax. ### Use natural laxatives with caution If, despite all the precautions you’ve taken, you’re still constipated, you could consider using natural laxatives such as psyllium or rhubarb. However, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional before using laxatives, as they can have undesirable effects. ### Talk to a professional If you can’t get rid of your constipation, we advise you to [make an appointment with a pharmacy that offers constipation treatment](https://www.onedoc.ch/en/constipation). Constipation when travelling can be uncomfortable, but by taking a few simple steps you can alleviate the problem and prevent it from recurring the next time you travel. - Tags: - [digestive problems](https://myhealth.onedoc.ch/en/tag/digestive-problems/) #### Don't miss!
