Unfortunately, they are still saying you can only bring small amounts of liquid meds, etc. 3 oz. or less according to the NY Times. I have yet to see Boost or Ensure sold at airport stores, so for those of us who are dysphagic that basically means we can live on overpriced juices we buy in the airport before boarding (assuming there is a place to buy those -smaller airports may not even have that inside the gate area). This will work fine for shorter flights but for longer ones it stinks. I can't swallow much but I get hungry when I haven't been without nutrition for a few hours just exactly like other people and I get faint and lightheaded (and easily nauseated) if that goes on for too long. Obviously, if I want to fly anywhere really far I'll have to break up the flight with stops on the way.

I'm still not happy and I still think if they won't let you take Boost on boatrd when you have a PEG tube (easy enough to verify if they want, just like having a baby that needs formula) it's a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act--no one else is being told they can't eat! I know some people have said they've gotten on board with a can of Boost or Ensure and a doctor's note(which is still not a full meal but a little better). I guess I'll believe this works when no one is given a hassle.
