How do I pack my tummy fiber for air travel? Will they let me take a small container in my carry on bag? I don't want to take it in my carry on for them to throw it away? What do I do about this? We are going to Hawaii and that is a 8 hour flight. I would really like to have some fiber with me on the flight. Thanks for all your help.

The current restriction are only for liquids, gels, pastes, etc. You will be fine with your tummy fiber. I fly often (including international) and never had problems fiber in my carry on. I just put it in two ziplock bags to ensure it doesn't spill (never did).

I make sure I have a packet label in with the fiber however I carry it. You have to admit it looks awfully suspicious.

I carry mine in a tupperware container in my carry on, and I never even label it. I've never had problems, or even been questioned about it. I also carry tupperware containers of Natural Calm (another suspicious looking white powder...) and protein powder!

Wouldn't it be great if Heather could package Acacia into small travel packs!
