Digestive Issues Associated with Travel: Preventative Measures you can take

SB 250 Spectrumceuticals

Far too often we encounter the perils of poor digestion, or are struck with ill digestive health during, or post travel. Commonly referred to as traveller’s diarrhoea, changes in bowel motions and their frequency can be very frustrating and untimely. There are trillions of different strains of bacteria that we know exist, however, what changes when we go traveling is what we’re exposed to on a daily basis. It’s no wonder our systems can be easily confused and react based on what’s prominent from one country to the next and what we’ve been previously exposed to.

Rest assured, Saccharomyces boulardii is your best friend in this situation.
