Pages: 1 Taking Acacia powder on aeroplanes...       #211955 - 09/09/05 07:18 AM Edit Reply Quote WelshLady Reged: 08/25/04 Posts: 23 I'm thinking of making a trip to the U.S. next April and need to bring my Acacia with me... but I'm concerned about entering the country with a suspicious looking white powder! I've read other threads a while ago which suggested carrying the Acacia in its original packet in the checked-in luggage? Is there a chance that the Acacia tablets will be developed by that time? Thanks P.S. Am hoping to see New York City, Boston and New England, provided my stomach behaves!

Just a thought. It worked great for me and I had the same exact fear! -------------------- God is Faithful!

I traveled this summer, and brought in a large baggie some vanilla protein powder. They just scanned it with this thingly at security to see if it was chemical I guess. Anyway, it was no problem. Just in case though, I might pack some extra in your checked luggage.

I had one in my purse and one in my carry on. And of course I got back in with some of it too. -------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages: "You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
