Fiber One = Not Much Fun

Fiber is good for you. It helps you to feel full longer, and improves the overall health in your gut. It is highly recommended to eat a diet rich in fiber.

So I decided to try these Fiber One bars, one because it was a healthier choice compared to some of the other snacks I eat. And two because my friend recommended them. She said they were really tasty. She was right, they are a great chocolate-y treat.
It took me a few days to realize the consequences of eating fiber. At first I thought I had recently become lactose intolerant because the same day I ate 2 bars, I had 2 glasses of chocolate milk (not something I drink regularly). It was only about 5 days later that I discovered the source of my severe bloating and pain was that of the Fiber One Bar.

The gas released from my body was putting my husbands gas to shame. The first few days of eating them I had off of work so I was able to relieve the pressure without being judged (thanks Chris!). But I made the mistake of eating one during a night shift at work. I visited the restroom about 7-8 times during that shift as my stomach was going wild and making all these weird noises as I tried to repress the release of gas. I also resulted in going into stairwells to help the problem. It was miserable and embarrassing!

Needless to say, I avoid the Fiber One Bar if I need to go anywhere public. While they are delicious, don't let them fool you. They are nasty little gas creating bombs!
