Constipation on holiday: why many travellers suffer in warm weather

Many people notice that they suddenly suffer from constipation during a holiday in warm weather. This happens even to people who normally do not have bowel problems and drink enough. It is a common problem among holidaymakers.

According to HLN, this can be due to a combination of factors. Changes in diet, such as a different composition of food, can play a role. The relaxed atmosphere of a holiday and the stress of travelling can also affect digestion.

It is not clear how big the problem is exactly or how it can be prevented. HLN reports that it is a common phenomenon, but does not provide specific solutions. It is clear, however, that constipation on holiday is a well-known complaint among holidaymakers.
