Product note
Travel fibre supplement (single-serve)
For the very common problem nobody mentions at dinner.
Price band: Budget ($), $12–$25 per box
What it's for
- Keeping things moving when your routine and diet change
- Bridging the days when fruit and vegetables are scarce
- Reducing the 'blocked up for three days' pattern many travellers know
Who it's for
- Anyone who reliably becomes constipated on trips
- Long itineraries with restaurant food and odd meal times
- Travellers who would rather not start a new medication abroad
What to look for
- Single-serve sachets so nothing spills in your bag
- A named fibre type (psyllium, partially hydrolysed guar gum) with the dose
- Something that dissolves in cold water without going gluey
- Unflavoured if you want to add it to anything
Honest downsides
- Fibre without enough water can make constipation worse
- Gas and bloating for the first few days if you ramp up too fast
- Fibre can interfere with the absorption of some medicines
