Go Lean Crunch...more like Go "to the bathroom" Crunch

Anyone have any bathroom problems after eating Go Lean Crunch? I tried it a while ago but didn't eat it very often. now I tried it again and had it for breakfast about 3 days in a row. It set my stomach a rumbling!! Had lot's of gas and other bathroom problems I don't need!

    Actually no. It is one of my favorites because it tastes like a candy bar.

    OMG YES! I am sorry but glad I'm not the only one. How about those delicious Fiber One Bars? I call them Fart Bars...no way I can eat those and expect anyone to wanna hang out w me for the rest of the day!

    I don't have the feared bathroom reaction, but I do have the "wow, these taste like pure crap" reaction!

    Never had that problem with Go Lean, but heck yes, with Fiber One!! Man, I loved the taste but wasn't willing to walk around feeling bloated all the time, wondering when I wouldn't be able to control myself, ha!

    It gives me terrible gas. Someone said the flax is the culprit.
  • Man, I WISH!

    I eat it every morning and I am currently experiencing the opposite end of the spectrum - bloated & backed up!

    HELP! :sad: :explode:

    mmmmm I love go lean crunch! And no, I do not have that problem, but I also consume at least 35 grams of fiber per day so I'm more than used to getting that much fiber in a serving. If your body isn't used to a lot of fiber, a sudden increase will cause loose stool. If you build up to it, it shouldn't be a problem.

    Probably not the same thing but I've tried the Fiber One cookie brownies... its like eating cardboard.
  • When it comes to adding fiber slow and steady or suffer the wrath of Fiber Farts... lol:laugh:

    YES, I have the same problem with Go Lean. It's not just gas, it's horrible all-day rumbling and stomach churning + gas. I've never had that kind of reaction to any food before, and that includes Fiber One items, which don't really affect me. I no longer eat any Kashi cereals; it was just too awful.

    I believe the actual culprit is chicory root, not the flax. To read some hilarious stories about Go Lean reactions, go here: http://www.pleasegodno.com/archives/20-1-cup-Kashi-GoLEAN-Crunch-+-12-cup-milk-Endless-stomach-churning-gas..html

    Weird, I eat those at least once a week (cinnamon flavored) and have no issues whatsoever. Usually have them with yogurt though, so maybe the enzymes or bacteria saves me from it? lol. I love the Kashi stuff.

    I cannot stand Fiber one bars though. They're just too dang sweet for their own good. I feel like I'm eating cavity. And then i crave more sugar.

    Chicory Root should come with a warning! I had my gall bladder out 4 years ago. I had a Fiber One bar over the summer and it felt like a gall bladder attack. I have since avoided chicory root until this week... I was awake for two days with pain and 6+ trips to bathroom per day. not diarrhea, just alot. I spent yesterday at the doctors and had xrays and am scheduled for a CT scan tomorrow. Dr really thought kidney stone but blood and urine clear. appendicitis ruled out. shes thinking biliary stone. Then I went over MFP and saw that the only new thing this week was DE-licious new Kashi dark chocolate almond bars. Yep! Chicory Root! Pain has moved from right shoulder blade to low abdomen. Im cancelling CT scan and laying off chicory root AKA inulin. I googled and saw people with GB issues are not to eat chicory!!! It stimulates bile production, intestines and uterus!
