Kashi Go Lean Crunch upsetting stomach?

I mix mine with yogurt instead of milk, and I find that I don't have the problem. Maybe that's why. I had a terrible time with the Fiber One bars, but maybe I'll try again and eat yogurt at the same time. I liked them.
It's a challenge to me to get my fiber numbers up.
No issues here..... I use Yogurt also!!! Not a milk guy. As Arnold would say "Milk is for babies, you gotta drink beer"0 -

That's a possibility. I mentioned in my post that some people feel better if they take probiotics because that's the bacteria that's meant to be snacking on the chicory root extract in your intestines. The same stuff is in yogurt
(You probably don't need to have yogurt with it every time though... your body should build up a nice little permanent colony over time so that even when you don't have yogurt in a meal, the bacteria is there.)0 -
I think I'm going to name my gut bacteria Whoville.0

Oh no, I just bought my first box! I should've read this first! The stuff is delicious!0

Wow, I bought the Kashi 7 grain flakes last week and my husband complained of stomach pains. I mixed 1/2 cup of the Kashi last night with a 1/2 cup of my All Bran flakes last night, and my stomach also hurt. I'm going to stick with my All Bran!!0

probably all the fiber.... ! Stop eating it... or eat it less often....0

Freedom foods Crunchola does this to me, I thought that maybe I would get used to it but no, every time I eat in, I am in and out of the loo every few mins and the wind is crazy!!
I have given up eating it now, thing is, I don't know what to replace it with, I don't want a hot cereal just something I can splosh some milk over and munch!0 -
Like someone already mentioned, it is caused from the chicory root ingredient. I used to eat kashi cereals, but it gave me the worst gas. Very uncomfortable. I never had any stomach pain. I don't eat anything with the chicory ingredient anymore. btw - Kashi uses gmo's - and it is loaded with sugar0
-
I eat that kind of cereal every other day and usually with a sliced up banana. Maybe try a banana or something with it? That may help....0

It kills my stomach!0
-
I cant eat it..it makes me bloated and terriably blocked up! shame as I love the taste..but I steer very clear of it!0
-
Really, all those high level of carbs and sugar packed in that cereal? I wonder why it would give someone gas....shocker.0

Kashi gave me the worst non-illness stomach cramps I've ever had. It just tore me up, and I usually have over 40 grams of fiber a day, so it wasn't because of not being used to fiber. I just stick to shredded wheat or oatmeal now.0
-
YES! It's so delicious but I just can't eat it. The pain is so bad.
Edited to say that my breakfast is usually one of these and I have no stomach issues with them:
oatmeal with raisins, cinnamon, and stevia
english muffin with PB
egg sandwich made with 1 egg and 1 egg white and a slice of american cheese on an english muffin0 -
I sprinkle kashi go lean crunch on my plain greek yogurt almost every day for breakfast. Have never had an issue.0

It's the chicory root/inulin. That stuff is evil.0

^ This! ^
Not all Kashi .....not all Fiber One has inulin (or chikory root). Read labels......this form of fiber is notorious for "stomach" issues.0 -
Its the GMO's.....get rid off it!0
