Travel Tips
Traveling often changes your daily routine, which may cause a bout of constipation. Sticking to some basic rules may sometimes help prevent constipation while you're on the road. If you do happen to become constipated while you're away, you can turn to Dulcolax® to give you gentle, predictable relief, so you can get back to being yourself.
How to eat while traveling
When you are traveling and on the go, hectic schedules can sometimes keep you from eating as healthfully as you should. Here are some healthy eating tips that may help you prevent constipation while traveling:
• Avoid eating on the run or skipping meals. Keeping to your regular eating schedule will help maintain
regularity
• Bring or buy healthy, high-fiber snacks, such as granola bars, fresh or dried fruit, or dry cereal,
to
munch on between meals
• When traveling locally, pack a lunch or dinner with lots of high-fiber foods, such as vegetables and
whole grains
• Try to eat like you normally do and try not to overeat
• Make sure to get plenty of sleep
• Keep hydrated
• If traveling to a developing country, seek advice from your healthcare professional
Remember that making healthy choices in your diet can help your body stay
regular, so you can enjoy
your travels without the distraction of constipation.
Drinking water while traveling
It is not uncommon to become dehydrated while traveling—sitting
on planes,
being on the run, and alcohol consumption can sometimes contribute
to
dehydration. Since water consumption is such an important part of
avoiding
constipation, it's important to continue drinking enough water
when you're on
vacation or traveling for business.
