My walking partner and I joke Fiber One bars "make the baby kick." I won't eat those, either. I do like Kashi Go Lean and don't seem to have the same problem with it.
Ha ha, that is the perfect way to describe it! :laugh:0 -
Oh man, meee too. Those really tear me up! I used to work in a busy office and I was so embarrassed. It took me a half a box to figure out what was up. (Yes, I'm a little slow!)0

that happened to me exactly! I know that if you're eating something high in fiber that it always helps to drink a ton of water with it. It's supposed to reduce the gas I think. I actually eat like maybe 1/2 of one if I'm going to eat one now. That seems to work for me.0

Well the water is likely to help the gas, but as I understand, when you are eating high fiber you need it to keep from constipation, as particularly soluble fiber absorbs a ton of water to do its thing.
Sorry for my spelling and grammar.0 -
after I eat them or fiber one cereal, I sometimes have to step away and ummm, let it out LOL!!0

Gut2glam,
I have less of those issues when I eat non snack bar fiber, ha ha. Rasperries, or other berries are good, like 6 - 8 grams of fiber in one cup which i put in a smoothie. Fiber one yogurt is great! only 50 calories and 5 grams of fiber and protein in each cup(i also put that in my smoothie) special k protein plus cereal has 5 gms of fiber and 10 gm protein per serving. I also have found some whole wheat bread that I like. Nature's own wheat with 40 cal per slice and 3 gms fiber per slice. Broccoli, peas, bananas, things like that are good. The fiber one brownies are 5 grms per bar. Just check out the labels and the nutritional content on here for fresh foods and you will find things you like and can "tolerate" that are higher in fiber. I do tend to lose weight better when I am getting 30 grams or more of fiber in my diet each day. Plus it makes you feel more full.0 -
Same happens to me, it's because of the inulin. You can read more here: http://www.fooducate.com/blog/2010/07/10/farting-fiber-the-story-of-inulin/.
So glad I am not the only one. I can't have anything with "added" fiber. No Kashi, no double fiber english muffins, no "carb balance" wraps.... It's kind of annoying because I would REALLY like to find a lower calorie wrap but can't without find any lower than 210 calories without the extra, fart and HORRIBLE cramps inducing fiber.0 -
Are you serious! NOW I KNOW, but I have to finish the box! LOL0

Eat half, and see how that goes.0

Haha! My whole family eats and LOVES fiber one products. They have great cereal, yogurt, the bars of course, and now even brownies! Most of us aren't getting nearly enough fiber in our daily lives. I think these are a great way to add some fiber if you don't really like lots and lots of veggies. I have the same problem with the gas :blushing: but sometimes I will just excuse myself to go to the restroom and do what I have to do and get back to work! I also suggest eating them around 2 or 3pm so you are home before it starts taking effect. We make a joke out of it in my house. When someone farts we just say "Sounds like someone got their fiber today!"
Its happens. fiber is good for you!0 -
We call them "fart one" bars.0
-
...just fart... everybody farts...0

They are delicious.....but you do need to think about where you will be situated a few hours later. :-)0

The kelloggs fiber bars tear my stomach up SO bad but Ive heard a few people say just stick with it and it will subside and even go away completely after a while. Has anyone else stuck it out and noticed it get better on their stomach?? If I have hope this eventually wont be an everyday issue, Ill just wait it out til my body gets used to it...0

Kellogg’s Fiber Plus are soooooooooooo much better! They are bigger, tastier and real unlike the shiny weird Fiber One bars. I don't know it they'll make you less gassy but I just wanted to comment that Fiber Plus Rules, Fiber One drools!!!!! LOL!
The Fiber Plus bars taste good but at least for me they are soooo much worse than the Fiber One bars. The Fiber One bars I can handle without a problem (and to me taste ok). While the Fiber Plus bars taste better within an hour or two I'm cramping, bad gas, and heading to the ladies room.0 -
I have the SAME problem (which reminds me that I forgot to bring one today! :grumble: ). When I was PG it would take me 2-3 days to get over eating one! But they're so dang good! LOL0

Ditch the glorified candy bars and opt for fresh fruits and veggies to get your fiber. Quest Protein bars are my "go to" bar. Minimal ingredients, packed with protein and fiber, low carb, gluten free. And the quality of fiber and ingredients in your bars make all the difference. Quest bars have 17/18g of high quality fiber that DO NOT upset the stomach. I've eaten up to 5 bars in single day (don't ask!) and have never had an issue. Compare the ingredients list and you will see! :flowerforyou:0

I have the exact opposite experience. I can eat Fiber One anything with no problem. I ate a Fiber Plus bar once. Luckily it was right before I left work so I didn't subject anyone else to the misery. But I almost had to abandon my car on the way home.0 -

No, I didn't get used to it. But I'm glad to finally see what my wife was trying to describe:happy:
I have to admit to a brainless span of my life(guy thing?). I used to eat 2 or more of those bars a day for over 6 months, loved them. I never put 2 and 2 together over that entire time that the bars may have been the cause of said baby simulation (triplets at least). Someone mentioned it one day and I read up on it, stopped eating them, and life got a lot less hazardous. I guess I have to find a different way to get the fiber since my body didn't get used to the bars in 6 months.0
