Snowy, the one pound bag is not too big (considering the 3-oz. limit)to have in carry-on? I'd LOVE to do that, then I'd be sure I had plenty when I get to Copenhagen, but I thought TSA would disallow that for sure. I'm new to this whole game. I'm Miss IBS-PI, the latter taking place in March. I don't know squat. Thanks for educating me, ya'll. E.D.

Thanks, Fancymom, that's valuable info to have. Either four or seven. I'm so clumsy it will be difficult for me to do that but I might give it a shot. Most appreciative, Ellen.

Lisa Marie, so if the powder is in Tupperware it looks like just another food item, huh? Not bad. You're much more experienced with this mess than I am. But I'm learning. Thanks for the info. Ellen.

The 3 oz limit is only for liquids (and I suppose gels). Since Acacia powder is just dry powder, you can take as much as you want.

Apparently! Like I said, they don't care about dry food items. And they've never pulled the containers out of my bag and asked about them either. The only time they've looked in my carry on was when they saw metal and were looking for my travel measuring spoon! So yeah, I wouldn't worry about it. Put the acacia in whatever container is convenient for you. And I should also note I flew through major airports like Denver and Miami.

Your right, Lisa Marie!
I went through the Atlanta airport, AND was on an international flight with my Absorb Aid (white powder pills)in my carry on luggage, and they never blinked. They were just in a regular old ziplock sandwich bag.
