Holidays should feel light, bags packed, plans made, appetite ready. But travel and festive eating can throw your gut (and your immune defences) off script: new foods, late nights, long flights, and different water all challenge the delicate balance of your microbiome and gut lining.

A smart pre-trip ritual can help strengthen the gut barrier, feed friendly microbes, and bring along hardy probiotics shown to cope with travel stress. That’s the idea behind myBrainCo. Gut Repair, an award-winning, FODMAP-friendly daily powder that bundles probiotics, gentle prebiotic fibres, digestive enzymes, L-glutamine, soothing botanicals and supportive nutrients in one scoop.

Around 70 percent of the immune system sits along the intestinal wall, so a resilient gut lining and balanced microbiome are your first line of defence when you’re sharing planes, ferries and family tables.

Supporting the gut helps the immune system respond appropriately, neither under-reacting nor going into inflammatory overdrive.

  Gut Repair features two complementary, shelf-stable probiotics. Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast that naturally resists stomach acid and antibiotics, helping it reach the intestines intact to support microbial balance, gut-barrier integrity and healthy immune signalling.

  It’s been studied for traveller’s tummy and antibiotic-associated upsets, useful when routines and menus change. Bacillus coagulans is a spore-forming probiotic designed by nature to survive the journey through your digestive tract; it’s commonly used for IBS-type discomforts and fits well when you need something robust on the road.

  Independent reviews and meta-analyses suggest S. boulardii can reduce the incidence of traveller’s diarrhoea when started before departure and continued during travel, small but meaningful protection that’s easy to add to your carry-on routine.

•  

Your beneficial microbes thrive when they’re fed the right fibres, especially when your diet gets patchy. Gut Repair includes Sunfiber® (partially hydrolysed guar gum/PHGG) and Fibregum™ (acacia gum), two well-tolerated, low-FODMAP certified prebiotic fibres that encourage Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus and boost short-chain fatty acids like butyrate to support comfortable, regular digestion and a strong gut barrier.

A touch of resistant starch from organic green banana adds another gentle substrate, handy when travel slows you down.

Festive buffets and roadside eats happen. Digestive enzymes in Gut Repair help break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates in heavier meals, while soothing botanicals, including marshmallow root and aloe inner leaf, support a calmer gut environment.

L-glutamine supplies preferred fuel for intestinal cells and is widely used to support tight-junction integrity (think: nourishment for the gut wall).

A bioavailable form of zinc further supports mucosal defences.

Travel stress can amplify digestive sensitivity. myBrainCo. designs formulas with the gut–brain axis in mind, and Gut Repair’s focus on microbial balance and barrier integrity aligns with emerging research linking healthier guts to steadier mood and cognitive performance, useful when you’re managing logistics across time zones.

• Start early: Take one scoop daily for 5–7 days before you go; continue through your trip (sensitive tummies can begin with a half-serve and build up).

• Hydrate well: Especially in the air, dehydration slows digestion.

• Front-load plants: Aim for colourful vegetables and whole foods when you can; your microbes will thank you.

• Time your treats: Enjoy rich meals earlier in the day when possible; keep caffeine and alcohol modest on travel days to avoid compounding gut stress.

• Pair with habits: A brief walk after meals and consistent sleep cues (eye mask, light snack) can help the gut–brain axis find its rhythm again.

Beyond the convenience of an all-in-one formula, Gut Repair is FODMAP Friendly certified, vegan, gluten free, GMO free and designed with therapeutic dosages of its key actives, with benefits that include:

• Reduces the occurrence of mild traveller’s diarrhoea.
• Helps reduce the duration of mild traveller’s diarrhoea.

Holidays are better when your gut is calm, and your defences are steady. By combining travel-tough probiotics, gentle prebiotic fibres, barrier-supporting nutrients and soothing herbs, myBrainCo. Gut Repair helps you feel ready for the long lunch, the spontaneous street-food stop and the red-eye home.
