These tips and tricks will help you fight digestive issues while traveling.
Its no secret to anyone that traveling often causes us to have digestive issues. Any disruption of your normal habits can cause issues, but traveling (especially for a vacation) is one time when you really should just relax and not worry about things like sluggishness or constipation. Throw a few kids into the mix, and digestive issues can be a surefire way to ruin a great getaway.

If you find yourself constipated, movement and activity is a great way to not only make your vacation better (because you should always choose adventure over laying by the pool for days) but to loosen and relax the bowels.
