I used to think it was just me, but it turns out a lot of people experience this. Whenever I travel, it’s like I stop pooping, even though I’m eating just as often and in the same portions. I get that travel can change your diet, but even in my home country, I used to order takeouts a lot, and would still have a regular bowel movement. The only major difference is maybe walking more during vacation, but wouldn’t that actually help with digestion? How does your body, or more specifically, your digestive system, just know everytime?
