Getting ready to go on a trip and would like to take my tummy fiber with me on my carry on. That's how much I don't want to go without it. Has anyone traveled internationally with it and had an problems? I don't want them throwing it away. Thanks!

We're asked about this a lot but as far as I know, no one has ever had a problem with airport or customs security. If you keep the Tummy Fiber in the original container that will help, but even putting it into a smaller travel container has never caused problems. Just print out some information about acacia from our website and pack it with the travel container.
We're actually working on Tummy Fiber travel packets (like sugar packets) in a small travel container right now.
In the meantime, I wouldn't worry too much about traveling with the powder. A lot of people have had this concern, but it has never once actually caused a problem for anyone that I've heard about. There are a lot of white powders people travel with, and airport security is used to this.
I've actually traveled internationally with it several times, and have heard from a lot of other users who travel frequently (including to South America), and it's just never been an issue for anyone.

I carried mine in a baggie in my purse with tea bags and stevia packets. I think it probably is more innocent looking to put it in a baggie right in your purse- no one would do that with cocaine.

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!
