    You system should get used to it and the gas will decrease to something more normal. If not, find somethign else to get your fiber.

    OMG! My husband calls them "fart bars" and really gets mad if I eat them! LOL The same thing happens to me! I've quit buying them just to keep the peace around here, but I really liked them.. I would have to keep a bottle of febreeze right beside me after I ate one, it was sooo bad, LOL!

    When I used to eat those I'd tell the wife while unwraping it, "I'm busting out the *kitten*-trumpet, beware".


    LOL!

    lol same here... they taste amazing, but I had to stop eating them because about an hour later I had to isolate myself! For anyone with IBS, stay away from Fiber One products... they're high in fiber, but it's almost all insoluble fiber, which is what causes the gas and bloating! Soluble fiber is usually much better tolerated.

    Add my house to the list of households that call them "fart bars." And we have a box of the chocolate chip cookie flavor of the brownies (Costco sells them in a huge box) that we call "fart cookies." But I will also freely admit that my husband is a perpetual 8-12 year old boy on the inside. :laugh:

    You are so not alone! This is a well known issue and seems to be due to a particular ingredient: chicory root extract.

    If you want a high fiber AND high protein bar (for relatively little calories), try some Quest bars. 17g fiber, 20g protein and 160-200ish calories. And they don't give me gas problems. The fiberone bars are a joke in comparison, IMO.

    I've had the same problem! I love them, but it's just too embarrassing to eat them. My husband works with a bunch of crazy guys, so now he takes them in his lunch so he can "keep up" with their antics.

    THANK YOU for posting this......I thought I was the only one that had this gastorious problem! LOL I love the fiberone bars, but no so much that I want to booty toot the rest of the day. Used to be a joke at work, as I would eat one for snack at 3, everyone would hear the wrapper and get nervous! haha Lots of trips to the girls room....

    Yes!!!!! I thought I was the only one. I had to stop eating them completely because I felt so bad afterwards, and didn't feel better until one or two days later

    There is a fiber one brownie with about 5 grams of fiber in it that won't give you explosive gas.
