Messed up bowels & constipation with travel

r/

Was in Florida last week (I’m from the west coast). Yes we ate at restaurants every day, we did ride backs every day but it was still pretty relaxed trip on the beach. Had a HORRIBLE indigestion attack while there, thought I was having a heart attack.

Since I flew back on Sunday (7 ish hours of flying) I’ve had HORRIBLE built up gas and X-ray at work (took one on myself at work I work at the hospital lol) shower some built up air and definitely constipation. Went to the doc and she wants me to take protonix for a few weeks & miralax to just clear me out. The trapped gas is SO horrible!! It’s radiating to my shoulders back and hips I hate it. Anyone else get SO messed up from travel & a little bit of jet leg? This is my first experience with it being this severe

    My bowels always freeze when I travel.

    Push Water

    Fiber is a no right now, but try a bulking fiber like Metamucil

    Gasx for the shoulder pain, this is a trick from the Endo sub

    Probiotic shake like orgain and coffee gets me going every morning

    I hope my tips can help offer some relief ❤️

    We call any sort of digestive upset “travel tummy” in my family. Thankfully it doesn’t happen too badly to me usually, but my brother has spent more than one vacation curled up in bed only to feel completely fine a few days after returning home.
