When travelling abroad, the digestive system can easily become unsettled due to factors such as unfamiliar foods, changes in routine, or exposure to foreign microorganisms. Contaminants from water, ice cubes, salads, or unpeeled fruit can further increase the risk of discomfort or infection.

While some causes of travellers’ diarrhoea resolve on their own, others — including Salmonella, Shigella and Campylobacter — may lead to more serious issues. For this reason, preparing your gut before and during travel is as important as other expert-recommended holiday preparations. Incorporating a high-quality, multi-strain synbiotic can help strengthen the intestinal flora, providing valuable support and resilience while abroad.
