Gut Health Travel: Protect Your Digestion on the Road

From red-eye flights to unfamiliar cuisines, gut health travel can be put at risk while you’re on the road. This guide focuses on practical steps to protect your digestion on the go, including hydration, gut-friendly meals, probiotics, and routines that help you stay comfortable across time zones. Start with a solid hydration plan—water plus electrolytes or rehydration drinks—especially during flights, and choose gut-friendly meals that emphasize easy-to-digest foods and familiar flavors. Establish a simple travel routine with regular meal times and light movement to keep your gut in rhythm as you wander. Probiotics and prebiotics can cushion the bumps of travel, helping your gut adapt to new environments.
