Since we're on the subject...once I heard on TV that you know you're eating a balanced diet if it floats...does anyone know if there is any truth to this? LOL!

This was on the Oprah show with Dr. Oz, he explained it all.... haha! Even the "S" shape to it...

we can be deprived of fiber ones together:sad:

No! That makes me so sad...please oh please tell me there's something else causing this problem! I fell in love with my Chocolate and Oat FiberOne bar the minute I tasted it, and for 140 calories I want to eat one every day! And they were on sale at Wal-Mart so I bought 5 boxes lol!

you should try Gnu bars... they're AWESOME! They're all natural bars with 12 grams of fiber and only 130-150 calories. Trader Joe's have them, but i usually order them offline at www.gnufoods.com

no joke, all of them are sooo good!!! They take a few times to get used to because of the flax seed and everything that's in them, but give them a try

and since they're all natural and don't have any additives or preservatives, i never get gassy or anything

Could it be that you are reacting to Maltitol? I am not sure if Fiber One has Maltitol in it as a sweetner but I know that I react that way when I use it. I suggest doing some research on it.

I would suggest taking it out of your diet and seeing if you become regular again. Then you can add it again and see if you have a reaction. It could be other food sensitivities as well so be sure to keep looking if it is not the Maltitol. Changing your diet can make you more aware of these changes.

Good luck:flowerforyou:

Here are a few sites that talk about common sweetners that are used in the place of sugar, and aspartame or even splenda. Many of them do give people diareah (sp) and it is good to know which ones give you that reaction.

no wander why i'm been having gas problems these past few days. i've been eating fiber one oat and chocolate bar. yes i admit they're soooooooooooo good.

did you increase your fiber? could also be irritable bowel, i have this and it only takes a slight change in diet to set it off. did you eat something greasy....if you are eating super healthy and slip in a greasy burger or something....the body doesn't like it and may get upset.
