The products, like Acacia soluble fiber, are fairly inconvient while travelling. Do you have any suggestions, or can you recommend something in pill form?

I usually put fiber into those itsy bitsy tupperware containers when I am travelling, and then they aren't inconvenient at all.
Some fibers do have pills now, not sure which ones off the top of my head but I do know that you have to take quite a few pills to equal the amount of the powdered fiber.
Equalactin is good, it's a chewable pill.

Good luck!

I buy little ziploc pill bags online and put a dose in each bag to make it slightly more convenient! The bags are about 1/3 the size of a ziploc snack bag...

This page lists the different SFS on the market with the forms they come in and dosages of fiber from each. (Thanks to Retrograde for pointing this page out a while back. It's amazing what's out on the Website!)

Stephie's right that a lot of people swear by Equalactin, but I think I read somewhere it can be pricey. You can do a Search on it and see what people have to say. When I travel by car, I take my acacia in those pre-packaged applesauce cups, which I also bring with me. If you decide to go this route, don't forget to bring spoons!

HTH.
