The occurence of traveler's constipation is sparsely covered in the medical litterature. This study aims to determine the gastrointestinal-related discomforts related to traveling on a trip to Turkey.
详细描述
Traveler's constipation, which is characterized by the more hard and less frequent stools, is sparsely covered in the medical litterature. Only a few studies have examined this problem and the actual occurrence and extent of this problem is not known. Hypotheses about why travel constipation occurs are, among other things, about changed circadian rhythm due to jet lag, changed schedules and tight sanitary conditions. Other factors such as dehydration, change in cabin pressure and the content of the in-flight food in connection with flights have not been investigated.
The research project aims to clarify changes in the test subjects' bowel habits as well as other gastrointestinal-related discomforts in connection with a flight abroad with only an hour's time difference and without the consumption of flight food.
