Disservizi nei tuoi viaggi: cosa succede e come ripristinare l'equilibrio del microbioma intestinale

Travel disrupts your gut microbiome—the phrase microbiome disruption from travel captures how jet lag, new cuisines, and shifting routines can shift your gut ecosystem within days. Changes in meals, water sources, sleep, and stress can alter which bacteria thrive, reduce microbial diversity, and tweak metabolic functions. Common symptoms you might notice on the road include bloating, gas, diarrhea or constipation, stomach upset, nausea, or food sensitivities, especially after a sudden menu switch or a period of dehydration. What’s happening is not just a momentary discomfort. The gut microbiome responds to fiber intake, polyphenols, fats, and protein, and it reacts to unfamiliar foods and travel-related stress. Science-backed steps to restore balance on the road emphasize practical, on-the-ground choices: stay well hydrated with clean water, prioritize fiber-rich yet gentle foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) as tolerance allows, and reintroduce prebiotic foods gradually. Keep meal times regular when you can, support sleep and stress management, and consider carefully chosen probiotics or fermented foods. If symptoms persist beyond a few days or worsen, seek medical advice. InnerBuddies offers a robust, data-driven way to quantify and manage microbiome disruption from travel. It’s built on a white-label Gut Health Operating System that power brands’ gut microbiome testing products, plus a consumer-ready path for individuals. The Gut Microbiome Health Index scores your gut health on a 0–100 scale, based on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. You’ll also see Bacteria Abundances for a top 40 bacteria set, with personalized context on how you compare to a healthy cohort, and Bacteria Functions categorized as positive or negative, with your standing in each functional category. Target Group Analysis dives into relevant pathways for specific aims—think Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, or Skin & Hair Health—helping travelers tailor approaches to their activities. On the nutrition front, Personalized Nutrition Advice uses your 3-day food diaries alongside stool data to tailor guidance, while Personalized Probiotics and Prebiotics Advice matches strains to your unique microbiome goals. All of these capabilities are available to consumers directly, and the same core features are offered to B2B partners.
