Explore the causes of bloating while on the road or in the sky and unlock practical tips and remedies to alleviate discomfort and enjoy a more pleasant and bloat-free vacay.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Bloating is one of the most common <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/gut-health-and-immune-system\/\">gut health<\/a> woes and is frustrating (not to mention: so uncomfortable) to deal with in any situation, let alone when traveling. But, unfortunately for many of us, bloating <em>loves <\/em>a getaway and can leave us feeling uncomfortable and not our best selves while on vacation. \u201cBloating is the fermentation of gasses within the digestive tract which can happen from various foods, interactions, bacterial-food interactions, bacteria overgrowth, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-to-do-an-elimination-diet\/\">food sensitivities<\/a>, and food <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/seasonal-allergies\/\">allergies<\/a>,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drlanawellness.com\/\">Dr. Lana Butner<\/a>, a board-certified naturopathic doctor and nutritionist. In addition to these causes, bloating can also occur throughout a woman\u2019s cycle as ovulation and menstruation can trigger a bloating response, and can even be connected to physical activity (or lack thereof), too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>While all of these causes of bloating could very well be the reason for feeling a little puffy when traveling, there are some other reasons why we bloat when traveling.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-understanding-travel-bloating\"><strong>Understanding Travel Bloating\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>When experiencing bloat while traveling, it\u2019s entirely possible that some of the common causes of bloating might be to blame. However, it can sometimes be caused by travel itself. According to Butner, when we sit for long periods of time \u2014 such as in a car or on a plane \u2014 or decrease our physical activity (like skipping our usual workouts while traveling), bloating can occur because the stagnation leads to a slower or less active migrating motor complex (MMC). \u201cThe MMC is responsible for peristalsis, which is the rhythmic contraction of your intestines in order to move food along the intestinal tract,\u201d she explains. The body responds to a slower MMC with bloat.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Travel bloating can also be related to the foods consumed while on vacation, which for some of us might be a little more indulgent than what we eat at home and upset our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-digestion-works\/\">digestion<\/a>. \u201cEating really salty or fried food can cause your body to hold onto extra water and cause you to bloat, too,\u201d says <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roxanaehsani.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Roxana Ehsani<\/a>, a registered dietitian, nutritionist, and board-certified sports dietitian. \u201cIt may also happen when drinking carbonated beverages such as sparkling water or soda since those air bubbles can cause you to bloat,\u201d she adds.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Stress is another cause of bloat, which is why you might feel bloated when you have a hectic travel day or flights get delayed or canceled. This is especially true in cases where stress leads to constipation because \u201cbeing constipated can cause food to stay longer in intestines and cause a buildup and cause bloating,\u201d says Ehsani. Additionally, eating too quickly \u2014 whether you\u2019re on the go or simply in a hurry \u2014\u00a0 can lead to bloat because you tend to swallow a lot of air when eating too fast which affects the body in a way that\u2019s similar to drinking carbonated beverages.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>No matter what the cause of bloating while traveling might be for you, there are some ways you can prepare for an upcoming trip in order to minimize bloating.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"products-block -mx-4 md:mx-0 my-10\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/23\/flatter-me\"

id=\"h-preparing-for-travel\"><strong>Preparing for Travel\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>In order to minimize potential travel bloat, experts say there are a few things you can do ahead of time in order to prepare for an upcoming trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>First, Butner says to increase hydration prior to travel as proper hydration can aid the body\u2019s digestive efforts and, therefore, might alleviate symptoms. Butner recommends drinking a minimum of three liters of water with electrolytes starting at least two days out from your trip to ensure you go into vacation and a travel day hydrated.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>If you are prone to experience bloating after eating veggies like broccoli, kale, and cauliflower, or legumes such as beans, or lentils, Ehsani says to consider limiting high-fiber foods before traveling, too. \u201cAlthough these foods are highly nutritious, they can cause bloating on their own as these foods take your system longer [to digest] since they move through your gut at a slower rate,\u201d she explains. In addition to high-fiber foods, Ehsani says to also avoid eating a very fatty meal because \u201cit will take your body longer to digest and may cause worsening symptoms once you step on the plane.\u201d Salty meals pre-flight are also a no-no because they make you hold onto water more and, therefore, bloat more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>While there\u2019s not much you can do about being stuck in a car or plane for hours, Ehsani says you can reduce the bloating effects of stagnation by breaking a sweat pre-travel. \u201cEngage in your favorite sweat-breaking activity such as going on a long walk, jog, or workout class to get your blood flowing pre-flight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bloating-during-air-travel\"><strong>Bloating During Air Travel\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>When it comes to air travel, one of the main reasons why it can lead to bloat is its dehydration factor. \u201cFlying is dehydrating altogether, both internally and externally,\u201d says Butner. To alleviate this side effect of flying, she recommends increasing hydration before, during, and after flights, just like you would lather lotion or oils on the skin to alleviate the dehydrating effects. By staying hydrated on a plane, you can combat this flying woe and ensure the body is hydrated enough to support proper digestion.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"products-block -mx-4 md:mx-0 my-10\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/119\/flatter-me-plus\" class=\"text-xs text-dark hover:!text-dark flex items-center border border-light rounded p-4 group !no-underline mb-4 relative pb-16 sm:pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shrink-0 mr-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.humnutrition.com\/assets\/092e8cd0-7ec8-11f0-9bbf-b16a32b66e89.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" class=\"object-cover transition-opacity group-hover:opacity-80 !mb-0\" alt=\"Flatter Me Plus\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grow pr-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-2 flex flex-col sm:flex-row sm:items-center divide-x-0 sm:divide-x divide-light text-sm\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-1 pr-2 flex\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex mr-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m8.713 3 1.54 3.61 3.46.58L11.207 10l.588 4-3.082-1.878zm4.555 7.253 3.157-3.193c.288-.269.354-.663.288-1.06-.164-.324-.467-.587-.828-.64l-4.353-.663L9.584.562A.965.965 0 0 0 8.713 0a.965.965 0 0 0-.871.562L5.89 4.697l-4.35.663c-.363.053-.665.316-.827.64-.067.397 0 .791.287 1.06l3.157 3.193-.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 0 .388.978c.3.188.697.25 1.024.072l3.889-2.14 3.888 2.14c.324.178.721.116 1.021-.072a1.01 1.01 0 0 0 .391-.978z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4.6\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-1 sm:pl-2 text-medium\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t748 Reviews\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-base font-semibold mb-1 group-hover:text-primary\">Flatter Me Plus<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFlatter Me\u00ae debloat enzymes + pre and probiotics for regularity\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"absolute bottom-4 left-4 right-4 sm:bottom-0 sm:left-0 sm:right-0 sm:relative inline-flex justify-center bg-primary group-hover:bg-primary-light text-white rounded py-3 px-12 leading-none text-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pr-1.5 border-r border-primary-lightest\">$35<\/span><span class=\"pl-1.5\">SHOP NOW<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"self-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Another reason why we bloat when flying is the lack of physical activity involved, especially when on a long flight. When flying, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lizmcmahonnutrition.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Liz McMahon<\/a>, a registered dietitian who specializes in IBS and gut health, says to get up every couple of hours and walk down the aisle. When in the airport, it also helps to stay active and walk around (which is the perfect excuse to peruse the book selections at the airport convenience stores) before boarding the plane. In cases where you can\u2019t get up from your seat, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.memeinge.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meme Inge<\/a>, MS, RDN, says to try plane exercises like \u201cseated twists, forward folds, or pulling the knees toward your chest to alleviate bloat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"81abb2\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #81abb2;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Travel-Bloat-on-Vacation-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Travel Bloat\" class=\"wp-image-36560 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Plane food can also contribute to bloating as many options aren\u2019t very healthy or are a tad too close to the salty side of the spectrum. One way you can combat this is by preparing ahead of time and packing healthy snacks and meals. McMahon recommends a combination of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/why-do-we-need-protein\/\">protein<\/a>, fat, and carbohydrates and says try not to overdo the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/benefits-of-soluble-fiber-vs-insoluble-fiber\/\">fiber<\/a> in-flight since that can lead to bloating. She also recommends not drinking from straws \u201cwhich can cause you to swallow air and feel bloated. Chewing gum is a popular remedy for alleviating the side effects of air pressure on the ears and is often a go-to for preventing those painful pops. However, it can also cause bloat since it causes you to swallow air, just like straws and fizzy drinks. \u201cSugar alcohols in gum can lead to digestive discomfort, too,\u201d says

Trips\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Similar to airplane travel, one of the common causes of stomach bloat during a road trip is lack of physical activity, which as Butner explains earlier, can slow down the digestive tract and create bloating in response. Another common factor is the poor food choices made along the way as many (okay, most) roadside restaurants feature heavy, indulgent foods that are typically extra salty or fried and hard on the digestive system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>While it might add some extra time to your travel itinerary, McMahon says it\u2019s important to schedule breaks so you can get up and walk around throughout the trip in order to stimulate the digestive system and help keep yourself regular. With regular breaks scheduled, you can also ensure you stay hydrated enough to manage bloat while also not having to worry about bathroom breaks along the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In addition to scheduling breaks, it\u2019s also worth packing a healthy lunch or dinner and snacks as well, that way you don\u2019t end up in a situation where the only option is bloat-causing fast food. In situations where this isn\u2019t a possibility, consider looking up roadside restaurants ahead of time and examining the menu for healthier options so that you are more prepared when making a pit stop.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-coping-with-vacation-bloat\"><strong>Coping With Vacation Bloat<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If bloat is persistent on vacation, there are ways to cope with this gut health woe, starting with hydration. Drinking water throughout the day and avoiding dehydrating or sugar-rich foods such as coffee, soda, and sugary cocktails can help you stay hydrated and avoid irritating the gut even further. Additionally, consuming herbal teas can also do the trick. There are some herbal tea blends specifically designed for bloating and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/why-do-we-fart\/\">gas<\/a>, however, something soothing on the stomach like chamomile or mint can do the trick, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Remaining active can also help manage vacation bloat. Depending on the type of travel, you might already have plans to stay active on your trip through site-seeing and other travel plans, which can help keep your digestive system working more efficiently. However, if your vacation is more about lounging by the pool and beach, it\u2019s worth scheduling regular exercises for yourself while on vacation. One thing we do in order to stay consistent with movements while traveling is pre-select online workouts we want to do and then schedule them onto our calendar as if they are an in-person workout class to hold ourselves accountable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Another practical thing you can try while vacationing is mindful eating. When we eat in a hurry, we tend to swallow more air which can cause bloating and discomfort in the gut. To counter this, take your time and be more mindful while chewing food. This will not only allow you to savor all of the different foods you might try on a trip and provide a more sensory-rich dining experience but it will also contribute to bloat relief, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-remedies-for-travel-bloating\"><strong>Remedies for Travel Bloating\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>In addition to the tips above, there are a few additional ways you can remedy travel bloat. Here are some expert-approve tips for relieving bloat while traveling.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Consume natural herbal teas for bloating: <\/strong>Ehsani says one of the best ways to relieve bloat when traveling is to use the power of herbal teas for bloating. She recommends sipping on peppermint, ginger, or fennel tea while traveling as all of these natural ingredients can help reduce bloat and even calm down an upset stomach. If you don\u2019t love tea, peppermint capsules are also worth considering, since \u201cpeppermint is an antispasmodic, so it will help relax the muscles in your intestines,\u201d says McMahon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Fiber <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/what-vitamins-and-supplements-should-i-take\/\">supplements<\/a>: <\/strong>If you experience constipation while traveling \u2014 which causes bloating \u2014 McMahon also recommends having fiber supplements on hand as these can keep you more regular. With that being said, she reminds us to drink plenty of water with fiber supplements as fiber supplements can make you more bloated if you aren\u2019t hydrated.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Pack <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/the-guide-to-choosing-the-best-probiotic-for-you\/\">probiotics<\/a>: <\/strong>When packing your bags for a trip, Butner says to add a non-refrigerated probiotic to your toiletry bag since probiotics can balance bacteria in the gut. Butner says probiotics are also helpful when traveling because they can alleviate upset stomachs caused by foods your body might not be used to in the short term.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"products-block -mx-4 md:mx-0 my-10\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/6\/gut-instinct\" class=\"text-xs text-dark hover:!text-dark flex items-center border border-light rounded p-4 group !no-underline mb-4 relative pb-16 sm:pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shrink-0 mr-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.humnutrition.com\/assets\/11a18000-7dfd-11f0-9f03-1b7d6adea7ad.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" class=\"object-cover transition-opacity group-hover:opacity-80 !mb-0\" alt=\"Gut Instinct\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grow pr-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-2 flex flex-col sm:flex-row sm:items-center divide-x-0 sm:divide-x divide-light text-sm\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-1 pr-2 flex\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex mr-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m8.713 3 1.54 3.61 3.46.58L11.207 10l.588 4-3.082-1.878zm4.555 7.253 3.157-3.193c.288-.269.354-.663.288-1.06-.164-.324-.467-.587-.828-.64l-4.353-.663L9.584.562A.965.965 0 0 0 8.713 0a.965.965 0 0 0-.871.562L5.89 4.697l-4.35.663c-.363.053-.665.316-.827.64-.067.397 0 .791.287 1.06l3.157 3.193-.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 0 .388.978c.3.188.697.25 1.024.072l3.889-2.14 3.888 2.14c.324.178.721.116 1.021-.072a1.01 1.01 0 0 0 .391-.978z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4.6\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-1 sm:pl-2 text-medium\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1204 Reviews\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-base font-semibold mb-1 group-hover:text-primary\">Gut Instinct<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tpotent probiotic for balanced gut health\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"absolute bottom-4 left-4 right-4 sm:bottom-0 sm:left-0 sm:right-0 sm:relative inline-flex justify-center bg-primary group-hover:bg-primary-light text-white rounded py-3 px-12 leading-none text-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pr-1.5 border-r border-primary-lightest\">$27<\/span><span class=\"pl-1.5\">SHOP NOW<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"self-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t forget the electrolytes:<\/strong> Butner also recommends keeping electrolytes on hand as these can up the hydration ante and \u201ckeep the bowels, kidneys, and liver functioning at maximum capacity\u201d which can help relieve and even prevent bloat.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Go for walks: <\/strong>Movement is super important in order to prevent and even relieve bloat. But if hitting the hotel gym isn\u2019t for you, Butner says the simple act of walking can work wonders and really do the trick since walking helps alleviate trapped gas and can even decrease bloating within the first few minutes of movement.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-travel-takeaway\">The Travel Takeaway<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>While travel bloat might seem like a vacation ruiner, there are many things you can do to not only alleviate but also prevent bloating from occurring. Overall, the two most important things to keep in mind are movement and hydration as both impact the digestion process and both tend to take a backseat on travel days. It\u2019s also worth packing a few supplies \u2014 including herbal tea, probiotics, and electrolytes \u2014 to help you feel more prepared and less stressed when bloating does occur, that way you can enjoy your travels without feeling too distracted by the discomfort.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"cta-block -mx-4 md:mx-0 my-10 p-px md:rounded bg-white text-black relative  bg-no-repeat bg-cover aspect-[83\/48]\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BlogBackground_Quiz.jpg);\" >\n\n\t<div class=\"p-4 sm:p-6 w-[70%] md:w-2\/3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-2xl md:text-3xl font-display font-bold uppercase\">Build Your Supplement Routine<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn-large btn-primary mt-4 md:mt-8 !no-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/get_started\" target=\"_blank\">Take The HUM Quiz<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bloated during and after travel?
