How can i avoid constipation on the plane?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I generally: recommend for an average non flying day 80-00 oz caffeine free/alcohol free fluid daily. Then for every hour in a plane and doors are shut, whether at the gate, on the runway or at 40 thousand feet, add an additional 20 oz per hour to the average requirement. This will also markedly reduce jet lag as well if flying over seas
