How to handle a travel tum

Going away can be a recipe for an upset digestive system - and it's not just food poisoning you need to look out for...

- 

Many of us will suffer from an uncomfortable tummy while we are away on holiday - bloating, constipation and diarrhoea are incredibly common at this time. Changes in time zones and body clocks, hydration levels, routine and food and drink choices may all play a part.

Staying hydrated is important for a healthy digestive system, whether you are home or away. Ensuring you drink two to three litres of water a day (especially if in hotter climes) is crucial to keep your bowels regular and prevent constipation. Try to avoid substituting your fluid intake for alcohol, which can worsen dehydration.
