There are so many things to love about holidays. The out-of-office going on, no 9am meeting, sitting by the pool while a tanned waiter brings you a cocktail its heavenly.

But if were being terribly picky there is something that can bring a slight dampener to the proceedings. Because the change in routine that holidays bring about can be really tough on your digestive system, causing stomach pain, discomfort, feeling tired or bloated and generally having to spend a lot more time in foreign loos that you would ideally like to.

It's not something we love talking about, but if you have found yourself feeling a bit too blocked up while you're away, this easy course of travel supplements could be the answer to you WC prayers.

Rather than treating holiday constipation with harsh laxatives, which can lead to the sudden, urgent need to find a loo (again, not ideal when you're travelling), We Are. Regular Bowel & Bloat Perfect Poo Starter Pack, 15 is blend of vitamin, minerals and natural botanicals that support digestion, calm bloating and generally help to get things moving. It comes in a seven-day pack - you just mix a sachet with water about half an hour before breakfast each morning. And the satisfaction rates are high.

"Life changing!" says one customer. "After years of struggling, bloating and feeling sluggish and uncomfortable I feel like Im floating."

"A magic product. Im one week in, and while Im not going *every* day, Ive had more successful and satisfying (seriously satisfying) trips to the bathroom in that one week than Ive had in the last two months. It is so easy to make, tastes yum, and I am delighted that it doesnt act as a laxative (I was worried Id be instantly running to the bathroom)," says another.

"For me, not only has regularity been achieved, but I feel lightly energised throughout the day," says another. It's actually hard to find negative reviews for the product anywhere. Among dozens of happy customers we only found one who didn't like the taste and one who said they'd seen no results over the seven day course.

The star ingredient in We Are. Regular Bowel & Bloat Perfect Poo Starter Pack, 15 magnesium citrate, which draws water back to your bowels. And it's so effective that 79% of testers found they saw results within 24 hours - and 100% by the end of the seven days.

Why is toilet trouble so common on holidays?

There's a host of reasons why your digestive system doesn't perform on tip top condition when you go away.

• A change in routine

Your bowels love routine, and it's much easier to get that in normal daily life. You probably have a time and place most days where you go to the loo. But when you're away there's a lot that can interrupt that. You might be in a different time zone - even just an hour or two can throw off your body clock. Couple that with early alarms, late dinners, having to wait to find a loo on travel days (that moment where the captain switches on the Fasten Seatbelts sign just as you'd steeled yourself to brave the plane toilet).

• Flying

Talking of planes, they are also not friendly to your bowels. You're kept in the same stationary position for hours, and cabin air is dehydrating, pulling water away from your colon to send it to your vital organs instead. The result? Stubborn stools when you land.

• Holiday stress

As lovely and relaxing as holidays are, they come with anxieties, too, especially on travel days. 4am alarm call? Did you remember to pack your favourite shorts? Have we got enough time to clear passport control? How do you say 'No I don't want to buy a rose, thank you, please stop asking me'? Anything that's turning your stomach in knots is also affecting your digestion and adding the the problem.

• Lovely holiday food

More routine changes - holiday food is often more treat-laden and lower in fibre that our at-home diet. It can also include richer foods, sometimes that your digestive system is less familiar with, and we'll often pack in heavy meals late in the evening.
