Very good evening doctors. i seem to get travellers constipation..i take a lot of cruises and often get constipated prior to the cruise on or before getting on the cruise ship. what might i take or do to prevent or limit this travellers constipation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drink lot's of water, take along fiber snack bars and bring a stool softener with you. This condition is normal for many travelers because of a change in diet and environment. Always drink a lot of water.

Good evening doctors. My friend just came back from a Caribbean cruise. She feels fine--no covid symptoms and does not want to get tested. We are supposed to go to dinner & dancing in a few days. How would I know if it is safe to eat & dance with her?
