Flying with ostomy supplies can be a bit daunting, especially with the new TSA regulations on liquids. If you're planning a trip from California to Kansas City, then to Atlanta, and back to California, and you're unsure about what to expect, here are some helpful tips to make your journey smoother:

1. TSA screening for medical liquids:
- Many U.S. airports have a special line for "medical liquids," which is often shared with families carrying baby items.
- If you have liquids that exceed the 3.4 oz / 100 ml limit, just let the TSA agents know they are for medical use. They usually allow them through without any issues.
- You can ask for a private screening if you prefer not to expose your pouch or supplies during the body-scanner checks.

2. Packing strategy:
- Divide your supplies: Keep a small, essential amount in your carry-on, enough for at least several days, and put the rest in your checked luggage.
- It's wise to bring more than you think you'll need. Many travelers suggest packing at least an extra week's worth of supplies.

3. Contingency planning:
- If your trip gets extended unexpectedly, it can be challenging to find ostomy products on the go. Some online suppliers only ship to your credit card's billing address.
- To avoid any mishaps, like leaks during your return flights, pack extra wafers, pouches, and accessories.

4. Products mentioned:
- Aveeno was used by a traveler for suppository insertion and was approved as a medical liquid.

These insights come from experienced travelers who have successfully managed TSA regulations with their ostomy supplies. Safe travels!
