Fiber One Bars ???

I bought them and I was going to start having them for breakfast tomorrow. Do you think just one bar will cause the 'gastrointestinal discomfort' that they talk about on the box?

Thanks!

nah... I eat FIber One cereal for breakfast all the time & I haver never any issues. And I eat HUGE bowls. It'll.... move things along, but its not like taking a laxative.

The year before my wedding I was in so much pain that I went to my gastro dr and he put me on Fibercon pills (which I take rarely now) but that helps too

So!
I took one and it already helped ( LOL sorry TMI) but its great sitting here at work and i dont have these LOUD noises coming from my stomach!

Hope this lasts all day, I feel 20 lbs lighter!

A little olive oil helps too, sort of lubes up the insides, so to speak.
Just a teaspoon is a good start.

I'm a little late on the post, sorry. I was going to say I am so jealous. I eat those stupid things like candy. It doesn't work So, no worries about 'discomfort'


Glad you're feeling better and lighter

Tilde do you like oatmeal? I used to be so irregular-like I'd poop once a week or every other wekk-AWFUL! But now since have started eating the Heart Smart oatmeal in the morning with some fruit and sometimes a hard boiled egg, everyday its time for me to make the aqquaintance of the porcelain throne without the crazy gas and tummyaches I used to get.

---

I LOVE oatmeal - i should try that too

The noises that come from my stomach are INSANE! I need to stop this for good LOL

That one is really good-Not overly sweet like most of them which i hate. I dont nnat to eat mushy candy lol. The Irish oatmeal is GREAT too. Thats plain but I make it at home because its not instant and add bluberries or strawberries to it and sometimes a drizzle of sugar free pancake syrup and it works nicely.

ok.. coming from the resident stomach queen (FM for details) I would discuss this with your dr.

It's nothing major, don't get worried, but foods have a lot of different effects on people. Some people are binded up by oatmeal, whereas others can't make it to the bathroom quick enough. Same with dairy products like yogurt or even my favorite; coffee.

Fiber regulates your system, meaning it either can help you go OR bind you. Fiber can either bring water from your body to your stomach (and loosen stuff up) or help soak up water (and bind you).. So if you take in too much, you're doing more harm than good.

I would stick to one thing for about a week which will give your body time to adjust to the new food. See how that works and definitely talk to your doctor. You might benefit from daily fiber supplements.

Good luck!



and seriously, any Q's FM me. I'd rather not post allll my business on this board

Thanks for the advice!

I have always had what we call in my family a 'nervous stomach' meaning that all of my emotions are in my stomach. If i am stressed, no action. If i am nervous, WAY too much action. and all that fun stuff

Hopefully by the end of the week these bars work out. . .or the yogurts next week.

And i know what you mean, i dont even talk about this stuff with DH and here i am posting it for the world to see

Oh, I didn't mean YOU putting your business out there. I just have a lot of health issues that I don't really like talking about with the whole world.

As far as the stomach goes, you'll be fine. At the end of the week, if you aren't regular, just call your Dr. That's your best bet..

Good luck
