Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | traveling internationally with Acacia *DELETED*

Hi Sun - 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 acacia 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. Sometimes people have acacia sent to their travel destination ahead of time. This way they don't have to worry about not having it and feeling bad on their trip.

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. 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 Colombia!), and it's just never been an issue for anyone.

Best,
H
