Travel: you love it … and maybe you worry about it just a bit?
Travel is fun but it can bring complications, from your luggage to your body. So let’s talk about those things and see if we can help.
Travel Tummy, Grumpy Gut
You might have heard these terms – Travel Tummy, Grumpy Gut, and Sassy Stomach (or maybe not that last one, because we just coined that one!) – and they all mean the same thing: you’re having a great time on vacay but your system is struggling a bit. You might be constipated or bloated or feeling a little queasy – and you want to feel better! So what to do? Check out the 5 tips below!

Check In and Try to Figure Out What’s Going On
You checked in for your flight but have you checked in with your body?
Before you do anything, it’s always good to take a moment and think about what doesn’t feel right. You might find that one of the following factors is at play with you during your play.
Are You Dehydrated?
In the rush to pack bags and make flights or just get all the bags in the car, we often forget to drink water – and dehydration can leave you feeling blah besides slowing down your digestive motility. So, start here and assess your hydration level – and drink up if that’s what you need to do. Also, remember to pack an empty water bottle in your carry–on bag, then once you’re on the other side of airport security, fill ‘er up!
Last thing: consider eating more fruits and vegetables on your trip: they have a higher liquid content and they’re good for you!
Did You Eat Something Unusual for You?
Trying new foods (or even old favorites like nachos – yum, nachos!) can leave your stomach feeling a little sassy so consider drinking extra water AND packing a binder in your travel med kit.
What’s a binder? (Glad you asked!) It’s a supplement designed to grab and hang on to toxins. That’s why something like G.I. Detox+ can help when food sensitivity or food intolerance jams up your itinerary. (Read 5 Everyday Uses for Binders You May Not Know About.)

How’s Your Immune System Feeling?
As you move your way through hotels and airports (and all the possible germs in those places), you want to be sure that your immune system is working from a strong position. Did you know that humans have relied on plants for eons to balance and reinforce immune activity? Together, the body and botanicals can strengthen defenses and co-create optimal resilience. So if you want to give your immune system a little assist, think about packing something like Biocidin TS Throat Spray! Small enough to fit in your pocket, big enough to give you some peace of mind.
Did You Remember to Pack Your Supplements (Along With Your Socks)?
Your routine will get disrupted but your health doesn’t have to! Make some room in your bag for your usual supplements because changes in your diet and routine can affect your gut microbiome. So it’s nice to have a probiotic that helps keep the gut in balance so it can do its best work – like supporting digestion, absorbing nutrients, and maintaining regularity. Nobody wants bloating and constipation when they’re on vacation!
Need a probiotic that’s stable and requires no refrigeration? Get some Proflora 4R and it can go everywhere you do.
Wherever you go and whatever you do, be sure to keep your gut in mind when you travel. Just because you visit a new place doesn’t mean Sassy Stomach has to make an appearance. Plan ahead and enjoy all of your trip!
P.S. Are you a regular Biocidin user? Pack Biocidin Capsules in your travel bag. They’re easy to take and they love to travel!
