How does everyone bring their fiber to work? I need ideas. I haven't found a great way yet. I like to have it with breakfast, mix it in my oatmeal. But thus far I've either carried "one dose" in a container or used one of those containers for baby formula (the ones with the sections) but it seems to leak out.

Hey Wayne!
I put some acacia fiber in a ziploc baggie. I try to find the snack size ones. I take my protein shaker with me too (I only use it for fiber supplements) and put the fiber in it and add water and shake, shake, shake, senora, shake your bodyline! lol
Hope that helps! Maybe one day they will find a way to package the fiber into single servings or tablespoon servings like how artificial sugars are packaged (i.e. splenda, sweet n low, etc.) But, Heather had a reply to this scenario, one time, that the fiber tends to clog up the machines, and it's harder to get into small packets. I think that's how it went. Anyway, I'm rambling!
Hope you have a good tummy day!

I learned this idea from this board-every morning I put the amount of acacia I need for the day in a bottle of water (not cold and you have to pour some off the top first or it won't shake), using a small funnel. then-do the shake shake shake thing. I carry it in my purse or lunch box, and drink it during the day. I've found this works well for me. I also do this when I travel-take as many daily "doses" in bottled water as I'll need for the trip. Easy to pack, and no spills.

I have some tubes that cinnamon toothpicks came in. Holds about 1.5 teaspoons each. Great for traveling, work, camping.
But I like moonwillow's idea also.

so if you take 3tsp a day of acacia fiber for example, do you put all of it in one bottle of water? How do you know how much you've consumed before each meal?

When I travel for a day, I keep some in a small ziplock bag with a teaspoon measuring spoon and sprinkle some on my foods when needed.
