Takeaways

  • Keep fiber steady enough to avoid the all-or-nothing swing.
  • If a day is already GI fragile, lower the risk with simpler carbs and fewer irritants.
  • Use low-FODMAP style meals when symptoms are the limiting factor.

Why this matters

Travel can make digestion the bottleneck. A small adjustment in food selection can save the whole day.
