TRAVEL TIPS WANTED
|
I thought it may be a good idea to start a travel tips thread for our upcoming Fall Sprawl since most of all attending will be coming from out of town. They can be Vegas specific if you've been there and know the ropes, and for certain:
IBS specific...........that will help us all enjoy ourselves, without attacks.
And please feel free to post a tip whether or not you are attending. We who will be there need all the help we can get.
OK, here is mine. It was actually stolen from JenX. She made mention of it sometime ago.
*****
"To carry Acacia with you, an empty plastic film canister works well."
I tested this to see how much acacia it holds. It holds 2 TABLESPOONS. This may be enough for a day for some folks, or like me, one canister before a meal. I also tested the little metal containers that diebetic test strips come in and they hold the same amount. (Hubby is saving them up for me.) Of course if you use a different dry powder SFS like Citrucel, Benefiber or Metamucil the same applies.
I think this is a fantastic travel tip that I intend to use when I'd rather have the powder instead of the pills..which are costly when you take 4-8 at a time. Then again when Heather gets her acacia pills on the market, we won't have to worry about take-along canisters!!! Yeah Heather!
Ok, who has more?
