Episode 47: Navigating Travel Constipation

Dr. Joy Noble Season 1 Episode 47

Welcome to Pints & Pelvic Floors: The Podcast. In Episode 47 I will chat all about why we experience travel constipation and then some tips to make things go a little smoother. 

In this episode we will discuss:

  • The causes of travel constipation including:
    • Change in routine
    • Change in diet
    • Decreased water intake
    • Change in access to a private toilet (especially if you have to share it with others that you are not used to)
  • Tips to make things go smoother:
    • Increase your insoluble fiber
    • Be mindful of your water intake
    • Grab yourself some travel Poopouri if you are sharing a bathroom
    • Bring a travel Squatty Potty or create a makeshift prop for your feet
    • Try some ILU abdominal massage - check out a photo here!
