First off Fiber One bars are DELICIOUS!!!
But I didn’t know the side effects, LOL
My experience… True Story:
I’m big on eating 2 packs of Quaker instant oatmeal every morning plus one Fiber One bar, then I eat another Fiber One bar about four hours later. Well Yesterday I did that but I packed to extra Fiber One bars in my lunch extra, totaling four bars. I saved to for the road after work to eat from San Diego to Orange County. When I got to my destination I was cutting gas every 5 minutes, lol. About 3 hours layer I had to GO!!! An explosion of gas, moderate diarreah but alot of gas. I got up still passing gas, I got to thinking my girlfriend played a prank on me with Ex-Lax, lol. I went to bed and woke in the morning with stomach cramps like I haven’t ate dinner. Thanks Fiber One!!! All in all a bowl of oatmeal and 4 Fiber One bars will take effect. I will continue to eat them, one a day now, LOL.

Conlusion: this explains all the gas I been having before this incident.

I think the reason they don’t make any of the health claims about lowering cholesterol etc. is because of the type of fiber in them. Check out this article for more info. http://blog.nola.com/chrisbynum/2008/10/not_all_highfiber_foods_are_as.html

I bought the chocolate and oatmeal ones, and liked the taste of them, but about a half hour later, I had so much gas all day long. So I won’t be buying them again, that’s for sure.

I eat 2 of these a day for the last year, i feel great and about the ingredients im sure people are putting worst things in there body than a fiber one bar lol…its an excelent source of fiber which everybody needs more of and if you dont have time its perfect but thats just my opinion and hfcs doesnt spike your insulin and 9 grams of fiber slows down the absorption im sure the makers of fiberone knows what they are doing

If you really want to eat healthy avoid these bars!
Look at the ingredients, full of high fructose corn syrup and all kinds of additives and preservatives.
If you want healthy and yummy go to LAra Bars, Prana bars Pure bars and Raw revolution Bars

Nancy, The bars have peanut flour in them? A lot of people are allergic to peanuts.

This bar was good but unforturnatly I do not know what was in it that gave me a terrible allergic reaction. I guess I won’t be buying these again.

I agree these are the best tasting granola bars out there (despite the gassy side-effects), but Geez people! I hope you didn’t expect General Mills (the maker of Fiber One Bars) to do you a favor and cut out the HFCS and hydrogenated fats! They use this stuff to cheapen the product so you can get it at a comparable cost as to other granola bars. If you want a clean label then be ready to fork out the money and expect to find it at Whole Foods.
