Changes in Routine

Traveling often means changing your routine, including your sleeping patterns, eating habits, and physical activity. This disruption of your routine can lead to constipation, as your digestive system may not be able to adapt quickly enough to the changes.

1

Dehydration

Traveling can also lead to dehydration, as you may drink less water than you are used to, and the air conditioning in airplanes, trains, and buses can also contribute to dehydration. Dehydration can cause the stool to become complex and to challenge to pass, leading to constipation.

2

Stress

Traveling can also be stressful, and stress can significantly impact your digestive system. Stress can cause the muscles in your intestines to contract, making it difficult to have a bowel movement.
