How to ease constipation while travelling

I feel lucky, because I’m a rare one here – I very rarely get constipated. I say rare because I know that so many people suffer from constipation these days. I go every day, no hassle.

However – not long after I got off the plane in Italy, I realized I hadn’t gone in two days. Not fun! So here’s what I recommend:

  • 500-800mg magnesium citrate – it really works!
  • 2 liters of water, every day, no matter what. Add a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra fibre.
  • Psyllium husk caps
  • Yoga stretches
  • Avoid white carbs – think white bread and pasta
  • Eat lots of vegetables and fruits – I find green apples are a great choice for me
  • Drink chamomile tea. Lots and lots of chamomile tea.

With these tips it didn’t take long for things to get moving again!
