This is probably old news here, but I went a-googling "Fiber One Farts" because it doesn't fail that my go to snack causes gas pains a few hours later. Apparently, this is a common phenomenon. Warning, slightly off color humor:

I really love these bars and eat one almost every day, but I think I need to find something that won't cause such heinous gas. Any suggestions?

    I just can't eat them. They taste so good but make my stomach hurt so bad.

    It's all that chicory root apparently... Although I've had other things with chicory root that don't cause the intestinal discomfort/destruction that fiber one chocolate bars cause. Go figure.

    Inulin or chicory root.............these are the ingredients I have to avoid. OMG!......horrible.

    "Original" Fiber One cereal and many Kashi cereals don't have these 2 ingredients ....but the bars from either brand are another story.

    I loved the Fiber one bars, but it took me 3 months to figure out what was causing it. Oh the embarassment.

    I was told to take regular fiber tablets. But specifically Citricel, NOT Citrical. Look at the active ingredients. Citricel's active ingredient is what you want.

    It has been a relief to get it under control. The other item that causes the really toxic issues is chocolate. If I eat a chocolate bar, it takes about 6-7 days to get it out of my system.

    For me: Citricel regular fiber tabs.

    I can eat Fiber One cereal without a problem, but the bars...OMG. Right now I'm eating the cinnamon coffee cake ones and they satisfy my sweet tooth but even my cats avoid me when the side effects start.

    I've heard that the cookie dough ones are really good, but they are really pricy. Worth it?

    So THAT'S why...


    Still gonna eat it though. I eat the Honey Clusters cereal, because I like it and it has good numbers. I guess it's a good thing I have an outdoor job.

    I hadn't heard that before, but that would make sense with what I've experienced after eating one. Sometimes I eat a pouch of fruit snacks (Welch's or Market Pantry from Target) instead of a protein bar. For some reason, the fruit snacks seem to make me feel full.

    I quit eating them. They were ruining my social life. I get my extra fiber through psyllium tablets. Still a little farty but not room-clearing farty.
