5 Best Tips for Traveling Well with IBS

Traveling can be daunting for those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but with the right strategies, you can ease the discomfort and make your journey more enjoyable.

Here are some tips to control various symptoms that may occur while traveling:

  1. Pack your own snacks: Bring along some safe, low-FODMAP snacks to avoid triggering IBS symptoms while on the go.
  2. Stay hydrated: Dehydration can exacerbate IBS symptoms, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout your journey.
  3. Plan your meals: Research and choose restaurants or eateries that offer IBS-friendly options, and try to stick to a routine as much as possible.
  4. Stress management: Practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or gentle stretching to alleviate anxiety and prevent IBS flare-ups.
  5. Stay active: Engage in light physical activity during your travels to improve digestion and alleviate IBS symptoms.

By following these guidelines, you can optimize your travel experience and maintain good health while on the move.

Juneteenth Celebrations

Celebrate – Wednesday, June 19, 2024

History of Juneteenth
Over the years, a number of myths concerning Juneteenth have developed which are repeated annually as part of the celebration’s history. Among these is that General Order No. 3 ended slavery in the United States on 19 June 1865. Slavery was not abolished in the US until 6 December 1865 through the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, and so General Order No. 3 did not end slavery, it only made clear that the Emancipation Proclamation of 1 January 1863, freeing slaves in the confederate states, would be enforced.
