Abstract

With the ongoing understanding to evolve acceptance for rechristening medically colloquial terms which may be perceived to contribute towards healthcare disparities locally, regionally, or globally, it may be time to bring “Traveler’s Diarrhea” and “Traveler’s Constipation” under the umbrella of “Traveler’s Gastrointestinal Syndrome” thus reflecting on the etiopathogenetic core which is “Traveler’s Gut Symbiosis”.
