Fiber One AKA Fart Bars

YES! Had to stop buying them. They taste great ... but not worth it.

My husband and I eat one most mornings for work. Never had a problem.

Do you normally eat a high fiber diet? If not, easing into it will help...jumping in right away with higher fiber often causes flatulence. Raising your fiber intake by a few grams every few days might work better.

Don't get me started. Holy mother of gas! I have heard that the ingredient inulin is the culprit (I may have that spelled wrong, but MFP's spellcheck isn't underlining it ...) If you've go the toots from FIber One's, look out for that ingredient in other bars and STAY AWAY.

I bought a box after my boyfriend suggested them to help me feel full after a snack and oh dear god do I regret eating that one bar. My stomach hurt so bad, I was curled up in the fetal position on the verge of tears. I thought I was going to die. And I thought the once a month cramps were bad - I'd take those any day of the week over the pain that the FiberOne bar gave me. It's more than likely because your body isn't used to the high fiber content, and then you give it a decent amount, and it freaks out going "what in the world are you doing to me?!" So no, you're not alone in that at all. Needless to say, the box is still sitting in the cupboard. Untouched. I sure know that I won't eat them again.

Yes, Fiber One bars do that to me also but the worst product for me is the Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal. It really gets me going! LOL!!!

My husband eats a lot of granola bars, and one day I saw he had Fiber 1 Bars (Fibre is spelled like this in Canada, though). I had heard everyone talking about Fiber One bars on MFP, so I was like, "I gotta try one of these and see what all the fuss is about", even though I don't usually eat granola bars. I tried it and it was very tasty, like a candy bar, but not too sweet. And I did not have this problem at all. But, I eat a lot of fruit and veggies, so the Fiber One bar has a lot less fiber than I am used to eating in a fruit or a veggie. I've had inulin in other snacks as well and no problems with that. Sorry, I can't add to the main point of this post, and instead I am rambling about fiber one bars.

But, we have some still, so now I want to eat one as an experiment to see what happens.

Also, the ones we have are 150 calories.

I did it!! I ate one!! So far no problems...

Glad I didn't buy them like started too! Don't drink prune juice for fiber, it is much worse. The bathroom will be your friend for an entire day!

OMG that is sooooo funny! lol!! I was totally hooked on those .I think they were the Extra Fiber bars! We also nickname them Fartbars and had to stop buying them when my sister burned her butt using too much Lemon airfreshner! Bwuahhhhhhh!

Arent' there only like 5g of fiber in them? That's how many were in the bar I had. My lunch has more fiber than that bar.:huh:

The oats and chocolate bars have 9 grams.

My kid (who is very entertained by the musical effect) begs me to buy them. I can't touch the smelly suckers.

Yep. It gave me really bad stomach pains too and made me cry. Never eating them again.

Ok my wife had the bright idea of buying me fiber one bars! Well they should change the name to fart bars because Holy Moses I cant even stand myself. Has anyone else had this happen? And GO

Bwahahahaha! That is exactly what they were called in my house. I say "were" because they are BANNED here now...the kids were having a little too much fun eating them and I couldnt take it. LOL.

^yup. Only on the ingredient list it's Chicory Root, which can act as a mild laxative, lol, which helps with the fartability! I count fiber along with calories, and try to eat around 30ish grams a day, but in the beginning it was not pleasant
I do love the fiber one bars and brownies, though

^^^^^^agree^^^^^^. I have also read it isnt so much the fiber as the chickory root(I eat other high fiber things with no problems). Also agree the 90 brownies are really good...without the nasty side effects like the fiber one bars.
