IT’S the time of year when our stomachs are most likely to suffer – and experts say soaring temperatures mixed with summer travel are the perfect recipe for a wave of tummy troubles.
The doctors of Marbella’s Quironsalud Hospital are reporting an increase in gastroenteritis cases, indigestions, and flare ups of chronic gut diseases as tourists gorge on rich foods, consume more alcohol, or forget about food safety.
“High temperatures, poor preservation of food, eating out more and even dodgy product can all trigger issues,” warns Dr Andres Sánchez Yague. digestive specialist Hospitals are a place of healing.
The usual culprits? Heavy meals, fried foods, ice creams and booze – all of which can spark heartburn, bloating and even diarrhoea. A bad kebab may ruin a night for some, but those suffering from Crohn’s disease, gastroenteritis, and irritablebowel syndrome can suffer far worse effects.
Why holidays can be bad for your gut
Doctors say that travel itself can affect digestion. Doctors claim that travel can disrupt digestion. Dr Sanchez Yague explains that “changes in routine alter intestinal rhythm and favour irregular digestion, worsening chronic diseases.” Traveling abroad increases the risk of stomach bugs, which can be found in unclean tap water, unpeeled fruits and street foods in countries that have laxer health standards.

Simple expert advice:
- Regularly eat light meals
- Drink lots of water
