    Funny my little girl calls them fart bars too. She loves them. But I switched over to the fiber one brownies. They do not have the same effect.

    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!!!
    Hahaha that's so funny, I was just going to say the same thing about the Kashi cereal. Holy crap it's almost unbearable. It's still sitting in my cupboard after almost a month because although it tastes great, I don't want to be letting ones rip every 10 minutes. It's insane.

    For me anything with chicory root extract in it cause the bloat belch and fart response. It has nothing to do with how much or how quickly you have increased your fiber intake. That stuff is deadly to the ozone layer!

    Be careful and read the labels - some added fiber products use it and others in the same product line do not - so don't assume if you can eat one product the rest will be OK!

    I used to eat them every day - until my co-workers lodged a complaint to management about time spent away from my desk.
    True story.

    I used to eat two per day, one before and one after lunch. I couldn't go 5 min without passing gas. And I would spend about an hour each day on the toilet at work. I dropped back to one per day and those symptoms went away.

    It is on Android and free. I just scanned two "healthy" things and got a C :-( on both! I am totally addicted to this app now. I knew that the flavored water I drink wasn't the best, but I didn't really realize how bad the Kashi baked chocolate square was in terms of sugar! Thanks for sharing!

    LOL Then I would have stopped moving away from my desk, not stop eating them. :laugh:

    Wow, I ate one last night, as an experiment, and this did not happen to me. I'm not going to eat them anyway because I don't like sweet granola bars.

    I didn't have the same experience with them but found them as tasty as a cardboard box. I just add all bran buds to my cereal or yogurt for the extra fibre.

    What 2hobbit said--stay away from chicory root if you are having the cramping response to them.

    They turn me into a nuclear reactor of funk. Try the brownies, because they seem to do a better job. By the way, the best fiber comes from beans, in my humble opinion. I eat black beans, and they work much better than the bars; and like I mentioned, the brownies work much better than the bars too.

    :happy: The problem now is that I eat them because I like them! I'm not really looking for fiber, but it seems to be a 'healthy' alternative to buying Little Debbies or cookies! The side effects are just for fun.

    I really enjoy the FLIRTULENCE on this thread though. . . . it's true.

    HAHA!! Dude, seriously, you should check out my blog for some yummy protein bar recipes that are high in fiber, and taste WAY better than the Fart bars!! Chocolate-Pecan, Carrot cake-Walnut, and Pumpkin-Walnut. And they're easy enough that even the most cooking-challenged person can make them....When you get tired of stinking it up.... :tongue: <
    Hope you can see that that's all in good fun. :wink:

    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

    Not sure what those bars are but here in the uk we have Kellogg's fibre plus bars and my god you don't half fart after one of those lol

    I was leaving my desk to run to the bathroom - 4 or five times a day - which to them was excessive. Of course, these women are, like, super-glued to their desks. I think they only 'go' twice in the 8 hours we're all there. :noway:

    You know what you do when they give you bad gas?

    Take a bath.

    I just gotta say this has me LOLing right now. That's hilarious. I gave one to a lady at work before who said she was hungry...I mean, they do fill you up...she came over a few hours later and is like "What was in that...Oh my gosh my bowels are hating me."

    I used to have that issue with them but then it seemed as if my body got used to them after awhile! Maybe worth trying a few days in a row?
