    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!

    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...

    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.

    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! LOL

    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:

    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.

    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:

    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.

    True. But my 3 year old watches Shreck a lot, and to quote him about a smell in the air "Donkey, if it was me you'd be dead!".

    It's not polite to kill your co-workers.

    I used to eat the fiber one chocolate bars for snacks at work. I can't eat them anymore.

    Those tear up my stomach. They give me gas, but while I'm at work, I can't release the gas because that would be embarassing. So I "hold" it, and when I do that, my stomach hurts the rest of the day.

    The same thing happened when I had a bowl of Kashi go lean crunch cereal.

    Maybe my body isn't used to that much fiber? I dunno, but it's a shame that I can't enjoy the fiber one bars.


    I have had the same issues with the same 2 foods you mentioned. Worse with the Kashi.....i am wondering if you took a gas pill before you ate them or right after? The fiber 1 brownies are sooo good.

    I have never had a problem with Fiber One anything. Just lucky, I guess.
