Fiber One Bars make

me Fart
(NOTICE: IN EACH POST NAME OF WRITER IS
AFTER POST)
Fiber One = constant flatulence
Step aside Kashi GoLEAN Crunch, and say hello to Fiber One
Bars. Never, ever in my entire life, have a dropped as much ass
as I do after eating these. I mean, check out the nutrition label,
it speaks for itself!
I've done some research and evidently it's the chicory root that
causes the gas. I don't know about all that, but I do know that
the human body is not designed to do what it does after eating
these bars.
Fiber One bars are yummy and chocolaty. Fiber One bars are
also snacks that are forged in the depths of hell by Satan
himself.
When I think back on the top ten loudest and longest farts of
my life, I can honestly say 10 of them happened all at once
about 2 hours after eating a Fiber One bar.
I conducted an unscientific test to see if others were affected
like I was.
One person told me they farted so loud that they woke them
self up in the middle of the night. Another told me that her
drug free childbirth was much more comfortable than her
brush with the Fiber One bar.
Terry Schiavo would have run out of the room with some of the
gas that I've had.
I would be interested in other people's experiences with Fiber
One bars. Post them here.

-----Update 2-11-09----After sending a note to General Mills pointing them to this post,
I received an email back from them. At least it's cool they have
a sense of humor.
Dear Mr. Farts Alot:

Thank you for contacting General Mills and sharing your humor
with us. I shared the website and it gave us a great laugh for
the day.

Thank you for using our Fiber One products and have a great
day.

Sincerely,

Imee B. Roberts
Consumer Services

-----Update 8-14-08----I am obviously not alone.

Let's start posting actual recordings of your actual farts here
on this thread! Please record your greatest Fiber One farts via
any means necessary! (Recorder, cell phone, computer mic,
etc). I will post them here! It will be a GAS! Please convert your
fart sounds into any readable computer format (.wav, .mp3,
etc) and email them here.
I will "pass" the credit onto the "end" user. Don't be lazy!
Record your Fiber One farts!!!

-----Update 1-16-11----Thanks to Andrew for a great Fiber one recording mix. As he

states in his letter, "...you've got just about every possible
type, the firecracker, the nuke, the deflating balloon, the
machine gun...etc."
Truly a great mix of farts. Click here

Also thanks to T-bone Buttstank for their recording. Click here

I have to say that I will NEVER, EVER consume another one of
these yummy bars from hell... severe gas and gas pains,
diarrhea... honestly there should be a skull and crossbones on
the box!! Or at best a warning...
#1.1.1 Kim Taylor on 2013-07-19 13:04 (Reply)
So it all began when my mom informed me that she bought
some bars for me to take to school...HOLY SHART!! Ive never
farted so much in my life. My boyfriend was just over and I had
to keep leaving the room so that I could let one rip. The bad
thing is that they linger...not so hott. Anyways, I plan on
offering these bars to friends and see if they say anything. Id
love to stay and chat but I have to go find a cork to stick up my
ass.

I'm almost in tears as I read this. I've been eating these bars
for a quick breakfast with fruit this past week. I've been so,
umm, bloated and uncomfortable, I am unable to sleep, my
husband is keeping his distance, as is the poor dog! Ahhhh, too
much of a good thing... reminiscent of my bout with sugar-free
chocolate bars, I don't know what's worse!!

I too have been in complete tears and a stomach ache reading
this page. I have two bulldogs who are notorious for passing
some serious gas. But since my husband and I have started
eating these Fiber One Bars, it sounds like the trombone

section in a high school band! It has reached a level that is

even louder and more stinky than our bulldogs! My husband is
horribly bloated and complains that he can't stop passing gas. I
can't even take two steps with out letting one go! They fall out
at any given moment. Do you know how hard it is to squeeze
your ass cheeks when you are working closely with people in
order not to fart??!! We have sat across from each other my
husband and I and actually had in depth conversations on how
bad the gas is and how we wish the farting would just stop!
These bars are so tasty-we even tried the caramel and oat
ones. We are throwing them out-if they are here I will only
continue to eat and continue to burn holes in my couch.

Listen dude, it is NOT the fiber.. The dietary fiber (while at 9g)
is not nearly as much fiber as an average person has in a day. I
could fast for 10 days straight; eat one Fiber One bar, and fart
for hours. One could eat two gallons of Spaghetti, Two cups of
Lentils, a gallon of Peas, a sack of Blueberries, a cart full of
Bran flakes, a truck load of Oatmeal, two loaves of Rye bread,
a bushel of Artichokes, and a barrel of oil full of corn and Turnip
greens and not have as much gas as I do after one of these.
There is something evil about them. They really defy all logic
and all knowledge of nutritional information when it comes to
fiber and farts. I don't care if you are a trainer, you are coming
to some knee-jerk irrational assumptions about this hell-forged
snack bar.

OMG I am crying, I am laughing so hard. I bought these last
week and I loved them, I ate 3 the first day and had the worst
gas of my life. then the next day the same, finally on the 3rd
day my husband counted the farts, 105 in one day! he said I
need to go to the doctor, they are the loudest and longest
thing I have ever heard, gross I know. I figured maybe it was
the bars? So here I come and see I am not alone, I cant stop
laughing!!!

Sweet Jesus I was starting to think I was crazy! I'm sensitive to

some ingredients, like dairy and sugar alcohols so I usually
stay away from things that aren't "all natural" and overall I'm a
very healthy eater. I regularly eat over 24g [the recommended
amount] of fiber each day - and have been eating Gnu Foods
fiber bars, which have 12g of fiber in each bar. So PLEASE,
everyone who keeps saying the gas is caused by the increased
fiber intake, shut up.

Never have I EVER had this much air inside of my body at

once. It literally felt like someone attached an air hose to my
bellybutton and pumped me with as much air as possible. And
just when you let out a good 4 minute fart and think you're
going to feel some relief, NOPE! Another little explosion in your
stomach and there are 50 more farts lining up inside of you
just waiting to burst out at the most inconvenient moment. I
work in a very quiet office all day and let me tell you - if there
is a hell - it's probably just the devil forcefeeding you one of
these bars a day. Seriously, one bar and your insides will be
exploding.

I swear, I can't even look at a box without farting now. I hate

you fiber one.
#12 Allie on 2008-07-29 21:38 (Reply)
I'm not in trouble. My husband can't take my constant laughter
over how much I'm farting. He farts probably at least 50 times
a day if not more, every day. I have two days of around 400
farts from Fiber One, no joke and suddenly I'm trouble for
laughing. I couldn't even make an exchange at the store today,
it took five minutes. I've farted four times since I wrote this. It
smells like something crawled up inside me and died.
#13 in trouble on 2008-07-30 00:29 (Reply)
My wife bought these for the first time a few months ago. I
took one to school that first week and within a few hours,
apparently the Dozers from Fraggle Rock set up shop in my

colon and went to work with the jack hammers. Have I ever
been in more pain...I think not. That was the last one I will ever
consume. My wife on the other hand, tsk, tsk, tsk. She loves
the flavor, and for her it's worth the pain she puts herself, the
dog, the cat and I through to keep on buying and eating them.
I think I even saw our Beta Fish choking following one of her
gigantic vomit inducing fog horn-like butt trumpet solos. Please
someone give me words that I may say to her to get her to
stop. I threatened to throw them away yesterday and you
would have thought I was trying to steel one of her kindeys.
The thought of pulling a dutch oven while in bed isn't so funny
when you know you'd be on the recieving end!

This article is Soooo true. I've been researching about my
wife's raunchy ass and discovered this article. As a matter of
fact, while typing this she dropped another god awful bomb.
The day she started eating these bars, was start of a daily
inferno of gas that melts the wallpaper off my wall. Good luck
guys who also have this problem God bless.

A very sad coincidence. I HAPPENED to buy Fiber One bars at
the grocery store the very same week I HAPPENED to decide to
try Yoga for the first time. Not good. Not good at all.

I don't understand what General Mills is doing to us. These
things are so, so tasty. They really are. I could almost never
bother with candy bars again. HOWEVER, the gas they produce
is epic! I feel so bad for the girl who sits next to me at work.
I've been polluting her workspace for almost a week now. She
did take today off. Hmmm...It's like, I know that I'm gonna get
gassy and smelly. But I can't resist because they taste so good
and stave off my hunger. The only thing to do is a coffee
enema chaser. Pop a FiberOne bar, get your gas started, and
then have a cup of black coffee. Maybe it will speed up the
elimination process for you like it does for me. Damn it, I smell
so bad.

I have known the after-effects of eating Fiber One bars (a true
weapon of a** destruction) for some time. My wife introduced
me to these and not long after we began to notice that there
was a gas cloud rising from her underwear after each bar.

these bars looked so tasty in my work vending machine.
i'm paying now.

9 Am this morning my sister ate a delicious Carmel and Oats
Fiber One bar, and 2 hours post ingestion we began to notice a
very consistent stench within her vicinity. Once we
acknowledged that she was the culprit of the horrific stench,
she was not afraid to hold back. She was shameless in claiming
the many loud farts. I heard the word "safety" over 100 times
while we were sitting on our shared bed (which i am not
sleeping in tonight). She felt the smell lingering around her all
day and she showered twice in a four hour period. Upon
arriving to work she texted me saying... "omg i just had the
worst diarrhea. i am suing the Fiber One company. i shit you
not (no pun intended)." We were all very curious off the
updates over the course of today. We made sure to inform the
entire family about her reoccurring flatulence. My mom
diagnosed her with some far-fetched stomach disease, but
after introducing her to the real truth (this website), she is well
aware of their effects and will not be tempted to indulge in
them before any social interaction....
We are still awaiting her return home, and we think this may
prevent her from a very uncomfortable school experience
tomorrow.
Thank you all for sharing all your encounters with these
deliciously deadly treats.... ill admit i couldn't breathe i was
laughing so hard.

I eat these bars and have no problems...no more farts than
normal for me. My wife on the other hand, LOOK OUT! She
literally woke herself up from farting. I really thought she was
crazy until I came across this site. She thinks its the chicory
root extract...with it being the first ingredient listed, it has this
ingredient the most. Glad to see she isn't crazy.

Yes, these bars are Satan Snacks! I just started a diet and
decided to buy these thinking they would help with wieght loss
so yesterday afternoon I ate 2 bars. Evening rolled around and
I was making dinner. I must have farted last night 500 times if
not more! These farts were NOTHING like the gas I had after
my colonoscopy. I am a tiny person and "toot", but last night
these farts were loooong and sounded like thunder! I swear I
let this one loose that was so forceful I thought I may have
even levitated ! LMAO!!!!! I farted ALL NIGHT LONG!!! Woke up
to horrible gas pains and my ass has been throwing up ever
since 7am. These bars are DENOMIC, what other bars can
make you fart so bad to self levitation?????? My husband
laughed at me all night and he farted as he usually does and I
was happy to respond by saying "honey, I fold and raise you
two" as I farted twice with confidence!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!! Yeah,
these bars will be given to my mother in law in her "goody
bag" I always pack for her!!!!!!

Thanks for all the stories! I needed these laughs after feeling
so miserable from these bars!!!!

Argh... The fart bars have claimed yet another hapless victim.
Like everyone else I googled fiber one bar farts. My pets won't
even stay in the room with me now so I can't blame it on them
anymore. :-(
#58 Laura on 2009-03-02 02:48 (Reply)
OMG i am right along with all of you in laughing my ass off
from reading all the stroies. I am having the same problems,
and yet the bars have to tast so good! WOW do i smell after
eating one of these bars. Not ladely like at all hahahaha. I
assumed it was just the extra fiber but decided to do a search
on google anyway and this is what i found! TOO FUNNY! I am
so glad i work from home otherwise i may have been fired from
the awful smell that these farts produce. I have tried the fiber
one cereal and do not remember having these problems like i
am having with the fiber one bars. I think i will just have to do
like everyone else and either throw the last 2 out or use them
for a prank. :)#60 Smell-E on 2009-03-04 16:38 (Reply)
Dear Brethren of the Booties:

I, too, have fallen prey to the malicious Fiber One bar. Make it
stop! My co-worker is gagging on the floor...I can barely see
her but for the miasma of stench surrounding our desks. Send
for back up! I'm going in....

I googleed "fiber bars give you gas" and came to this page. I
could've googled "blow-outs" because that's what they are.
They're horrendous! I can't describe the force and pressure
behind them, but I guess everyone here knows because
they've experienced them.
What's worse is that I thought fiber was GOOD for me. Nine
grams in one bar - woo hoo! But now I hear it's the chicory root

extract that causes the gas? Crap, that's the FIRST

INGREDIENT LISTED.
I kept thinking all week "What the heck have I been eating that
I have such baaaad gas???" and then it turns out the only thing
different is Fiber One. I love the oats & strawberries w/almonds.
But the blowouts...........BOOM!
#64 Foxy Lady on 2009-03-06 16:16 (Reply)
First and foremost, this is the funniest website ever! Seems like
a "support group" for people with problematic farts, if you will.
I ate 2 of these bars today and the gas has been
unprecedented. Didn't help that I had refried beans with my
dinner. As I sit here typing, I have fart AGAIN. Been going into
the bathroom to fart so I don't gas myself out, but the smell
attaches itself to my clothes and follows me around the house.
Have candles burning but it doesn't overpower the lethal
stench....and it's too cold to open the windows. I feel trapped!
If it's the chickory root that causes these noxious emissions,
why must they add this???? What a cruel thing to do! I'm
calling the company tomorrow and complaining! Good thing I
didn't have a date tonight :-P
#65 This is ridiculous!! on 2009-03-08 00:37 (Reply)
I wrote to General Mills to let them know that although their
FiberOne bars are most tasty and satisfying, the gas that they
produce is enough to destroy one's will to live. The gas was so
bad that I could actually see it, all brown and greasy and
hanging over my cubicle, marking me with a shamecloud for
all to see and smell. Anyway, long story short, General Mills
wound up sending me $7 in coupons for my inconvenience. No,
I won't be buying more FiberOne bars with my coupons. Maybe
General Mills makes a butt balm.

okay, i was in chours class and i kept farting throughout the
song because of the bars. then people behind me on the risers
were complaining that it smelt really badly, and i knew it was
me.

My cousin had the Fiber One bars, and I decided to try one cuz
I was hungry. Mmmm - tasty! I went to grab another one and
she warned me that I would be sorry. I decided to ignore the
warning - big mistake!
About 2 hours later, I was attending a worship service at a
local church... I spent the entire time seated, thanking the
good Lord above for the cushioned seat and the very loud
christian rock band playing. Oh, and unbelievably, the frequent
thunderous explosions blowing out of my ass had no smell.
Again, thank you dear Jesus. Amen.
#73 I can't escape myself! on 2009-03-21 01:12 (Reply)
Was really hungry and missed lunch. Grabbed a box of the
Fiber Ones went back to my office. Had lots of work to do so
ate a "few of them" mindlessly while answering emails.
Forgot that I had yoga class late that afternoon. The gas hit me
on my way to yoga. I seriously considered aborting but thought
I could just run into the rest room if I needed to.
Spent nearly the whole class (1 hour) in the bathroom. The first
explosive release was so loud that it rattled the window in the
bathroom. I knew for sure they had heard it out on the floor
where the other people were deep in some relaxing yoga pose.
The rest of the time I mastered the method of bending over
and pulling my butt cheeks apart so that the sound would just
be a rush of "air" coming out. One occurrence was so forceful
that the magazine pages rustled in the ensuing wind storm. I
did not think the gas would ever stop coming. No more Fiber
One bars unless I am by myself away from civilization!
#77 Windy Nights on 2009-03-27 16:36 (Reply)
This website has been a total relief (literally). I fell in love with
the Fiber 1 Chocolate and Oats bars (only 2 points on weight
watchers) and thought I found a great snack to keep with me.
The first day I had no problem, the next day I noticed I was a
little gassy. Then yesterday I ate two and was in so much pain.
Finally figured out that the bars were causing the problem, but

I LOVE them. My husband is laughing hysterically that I'm

spending this much time researching farts and gas, but I just
knew that this was normal. Thanks to all of you Farters out
there, I finally feel relief....
#78 not the only one on 2009-03-28 21:42 (Reply)
Not only are Fiber Onr Bars gassy , now there are Fiber Plus
Bars made by Kellogs. My wife and I can't stop laughing. I
found these great new bars...buy one get one free and ate a
couple. I feel my stomach is being inflated with a pump. We
went to the movies and it was so difficult to hold the farts in.
We came home and googled Fiber ones bars make me fart and
this sight came up. /My wife assured me that I was not alone.
Thanks everyone for sharing your stories. I just can't stop
farting.... I'm taking these bars back and can't wait until they
ask me why! Too bad that they taste so good!
#80 Stan (Homepage) on 2009-03-28 22:51 (Reply)
I farted for like a minute straight last night shortly after eating
a Fiber One Bar. Luckily, my 8 year old was in the room to
blame it on.

Thank you for this. GM had sent me a box of Fiber One bars
and a stack of coupons for $1.35 off to hand out to friends,
etc...
Having never tried them, I didn't realize until day 3 that it was
the bars!! My husband was grossed out/jealous of the gas... It
was quite pungent, to put it nicely.
The flavor was amazing, but the aftermath is just more than
this family can bear...
They'll be used as gifts for sure, in the future.

I ate two of these bars on Saturday and another on Sunday. I
couldn't figure why I was passing so much gas all day long and
into the night. On Saturday my husband and I were shopping at

JC Penney's at the mall and I let one rip...lol. He gave me the

dirtiest look and told me to knock it off. I told him I couldn't
help it, that I was feeling bloated, crampy and had to let it out.
Sunday night, I mentioned to my 18 year son I was having a bit
of a problem with gas (he had heard them ripping throughout
the day)

I started working as a cashier at a local food retailer [which will
remain unnamed] and began to gain a lot of weight because of
the Snickers bars and Kit Kats that i would consume because of
the easy access.
When I heard about Fiber One bars I became instantly
infatuated. I loved the thought of eating healthy and saving
some money. I bought 2 boxes of the oats and chocolate bars
[because they were on sale] on a Friday and immediately
began devouring the whole box over the period of that
weekend. It had gotten so bad that by Monday when I would
request change from my managers they would send some poor
unknowing fool over to me because they couldn't stand the
toxic fumes that seemed to levitate around me.
Now when I see an unsuspecting victim I make it a point to
warn them of the health hazards created by these stink bombs.

OMG I am laughing more than I have laughed in ages.
Wheezing laughing! I am planning on buying these and leaving
them out in my classroom- I have students that are always
taking things that do not belong to them...this will be the
perfect lesson for them to learn...be careful what you eatexpecially if it doesn't belong to you.

Percolating...as I sit here. I, too, googled Fiber one and google's

auto completes' first entry was "fiber one gas"...so I knew at
this point it wasn't just me!
PLUS I guess you only find this web site funny if you have
personally experienced the fiber one's death bubbles. My
husband doesn't think this is funny at all. I am sneaking one
into his diet, then he'll get the joke. HAHAHAHAHAHA

In my last trip to the grocery store, I bought a new brand of
hummus and Fiber One bars for the first time. Curious as to
why I've been dropping uncontrollable stink bombs for the past
two days (and suspecting the hummus), I sat here innocuously
munching on a Fiber One bar and Googling "foods that cause
gas." Just as a I finished licking my fingers of the chocolaty
drizzle, I came across this page. I've eaten six in the past two
days. Two Maximum Strength Gas-X have still not helped me.
I'm overtired too because the volume and reverberation of my
farts wakes me up whenever one slips out in my sleep. They
feel like nice big wholesome farts too, yet bring no relief. I have
a doctor's appointment at 2:30. I hope she doesn't make me sit
on the exam table and wait for too long. There's nowhere for
me to sneak off to, and my dirty deed will be painfully obvious.
They were really tasty, though.

It's great to see that other people experience the same crazy
gas problems from Fiber One bars that I do! And it's not just
these bars, but any large amount of fruit(ie, melon) too. Now I
know better than to eat these in public. It's such a relief to get
home and finally let it all out! I love fiber, but the gas is really a
problem! Ever since I upped my intake of fibrous(sp?) foods in
recent years, the number of times i fart daily has skyrocketed!!

My body is like a tank... the bars really only made me fart a

few times more than usual, and poo twice a day instead of
once.

My girlfriend on the other hand... holy bajesus! She holds her

farts in all day at work, and I usually swing by and pick her up
afterwards. After I get her it is a 7 block ride home and she
nearly farted the entire ride. I think it was like a 2 minute gas
seepage out of her ass. Absolutely unreal!

I love fiber one bars and kellogs new fiber plus bars because
they taste so good, but the unfortunate exploding gas issue
made me not be able to eat them. I tried to outsmart the bar
by using gas-x and beano, it did not work and I ended up
farting through a 6 hour lecture, it could not be stopped and i
am pretty sure the people around me won't sit next to me next
lecture or ever again. Fiber one bars are a super tasty fart fuel,
BEWARE!!

Watch out for that chicory root in other products! Smartfood
Popcorn clusters have it- yikes! Of course I found out after
eating it---luckily only one 100 calorie bag. At least one fart for
each calorie.... This stuff makes for mammoth amounts of
methane and never ending farts.

After hearing how "yummy" the Oatmeal chocolate chip Fiber
One Bars were I couldn't wait to try them. Wow they were
awesome sweet and crunchy just like a candy bar so instead of
having one I ate 2 well later on that afternoon I was going to
the local warehouse to do some grocery shopping and felt this
sudden urgent need to use the bathroom, (of course I was in
the back of the store and couldn't have been further away from
the restrooms,) so I grabbed my purse and literally ran through
the store I am sure the people running the security cameras

thought I was trying to escape with something but before I

could make it to the bathroom I had shit in my pants while still
running to the bathroom I was so mortified this has never
happened to me before I literally had to wash out my pants in
the bathroom and thank God I had a jacket on so I could tie it
around my waist. I went home immediatley and spent the next
several hours with explosive diarriah. WTF is in these things
that would make you lose total control like that. Unfortunately,
I threw the rest of the box away and needless to say won't be
buying them again. They should put a dam warning on their
packaging to put on Depends if you plan on leaving your house
after eating these. :-)

I too let out about 500 farts from laughing so hard while
reading this page. I just walked into my boyfriends house and
ran to the bathroom to explode! I thought I was going to shit
my pants. I had a Kashi frozen meal for lunch and have had
gas pains all day! What is with fiber and farts? I decided to do
a little research and up pops this page. The first time was the
last time Id ever eat a Fiber One bar! Those things are
screaming I am going to mess with you all day and make you
fart like you have never farted before. The worst thing about
the day that I ate the bars was being at work where you can't
fart. The air bubbles build up inside your stomach and roar up
through your insides like you are going to burp out the
deadliest fart! I threw the rest of the box away! Damn FIBER
ONE! They should not be called Fiber One, but FIBER 500 FART
BARS!

WOW. I am so relieved to find this website! Listen, I am a
naturally gassy person anyway, so before yesterday, I thought
I had mastered the art of the silent killer farts and fart
deflection (blaming it on someone else). Good GOD. What
tortured souls invented this SHIT IN A BAR! Seriously, that's
what it is. I feel like I've been run over by a truck and instead
of being paralyzed, I just have the runs every 15 minutes and
in between bathroom trips I put on fireworks shows out my

ASS. I am so glad it's not just me. I asked one of my friends this
morning, "Do you think it's possible for a granola bar to kick
your ass?" She said no. She was wrong.

I sleep alone in my fiber one cloud, my husband has
abandoned me for the living room. We always start out in the
same room. Then I wake up in a closed room that stinks from
all the gas, husband GONE. He ate a whole box of Fiber One
and Curves Fiber bars in a couple days with milk and has not
touched them since. I suspect he had bad bad bad bad
consequences while I was away on work business. I warned
him to leave it to 1 a day but he did not listen. Now he just
runs from me and says NOT A WORD. I once took a sick day
from eating 2 in 1 day. My job would of really wanted it that
way, Does it end? I have eaten 1 a day for 2 weeks and no
help! The farts just keep coming. I am gonna give up soon. Hey
Fiber One, maybe you should have a sensitive system kit and
work us up from a smaller dose of fiber to the current fiber bar.
I would buy that kit. I WOULD BUY THAT KIT.

I wondered what the hell was wrong with me. I feel as if my

eating 1. I ate 2 and spent every 15 minutes in the bathroom. I
am a walking machine gun ! Thank god I am single. I warned
my son about these and he does not have these gas problems.
These fiber one bars are so tasty they are hard to stop eating.
Try eating them with a huge mug of coffee. Its not like after
one day the gas stops. It will last for days. Someone could die
from their stomach exploding !

I am laughing my ass off so bad here!! its all true to you non
believers...I thought these were the best tasting fiber bars
invented..until I blew my husband off the other end of the
couch and the dog out the back slider!!!!! and OMG the power
of these farts was just unreal...I would go into hysterics every
time I let one rip because the look of amazement on my
husband's face was priceless...I seriously thought I was going
to have to go to the ER. The pains were unbelievable. They
need a warning label with a hazard symbol "highly explosive".
This went on all night...I had no idea where this was coming
from...and then the stank began..oh it doesn't smell
initially...but just wait....I'm gonnna bring the rest to work for a
good laugh!!!! Oh and my niece and nephew now call these
farty poo poo bars and refuse to let my sister put them in their
lunch bags LOL

I have one with my lunch at work everyday. When I get home, I
let it all loose. The farts are unique, unreal, and unmatched.
They come about every 4 minutes, for the duration of 4 or 5
hours or until bedtime. They even come out while I'm sleeping.

I love it though, I think it's hilarious and my boyfriend does too.

I googled "fiber bars give me gas", landed here, and have a
stomach ache - I've been laughing so hard. I was blaming my
windy bottom on a host of other foods and then had an
epiphany that it might be the Target wannabe Fiber One bars I
bought recently. I, too, work in a very quiet office so I've been
racing to the bathroom for some relief - secretly scared that I
might let one go during a meeting. One plus? My 6 and 2 year
olds think Mommy is a farting champ.

I wanted to get some more fiber in my diet but never in my life
have I had this much gas! I'm at work and I'm finding that I
need to fart about every 2 minutes. I work right by someone
and every time they leave their desk I let one go. It's so
horrible!!!

I ate one yesterday at lunch.
When I drove home from work, my husband borrowed my car
to go to the grocery store.
When he came back from the store, he did not look so happy.

I don't think he will ever borrow my car after I've eaten a fiber
one bar.
We both cried with laughter when we found this site.

My step mom gave me a box 2 days ago of the mocha bars. I
ate one yesterday and had severe gas pains last night and
farted so much and so loud my 6 year old (who loves a good
fart) was asking me to stop. I chalked it up to being pregnant
as this is not the first gas episode I've had in the past 7
months. I ate one again this afternoon and tonight, while at a
church meeting, my stomach hurt so bad I seriously thought I
was in labor. I knew it was gas pains but that bad?! What made
matters worse was having to hold them in for 3 hours. I
thought. I was going. To die!!! I was trying not to make faces in
the pain because people kept asking me if I was ok. I really
didn't want to have to tell them that, No I was not in labor, I
just needed to fart! Regardless of how it looked. When I got
home tonight all I could do was lay on the floor with my ass as
far in the air as it could go. I knew it had to be those bars. I
know what to eat now when my husband and 6yr old are
having a farting contest. I'm gonna win 'em every time now!

My husband and I have been eating these for only two days
and we can't believe how bad our gas is. It has been non stop
for me for since yesterday. I think I have it worse than him. I
am so glad we are not alone. My husband did notice on the
side of the box that it says "Gradually increase fiber over time
to help minimize potential gastrointestinal discomfort." Yeah
too bad I didn't read that first. "potential discomfort" my ass
(no pun intended) it should read "without a doubt flatulence".
But if it helps in my weight loss I will accept the gas. However I
will not eat one before work ever again, that could be
distasterous since I work retail and really have nowhere to
hide. Thanks everyone for posting, this really made us feel
better about this sudden gas attack. Good night and gas
speed. :-)

I'm not alone!!!
While one day at the supermarket I noticed a great deal on
Fiber One brand products (cereal, granola bars, etc.) They
sounded delicious so I bought a few boxes of each. As a college
student, I would eat Fiber One cereal in the morning and take a
granola bar with me to class. Like clockwork, I would get to
class and almost instantly have the worst stomach pains of my
life. I thought I was going to birth a child right in the middle of
lecture. I started to think I had IBS or some crazy digestion
problem. The stomach pains were so severe I couldn't sit still!
Gas and the worst diarreaha of my life followed instantly.
Imagine that every day for 2 weeks! It wasn't until proccess of
elimination that I realized Fiber One was doing that to me! I've
now cut them entirely out of my life and gave the bars to my
roomates. I wish them the best of luck with it. I will never buy
anything with Fiber One on it again!
Unfortunetly, I am now having the same issue with Kashi
Cereal. Ugh. Cheerio's it is.

I bought 2 boxes of the mocha bars. OMG you can smell the
coffee flavor when you open the package. I am seriously
addicted! But I'm telling you, it's a good thing my husband
works out of town and he only comes home on the weekends. I
have to stop eating them on Thursday so the farting can die
down. I find myself eagerly awaiting Monday morning, so I can
go back to eating my Fiber One Fart Bars!!!
Oh, and I've also scared my 2 cats out of the room on several
occasions.
#162 Lovin & hatin it! on 2009-09-08 18:42 (Reply)
I had my first bar unknowing of it's evil side effect. I remember
waiting my turn at the hair salon scared to death of this war
that was ensuing in my guts. I remember looking around to see
if anyone could actually see through my tight tank top the
wave-like motions of the gas violently rolling back and force. I

know they heard it, I just didn't know if they could see it like I
could. After about an hours of this internal Vietnam, I decided
to go to the hair saloon's bathroom to release and hopefully
get comfort. Unfortunately, after I let off the first fart I realized
there was no way out of my hell. The gas was ridiculously too
loud and the entire saloon will know. So what did I do next? I
held this furry in for another 2 hours till I was out of the salon.
The only good thing out of all of this is that I got home ultra
fast thanks to the propelled power of the backed up gas. I
didn't have to walk home, I pretty much glided without even
touching the ground. Thanks Fiber One.

I decided to grab a quick snack on my journey to the airport, so
what else do i reach for in my cupboard but a yummy Fiber
One bar? I was feeling great until the exact moment I took my
seat on the plane. And of course I was assigned to the middle
seat. To my right, my friend...to the left, a cute guy my age. I
painfully held in my farts until I reached my breaking point an
hour into the flight. I let one rip and prayed to God it didn't
stink. Thankfully, it did not. But to my demise, once I started I
simply could not stop. If the plane ran out of fuel, I would've
been able to get us the rest of the way on this natural gas.
Fortunalely I was wearing my seat belt or I probably would've
been ejected from the seat. At least I was able to blame the
violent vibrations on turbulence....

OMG! this is HI-larious. My husband and I started eating Fiber 1
bars a few weeks ago, and I at first thought it was something
else I ate.. but noooo... anyway, we bought two huge boxes
(qty=35 each) from Costco.. we will be farting for QUITE a long
time.. yesterday at work, i had to toot so badly, and i was

accidentally letting some go at my desk.. i couldn't take it

anymore.. and the little fan i have at my desk was making me
cold, so i fast-walked to the restroom only to my HORROR.. as i
rounded the corner heading into the hallway towards the
bathroom, i released the loudest toooooooot! I didn't laugh..
just played it off as my shoe or something (yeah right)... and
was relieved when there was no one in the hallway (even
though the explosion occurred right next to someone else's
cubicle).
I will show my hubby this site when i get home.. the other
night he told me he ate THREE fiber 1 bars that day! man... he
was in a very bad way! i'm going to make it up to him.. i just
finished off my first one of the day.. but should probably wait
until i am in the car heading home.. or it might BACK FIRE on
me!!!! HAHA...
Alas, I wish I had time to read all the comments on this post..
but the few I've digested should for this day be the wind
beneath my @$$. Also.. BTW, "Cute Toots" isn't just some

I'm telling you right now, they could have used these as a
torture device at Guantanamo (Gauntanapoo). I'm pregnant
and haven't been eating right. So I picked these up thinking
they'd be great for quick breakfast. Since I've been eating
them, I've been even sicker and assumed this pregnancy was
kicking my ass. Today, I grabbed two of these to munch on for
breakfast. Later in the day, I felt so sick and again, just figured
I had not eaten enough, so I had another one. O.M.G. I'm
dying. My husband spent the day making fun of me for my
obnoxious sounds and odors. He said I'm farting every 30
seconds. But he wanted something to eat at about 9pm and
you guessed it, chocolate and oats was too tempting. I'm
laughing so hard right now because the man is dying. I feel so
bad for our dogs tonight. It's going to be a long one.

It's good to know that I'm not alone! Both my sister and I have

We know what will come of our asses after we eat them, but
we can't resist. Our addiction to them is greater than that of a
crack addict. In my experience, the gas only lingers in my
digestive track for about a day and by the next morning it's all
escaped. A small (smelly) price to pay for one delicious treat!

Yep. I tried one at my mom's house and within an hour and a

I ALWAYS get the fiber one farts. Normally I try to avoid them,
but this morning I was going to work and I grabbed one so I
could eat on the go. This was at 9:00 am, and 6 hours later, I
still hadn't farted. WHAT A MIRACLE! So... I decided to risk it,
and have another for a snack. Within about 20 minutes the
farts came. I should've known better.... if only I had quit while I
was ahead.

As i sit here in pain, and wishing that i had a tub of diaper

cream to put on my burning ass hole I just realized fiber one is
to blame. About a month ago I went to samsclub and made the
worst purchase of my life. I thought fiber one bars looked
delicious and would be a healthy snack to take in my lunch
every day, little did i know the havoc it would wreak on my GI
tract. After eating these bars for about a week, i realized i was
farting uncontrollably and with everyday the smell would
become more and more repulsive. When I would consume any
food other then these bars I could literally feel it move through
my insides. I was full of gas and kept thinking it was caused by
every other thing i ate but little did i know, It was these tasty,
chocolaty, crack sprinkled treats that I was eating on a daily
basis. Tonight I came to realize just how truly evil these bar
were when I almost shat myself at the grocery store while
checking out. I feverishly scurried to locate a restroom where I
could unleash the hell building inside of my butt hole, to my
dismay, there just had to be another woman walking into the
restroom at the same time. I never in my adult life have been
brought to tears over stomach pains and I have had a
colonoscopy before (if you have ever had one, you know what
I'm talking about). I found myself sitting on a public toilet so
nauseous because I was holding it in to avoid embarassment
that I vomited in my mouth. I flushed the toilet three times in a
row to mask the noise of the liquid fiber one that was exiting
my body. As I stated before I bought these godforsaken granola
bars of doom at sams club so you can only imagine the large
box of them that remains. The only way to destroy these
chocolatly bars of "fuck!" is to burn them, they way they did
my asshole, I still can not sit. Thanks fiber one.

i had slept over at my bf's house last night and i couldnt stop
farting for the love of god. thank god he was out cold by the
time it started acting up. but it kept me up for hours upon
hours. i just came across this because i knew the only thing
different i had eaten during the day was two fiber one bars and
i typed in my google search bar "do fiber one bars make you
gassy" now i will only eat these if i plan on being home alone.

Ok. So my boyfriend bought these bars. I eat one thinking fiber
will do me good. Well I am a Medical Assistant. I have to bring
patients into the rooms. Get my drift. I eat the "fart bar" about
8am. By Noon I cannot stop farting. I am talking about the kind
of farts you can't hold in even while walking tight cheeked. I
was literally running into empty exam rooms to rip one so
nobody would hear me. I would try to walk out of the room and
have to back in again to rip yet another. It was awful. Worst
gas of my life. Constant farts lasting for hours. Thank you for
reading my story!!!!

I don't know about that ( 6.) fitness trainer, being raw vegan I
eat tons of fiber but have never farted so many times in a day
as when I eat my boyfriends fiber one bars. They tast so good
sometimes, I eat three in the same day. You can imagine the
gas I have!!! However, they don't stink, they are just super
load and like five in a row!!! I feel like a fart machine! This is a
dirty trick general mills is playing..lol

I spent the night at a friends house, just last night, I woke up
hungry, and was suggested a Fiber One bar...'yummy', I
thought. I ate it, then off to work I went, As I sat in front of this
very computer I write this on, I had the worst gas ever. As I left
to relieve myself in the restroom, I come back to my desk and
see a text message on my phone. That same friend who
suggested the Fiber One bar asked, 'hey, have you had gas
yet?' .At first I thought, 'wow, how does she know' But that was
until I read the entire message... 'LOL cause everytime I eat

those fiber one bars I do baaad lmao' ...she might as well have
said 'do you feel like youre dropping bombs in your shorts' cuz
that is exactly how I feel. So I thought about it and wondered if
it was just us who felt that way. I Googled 'Fiber One' and
google suggested automatically right away 'Fiber One bars
gas'. So there had to be something to it.And here I am, sitting
in the waiting room of the office I work for, having to fart so
badly but not able to leave my desk as there are patients
waiting. I am also having a hard time keeping my mouth shut
while I read this column and also the comments left by others.
I am laughing so hard, my stomach hurts more and I am
practically crying tears of laughter.
I have never wanted a Friday to be over as much as I want
today. All I ask is, Fiber One, why did you have to taste so
good???

Ok, so my 2 year old doesn't know the difference that her
mommy is endlessly tooting after 1 fiber bar - 2 DAYS AGO!!!
My 8 year old has a better idea that something is wrong with
her mommy. I can't believe the never ending gas! It was kind
of funny at first and now I'm thinking when is it going to end!
Thank goodness my husband didn't hear the longevity of the
farts and the volume! He wouldn't have believed it came from
me! He doesn't want to hear anything about it. I can't even get
intimate for fear that some god awful smell will come lurking
out! Let alone some tremendous noise! I told my mother and
she just laughed endlessly, she thought it was funny. I told her
it would be a great prank to play on her senior citizen friends!
It's been 2 days. I can't believe it's not over yet--I only had 1
fiber bar yesterday after my workout in the morning and a cup
of coffee. My husband wlll be taking these tasty treats to work
to bestow a gift to his co-workers!

Oh my gosh, I haven't laughed this hard for months. I was

spend a bunch of money on gluten-free products tonight! I
casually mentioned my new issue with a good friend and that I
eat a lot of fiber including Fiber One bars and she mentioned
that those alone could cause what I was experiencing. Sure
enough, I have felt great all day and don't have that "I'm trying

I commute 45 minutes and thought these would be a good,
quick car breakfast. I work in retail, with all men. As the only
girl there, I try to maintain some amount of decorum. But, once
the farts started, I decided to throw caution to the wind (pun
intended) and just let them rip. You should have seen the guy's
faces! Priceless! I fortunately had the scent-free poots, but the
decibel levels, frequency and length of each release were
incredible! Award winning! The 7 guys I work with were all
humbled. I was thinking I would take the rest of the bars I
have, cut them in half, roll into balls, dip in chocolate and bring
them to work next week to treat my team!
Btw, FUNNIEST site ever! Great to know it's not just me. Woke
my husband up 3 times last night. I will NEVER eat them again,
but I will use them to prank others!

I started weight watchers last week and everybody at the
meeting raved about the Fiber One yogurt and bars, so I went
out and bought both. By Saturday night I was farting nonstop
and in the bathroom every 10 minutes. I thought it was the
edemames I was eating, so loving the zero point yogurt and
the 2 point bars I went to Costco and got the mega box of the
bars. I was still farting and being a school bus driver today was
the first day of school. I was trying to squeeze out a SBD
when.... can you say skidmarks? Thats when I came straight
home took a shower and googled these bars. I have been

laughing and farting nonstop. I am taking these back to Costco

today!!!! Thanks for the info and the good laugh.

at someone's face... thanks to the fiber one bars, even though i
missed after the first throw, the smell successfully lingered in
the pillow for the second throw. it was great. I just emailed him
the link to this page too.

Trying to be healthier I have tried to cut back on sugar unless
there is a lot of fiber. Incredibly, I discovered these great tastng
bar that had enough fiber to make me feel not so guilty about
eating them. I ate several at the beginning of the week, along
with starting an exercise program at the gym, and was
mortified at what ended up occuring. I told my husband that I
thought they made me fart and he wasn't so sure....until last
night leaving the first football scrimmage and he had walking
farts all the way back to the car! I of course asked if he had
eaten some bars and he said he finished off the box.
Ridiculous. So this afternoon googled Fiber One bars gas and
found this. I have never laughed so hard. Thanks for all the
stories and I will never buy these again!

I have been bringing a bar to work every day this week for a
mid morning snack.

After I ate today (Friday), I got another one of those bendover

cramps and started farting again. I went on the internet and
typed in "gas pain after eating" and by the time I was done
reading, I had diagnosed myself with an ulcer, Krohn's disease
and stomach cancer.

Then I thought really hard about what I had been eating

differently lately, dug through my trash can and found the
wrapper. I typed in "Fiber One and gas" and found a name for
my pain.

I am going to bring the remaining bars in to work and leave in

the lunch room.

me-I'm dying here!
My Fiber One Bar Story:
So, my mom and I were flying out very early the next day on
vacation and so I stopped by the drug store to grab some early
morning/plane snacks (oh boy!). I grabbed a case of Starbucks
canned Frapps and a box of Fiber One Bars (I thought it would
be a good breakfast bar). Well, we each had one that morning
and then during our first leg of our plane flight. Mom and I
were FARTING all day!! Through both flights, I told mom that I
was gassy and diarhea. A plane is not the place you want to
feel bloated and have the constant urge to use the bathroom.
Oh, and it smells-BAD!!!! (BTW, I'm cracking myself up telling
this story and reliving it in my mind.) When we arrived at our
destination, it was only lunchtime. We visited with my great
Aunt who we had not seen in 10+ years. We were gassing off
every 10 minutes/using the bathroom. And, it smelled!!!
Everything cleared out by the next day, but we sure did learn
our lesson-No more Fiber One Bars!! It's not worth it!!
#292 Lindsey on 2010-08-26 22:55 (Reply)
I am the sister to Lindsey above:
Here is my story....I started out eating these bars on Sunday
morning on my way to church as a quickie breakfast. The
FARTS didnt hit me until about 11:30..in the middle of the
service...I had to leave and use the bathroom...then add La
Carretta (our every Sun lunch) after all that! WHEWWW!!!!
Then came VBS at our church, and stupid me, hadnt clued in
yet to Fiber1 being the culprit...and I would eat 2 of those

things and then go to church to work on VBS stuff!! OH the

CRAMPS and GAS and FARTS....just walking down the hall and
they will float out, even while you are suckin your cheeks
together trying to prevent it...and OH the STINK!!! Please Lord,
dont let there be anyone else in the hallway around me!!!!! I
have found that if I want to eat one, I eat them on days where I
am going nowhere, and I will eat it as an evening snack....and
then I can repay my husband for all the farts he expells on
me!! ;-) Just last night, he woke up and told me to quit shaking
the bed laughing from my farts!! And woudl I please put a cork
in it, cause I smelled like the poop factory down near Eastman!
LOLOL
Sidenote* I am good with my fiber..I eat steel cut oats with
freshly ground flax seed nearly every day....these bars are a
joke! i am sure the manufacturers thought it would be hilarious
to make them..kinda like the Chinese toy people who put 3000
wire or plastic ties onto the toys and it takes 3 yrs to open one?
They just wish they could be flies on the walls of our homes!

I have been eating these almost every day along with the
cereal. Some days my gas is so bad that they come out like a
heavily loaded machine gun, in rapid fire. My husband gets
appalled but I think he's secretly jealous that I have surpassed
him in the ability to produce such a muscial stream of them
with such amplification for a long string of time! The warm
ones are the dangerous ones.
The one thing that really makes us laugh is that our German
shepherd,who is a fantastic watch and guard dog, would
sometimes hear me fart in themiddle of the night and would
thunder out of the bedroom towards the door thinking
someone ws knocking on it and brak her head off for about five
minutes before she calms down!
A friend of mine has a can of airfreshner in each room of her
house due to her diet and the cereal and fiber bars.

General Mills, you ought to market it for a birth control device

because no man or woman is going to be in the mood with all
that combustable gas getting in the way of romance!

I just finished a phone call with my mom confirming that I was
not the only person with Fiber One related gas. I ate two of the
bars from my 10-pack within two days. I thought the gas on
the first day was a fluke, but by day two the farts were so
intense that I knew something had to be going on. My husband
kept saying, "Stop pushing them out like that!" -- Little did he
know, they were that long and loud all on their own. That night,
I was awakened more than once by the farts coming from
beneath the covers! By morning, I found that I had my first
ever SKID MARK in my underwear! I am thrilled to know that I
am not alone in this! Good luck to all others who now need to
bleach their underwear!
#298 Skiddy McFartpants on 2010-09-02 21:34 (Reply)
First, I have to say how much I love these fiber bars. I have
always eschewed any type of candy or "granola bar" simply
because they had no real nutritional value. That is not to say
that I didn't WANT to eat candy. Now they went and put fiber
into a granola bar and for once I have an excuse to eat it. Alot
of it, at any time of the day or night - because it's "healthy"
right? Yes, but then the farts start. Uh huh.
Just so you get the idea here, I am deaf. So realistically, a fart
shouldn't wake me up at night, correct? Well. Let me tell you. I
sleep in bed with my iPhone under the pillow in case it rings. I

was farting so loud and so boldly that I actually woke myself up

thinking that the iPhone (on vibrate) was ringing and that there
was some sort of emergency at hand. Well, there was, but of
the farting type.
Heck, I don't know about you all, but I guess I love to fart
because there's not a darn thing in this whole world that can or
will ever get me to stop eating them. I've been eating at LEAST
one a day since April. You know how hard it is to get 9 grams of
fiber somewhere else that tastes like THAT? No way! I am a
skinny little chick and this is my chance to eat "candy" without
feeling guilt or remorse so I eat and eat them!
Now if they'll just start putting 9 grams of fiber into Reese's
Peanut Butter Cups and Apple Fritters we will know we have
died and are in heaven.
Yippee!

I have a setup in my garage where I put a board on a ladder,
my netbook on the board, and the ladder in front of my bike,
which is on a Blackburn trainer so I can surf the net while I ride
my bike. It's even more fun when I've eaten a Fiber Fart bar
because I get to lift my ass up off the seat every few minutes
to release some jet propulsion. Even better when I am reading
this article about Fiber Fart bars while on my bike after I ate
one laughing and farting and exercising all at the same time. It
keeps some of the odor in the garage, too.
Often I will eat three or four (total) for breakfast. I love these
little weapons. I make a recipe mixture on a plate with a
variety of fart bars to compliment my taste buds.
.5 Fiber One Oats & Chocolate
.5 Fiber One Oats & Caramel
.5 Fiber One Strawberries & Chocolate
.5 Fiber One Chocolate Mocha (my a.m. fave)

.5 South Beach Diet Smores Fiber Bar

.5 Kellogg's Fiber Plus Peanut Butter
.5 Kellogg's Fiber Plus Chocolate Chip
.5 Kellogg's Fiber Plus Dark Chocolate with Almonds
The mix equals about 4 total fart bars and makes a wickedly
sharp and handsome smelling gas. One afternoon I'd been
busy scenting up the downstairs area and my husband,
unaware of my morning fart bar habit and smelling the rich
smells, asked me "hey, what are you cooking in here, it smells
kinda good."
I was silent.
By lunchtime I was farting a cornacopia of scent and sound.

I am crying hysterically, reading this. I long ago banned them
in my home after my husband, two sons, and I all ate two each

husband locked the windows. It was HELL. Unfortunately, he
has bought them in bulk at Sams club. It comforts me to know I
am not close to being the only one with this "problem". I will
NEVER eat them again. There really has to be some chemical,

as I eat tons of fiber, and have never had the same reaction.

The amount of farts that I produced today, caused greated
concern that I called my husband at his Firehouse and asked
what am I dong to produce such loud NON smelly farts. I went
into full descriptive detail of how long they lasted, the sound
them made and the utter disbelief that they did NOT smell. I
have been taking new vitamins. I googled every ingredient
thinking it may be that. Put in google search bars, what causes
alot of farts.. FIBER ONE BARS came up.

Well I tried one today at lunch. When I got back to work
(massage therapist) within a few minutes my stomach started
rumbling so badly I actually mistook the sound for thunder
rolling in, then I realized it was me!!! I had to hang on for
another hour and a half before I could head to the privacy of
my truck. Then the rest of the day, every 5 minutes I had a
"gas attack". I know exactly what caused it and I'm gonna put
these snacks from Hell out in a dish with a sign 'FREE SNACK

don't taste that good, really.

Well, my boyfriend and I decided to try these things and man, I
thought it was just me. But when I found out that he too had
been straining to not fart all day (mind you, we both were at
work and trying to not fart around the people we are working
with!) we both came to the conclusion that it had to have been
those bars. We decided to do a test and we both ate totally
different things the next day, except for these fiber bars, and
wham! We both were farting up a storm. I don't think I've ever
farted so much in my life, even when eating a high fiber diet.
These things are clearly fart bars. Taste good, but the after
effects are not very pleasing...if you can put up with the gas
you're gonna have after, go for it!

Wow, I'm so happy I found this website. Glad to see I'm not the
only one having a ridiculous gas problem. My dad bought these
bars last week, so I decided to try one. I didn't have any
problems until I had a second one a few hours later. Two hours
after that, HOLY FARTS. Nonstop gas explosion for HOURS!!!!

I'm not even kidding. The farts were SO loud that my dog was
scared. First she was hiding between my pillows, but then one
fart was so loud, she flew off my bed and ran out the door to
try and run upstairs. I tried to get her back in my room, but she
wouldn't budge! She was scared to death! It was the funniest
thing in the world. I was laughing so much that I couldn't hold
in my farts, which was probably scaring her even more.
I will never eat those bars again!

All summer my husband and I kept getting gas off and on.
Then I had my colonoscopy before Labor Day and found out I
had a diverticulum. Eat a high fiber diet, they said. So I
decided to make Fiber One my mid-morning snack. I have been
miserable ever since. The gas makes me feel like a balloon is
inflating in my belly. I'm constantly worried about farting in
class. (I'm a high school teacher) Fortunately, nearly all of mine
have been odorless, but every once in awhile...Whewwwww!
And no relief after the release. One doctor just told me to take
Gas-X four times a day. Guess what? It doesn't work. Now that I
know the culprit, I'll look for another solution. Too bad GM isn't
interested in our misery.
#331 Tootles on 2010-10-05 19:22 (Reply)
One thing I don't understand is that I used to eat them so
much in high school--I would sometimes eat more than my
recommended value because they were so good. I never once
had a problem with them. Now I'm in college and it takes so
much effort not to fart in the middle of class. I've occasionally
had to run to the bathroom in the middle of lecture to let a big

one rip. My boyfriend has woken me up numerous times to

report that I had farted on him in the middle of the night. Also,
I don't think it is doing me any good as I have not experienced
typical results that fiber usually brings (if you get my drift). I
think I will be giving up these fiber one bars and opting for
something with actual wheat fiber in it.

I stupidly one day ate 1 1/2 bars while I was at work. Now
normally I fart more than the average person but this day, I
was keeled over in with such gas pains I was fartingin my seat.
Silent ones of course but my stomach was in such pain I
couldn't stand it. I ended going home because I had so much
gas pain & was letting the fart bombs go that I couldn't even
walk upright. Never eat them at work and only eat 1/2 a bar!

didn't realise it was the fiber one until yesterday when i ate 2, i
was studying in the library and i had to leave cos hold my farts

I saw these on sail at the store I normally go to. They looked
pretty good to I decided to buy some. I tried one and though
they tasted really good, so I ate 3 more. I was completely
normal for a while, but about an hour of so after eating this,
dear god. I was farting non stop every 3 seconds. It felt like a
bomb exploded in my intestine and the explosion squeezed out
my butt cheeks. the next 2 days I had random fart surges
every now and then. I later earned the name "Gassy Gwen" by
my friends.
#352 Gassy Gwen on 2010-11-26 04:14 (Reply)
I wanted something healthy and chocolatey so I ate a few fiber
one bars, or should I say, evil laxative trick bars.
However, the high decibel farts weren't the only side effect.
Within 2 hours I was having horrrible cramping and severe
liquid diarrhea, and spent the next 6 hours on the toilet. I could
have traced the path my intestines take through my abdomen,
by the obnoxious gurgles and pain. I became so dehydrated
and was in such agony, my husband wanted to take me to the
hospital. Things must have sounded pretty scary from the
other side of the bathroom door.
I did lose some weight, but I would not recommend this as a
weight loss method.
Homeland Security should figure out how to sneak these things
in the diet of terrorist suspects.

The other morning I was in such extreme pain I was worried

that my appendix might be ready to burst so my husband had
to drive me to the ER. I don't know if you were joking in your
post about childbirth pains but I labored and gave birth 3
weeks ago and at the hospital I described the pain as being
worse than contractions. Seriously. I had to do my breathing in
order to deal.
While there they could find nothing wrong with me, and the
pain went away just as they were about to administer
morphine, so I declined the pain meds and eventually went
home, never knowing the cause of the pain. (I had eaten a
Fiber One bar the night before).
Yesterday evening I ate a Fiber One bar and a few hours later I
was in excruciating pain on the toilet, hanging onto the towel
rack and trying not to pass out and throw up at the same time.
I could not believe the quality and quantity of crap that came
out of me. This morning the gas pains continued and
exhausted from the pain I decided to go ahead and take that
one percoset I had been saving after I had my baby via Csection and this relieved the pain, although right now there is
still a rumbling in the Bronx.
I began to remember a conversation around the lunch table at
work between a few co-workers about how they had tried Fiber
One bars and it had given them horrid stomach aches...so after
Googling I found your website. There is something NOT RIGHT
about those damn bars. I had been wondering why they, being
so delicious, are ALWAYS on sale at the grocery store.
Mmmhmm!

Thanks to fiber one (not the bars-the poptarts) this was the
worst Christmas of my life. I could care less about farting, (and
I'm burping too) but my stomach is so swollen that I look
pregnant- my jeans don't fit me, and they weren't tight to
begin with, my stomach and bowels hurt so bad that I feel like
I'm dying from the inside out. I ate one pack of poptarts by
fiber one last night and I've been in so much pain today that it
has stopped me from having a normal day. Or even a
somewhat normal day. I can't eat- I keep throwing up well I'm
not throwing up FIBER ONE unfortounately, and I'm in
excrutiating pain. I'm in gas hell. I tried gas-x cause farting
doesn't relieve it, neither does burping, and my mom finally
decided that I must be constipated so I just finished eating my
second pack of them trying to make myself crap. Then I came
to the computer just to see if they've honestly helped anyone
else go #2 and I come across this page. Now I'm in tears but
not from laughter- from horror because I just ate another pack
and I'm terrified of what the next couple of days will bring me.
It hurts so bad. My mouth has a perma-taste of burp, my
butthole hurts from farting, my stomach is KILLING me. I can't
take another day or two of this. Its terrible. Its the worst thing
I've even done and I am thinking about going in the bathroom
and MAKING myself throw up just to get this fiber one shit out
of me.

How can they sell this shit to us legally? Its got to be

unhealthy, I mean, it REALLY hurts. What can I do to relieve
myself? Please help me. Please. I have a baby and I'm in so
much pain that I'm having a hard time taking care of him, I
don't know what to do, I'm going ot have to stay at my mom's
again and beg her not to go to work tomorrow to help me with
my son. I'd give almost anything to make this gassy pain stop.
Please help me, if you have any suggestions. I'll try anything
that sounds like it might help me.

Well tweetynole asked if they make you poo? Well not for me...
it all starts when your belly rumbles// imagine the worst case
of gas build up in your bowels. It feels like pure air with some

wet fart spatter. But in my experience with fibre one bars it

does NOT make make me poop it seems to stop you from
pooping and makes your guts build up the gas and the raw
sewage in the bowels and lets it out with with air pressure
factor about 40 p.s.i or more. In some cases it will give a
person the runs."So they calm" but it depends on ones system,

OMG I ate a peanut butter with oats fiber one bar yesterday
and it was sooooo good! That was a snack before dinner....for
dinner i had green beans..I assumed the gas I had was from
the beans...it was the longest and worst gas I have had in my
whole life!! I am not one to laugh at farts..but i found myself
laughing so hard..because they sounded more like a song LOL!
I woke up fine..no bloating..gas gone..so I was glad to be rid of
it...and figured beans would not be a staple of mine anymore.
I had another peanut butter with oats fiber bar for my snack
today...and low and behold ...the gas was back but worse..good
thing I was off from work today LOL!
I typed in bad gas from fiber and starting reading this web
page..and realized I am not alone in my gassiness Lol...i have
laughed so hard I have cried..in between farting that is...I am

Only the names have changed to protect the innocent. My

was a wedding anniversary gift. Don't know why but every
time we've taken a trip we both get constipated you folks know
what I'm talkin. Ya, we're the one's at the buffet line that grabs
cereal bowls and fills it up with stewed prunes. Anyhow, my
wife had a great idea she packed fiber bars in our luggage, you
guessed it Fiber One Bars. We've seen these things advertised
on Tv so that's what she bought. Just to be sure we ate two a
piece our first night, Sweet Jesus, we never farted so hard and
loud, no doubt the passengers thought it was a fog horn
screaming in the night. Never again, we'll stick to prunes next
trip.

I'm so glad to see that it's not just me. I was inhaling these
bars like they were sprinkled with crack or something. After a
few days, I couldn't figure out why I was farting loud enough to
wake the dead. I'm lactose intolerant but I hadn't had that
much dairy. After blasting a fart that nearly pulled my insides
out, I figured out it was the bars. Gatdamn General Mills...LOL!

I think I've farted about 20 times since reading all of these
comments from laughing so hard. I've been eating these bars
for over a month now just because I love the taste of them. I
usually eat them as a quick breakfast snack, or sometimes as
an after dinner treat... chocolate mocha you are sooo tasty. It
never occured to me that my WEEKS of stomach upset and
horrendous farts were from these bars until yesterday when a
friend mentioned the same problem. I thought it was just from
my new medication. I decided to test it by eating another one,
and low and behold, 2 hours later here I am considering going
to buy some bean-o just to relieve the pain. Thank GOD my
husband has no sense of smell, or he would divorce me in a
heart beat. Though my sense of smell is so good I've been
thinking of divorcing my own ***. Thank you for sharing your
hilarious stories, they've helped my passing of gas today much
easier.

Mine started with a coupon. A damn $1 off 2 boxes of Fibre
One. If I could go back in time, I would have never clipped it.
I'm sick of my same old granola bars, figured the extra fibre
wouldn't hurt? Right? Although not needed, I'm a pretty
'regular' type of girl. Devoured 2 of them. Freakin' delicous,
thank God I didn't eat more. Extreme gas and bloat set in. Kids
kept asking what smells? I said it was the garbage. They were
SBDs, all of them. Too many to count. Had 2 more the next
morning, I knew they were the cause the night before, but
figured my body would get used to the extra fiber and they
taste so good!!!!! Almost crapped myself working out that

night. Wasn't worth the pain and smell. Threw both boxes at
the coffee pot in work. They were gone in minutes.

School started at 8:00 and by 8:25, it felt like someone had put
an IED up my anus! I didn't have a free period until 9:45! The
kids started asking me if I was ok because the veins in my
neck were poking out from my straining to keep all Hell from
breaking loose. Every time I tried to sneak to a corner of the
room to relieve myself of the evil possessing my insides, some
kid was behind me asking a question. These bars are terrorists

My husband and I are sitting on the front porch with tears in
our eyes from laughter. We just realized that both of us have
been bloated and farting for two days but did not let each
other know. My husband sat in a meeting today and was
literally dripping in sweat from his upper lip trying not to 'fart'.
He said that he was beginning to worry because he was afraid
that something was seriously wrong with him. He said that he
thought he had a Hiatal Hernia or something. My niece was
sitting next to me in church last night and I passed gas, she
literally got up and moved further down the church pew to get
away from me. After church, the preacher and his wife were
sitting down at a table and I was standing over them talking.
They were just talking and talking to me and I could not get
away from them. I was about to die because I was trying to
hold 'one' in. After calling my husband to pick up some Gas-X,
he admitted that he had been also bloated and in major pain
all day. We sat on the porch trying to figure out what we had
eaten to make us feel like this for 2 days and finally realized
that the Fiber Bars were the only new thing added to our diet. I

almost died after finding this page. Ha! Ha! I am in hysterics as

I read this stuff.

OMG....this has to be the funniest page I have ever come
across...I too love these bars...I was having trouble pooping
and a co-worker said here try a fiber one bar they are so good
so I ate the bar and loved it. After work I got a box and ate 2 in
a row...I had really bad farts and kept going to the bathroom..I
tried and tried to hold them in at my desk and the gas was
building up I had so much pain not only in my stomach but my
back too...of course I didn't think it was the bars...so I went
home ate another bar and continued for days...after 3 days of
unbearable gas pain and the wicked smell I ask my co-worker
do you happen to get gas after eating a bar...she starts
laughing and said why do you think I am always going to the
bathroom...lol...I still eat 2-3 bars a week or else I can't poop. I
have tried pepto, beano, malox and no luck they don't help at
all...I now use gasx it help reduce the gas pain but it will not
help reduce the eggy farts...My kids are grossed out and they
are so bad I gag...this evening I was laying in bed and had a
silent but deadly toot and my kitten was laying beside me got
up 2 seconds later and ran off my bed...even my kitten can't
take the toxic fumes....I must have farted 50 times just in the
minutes of writing this message..I am surprised my laptop has
not melted.

from a bad dream. I dreamt that satan was raping my ass, then
when i woke up and my ass still hurt and the room smelled like
sulphur from the great pits of hell, it dawned on me: it was the
F1B's!!!!

A week later I came home from work, ate 2 F1B's, then was
struck with great fear and doom; I had a massage scheduled
for later that afternoon and it was too late to cancel... I had to
come clean to my massage therapist, told her if she saw my
clinching my cheeks that I was holding back the Winds of Thor
due to an indescretion with my F1B's. She told me to just go
ahead and fart but those farts are humiliating and I told her I
just couldn't subject her to that torture. It all turned out OK in
the end, but it was touch and go a few times.

I had one for breakfast and a few hours later I was running
from a training session at work to FART and BELCH in the
bathroom. It was all I could do to get to the bathroom, walking
normally, holding it in for fear of crapping my pants. I got so
bloated and felt like I was going to explode. It's not just friendly
loud gas coming out. You must be on the toilet when you crank
out these bombs, there is blow-by!

The first time I bought the bars of evil I ate 5 in a 10 hour span.
The first night involved lots of gas but the next morning my
stomach bubbled and I couldn't stop pooping for two and a half
days. Something so delicious shouldn't be trusted.They lure
you with their chocolaty goodness and then attach your insides
with a vengeance. I should've known something was up with
Fiber One bars when I tried to get my four year old to eat them
and he refused. Children always know...

The first time I ate one of these lovely little landmines was
several years ago. I was expecting my hubby home soon, and
had managed to stink the house up something horrible. I threw
open the windows to air out the place, and decided that when
the bombs hit I should just step out onto the porch. Well,
wouldn't you know, I had to delay going out on the porch
because of a phone call, and by the time I was able to step out
there was probably 50 pounds of air pressure on the loading
dock. I flew out the door on to the porch, and released the
loudest fart I think I've ever heard, something you might hear
from a nice off-shore boat. As luck would have it, the nextdoor-neighbor was in his side yard working on his broken down
lawn mower. He whipped around so fast he nearly lost his
balance. All I could think to say was, "I think I hear a storm
coming- better get in the house." I never could look him in the
eye when we passed on the sidewalk after that.

Well, it started one day on road trip to Ikea -which was an hour
away-, I decided to eat 2 of these tasty treats in route. As I was
walking around the store I couldn't help put leave a cloud of
toxic gaseous fumes. I hurriedly moved around hoping no one
would faint from my embarrassment of humanely cloud
excrement. I walked around wondering what was causing my
booty to clap and that warm sensation of air to float up my
back and I couldn't figure it out as nothing in this world can
cause me to fart with every step I took.
As I drove home that evening with my -was hoping to remainsignificant other - as I figured I might get dumped on the drive
home-, I held my ass cheeks tightly and the farting subsided
and I was in the clear. We both went to bed in peace that
evening spooning under the comforter and then all of a sudden
MACHINE GUN explosive sounds startled us from our sleep. I
realized it was my ass and my cuddle buddy wasn't so happy
from the stench nor my ass sounding like a war gun alarm
clock. I all of a sudden had this rumbling sound in my tummy
and ran to the bathroom. My booty had lightening squirts for
hours every time I thought I was done I had more...so much I
couldn't return to bed or go to work the next day as I was
dehydrated and afraid to shart at work. FIBER ONE, you owe
me a day of work's pay and a new cuddle buddy!

OMG! It's the chicory root fiber! I've had IBS my entire life and
now a slight version of diverticulitus. But one day I bought a
box of FIBER ONE bars on sale and holy moly! I had farts as
long as the Mississippi River. I couldn't believe it! I had gas up
to my chin. I kept running back and forth to the ladies room for
my M16 fart sessions. I normally throw unwanted food "over
the fence" at home for the wild critters but not with this stuff. I
threw them in the trash. I did not want to blow up some poor
unsuspecting animal. And then, the other day, I bought a box
of the Kashi chewy granola bars. No where, no where did they
indicate they were fiber bars. Well, after a second day of
misery, I checked the label. Shazam! It contained chicory root
fiber! I called the Kashi people and complained. They acted so
ignorant. I told them they need to indicate on the label that
they are "fiber" bars. I have no problems going to the
bathroom and would rather avoid farting at all costs. Who are
these people that need this crap to take a crap???? It aint me!

These comments are hilarious. I bought these for my son
because he tasted these on a camp out and said how good
they were. I put these in his lunches but he had not mentioned
about the gas so I will have to ask him. Anyhow, we brought
him a couple on a family night visit to boy scout camp last
night but he didn't want them so my husband and I both ate
one on the drive back. It didn't hit me until we got home (about
2 hours later). I didn't think too much of it beause I have IBS
and lots of stuff can give me trouble but this time did seem
more intense than usual. I finally fell asleep and the next
morning was awful (non stop gas; I coud literally push on my
stomach and force the gas out). I had a suspicion it was those
bars and then I googled it and found this. My husband was

completely unaffected but he can eat about anything and not

be bothered by it. NEVER AGAIN but they were very tasty.
#492 Colleen on 2011-07-22 12:01 (Reply)
Just ran across this site - I just bought a big box of these at
Costco because they looked good.

So, will these Fiber One bars make things worse if your
girlfriend is already so, so gassy as it is? Or will these probably
not affect her because she is a real gassy person already?

Not sure if I should take not even open these and take them
back to Costco or just have my girlfriend try them - maybe
they won't affect her gas anymore than she already has.

Anyone please help - let me know.

First off I am laughing so hard tears are rolling down my face.
Last night I ate my frst ever Fiber One bar.. it was good. This
morning I ate some Fiber One cereal.. it was good. Today at
lunch I had another Fiber One bar..lol. Right this very moment,
my stomach is so bloated and hard.. I look like I am pregnant..
oh shit. I am a nurse care manager at a hospital.. I have had
the worst gas all day long. While in patient's rooms today.. I
have had to pinch my butt cheeks together to try not to fart. I
was in misery in the elevator laughing inside just waiting for
the door to open. So I decided to look this up on the internet..
because I am laying in bed thinking "Oh my God something is
wrong.." lol.. and I found everyone else in the same boat.. I
agree they are evil..lol

will probably ease of the fiber one bars too...LOL :-)

These bars are ridiculous. My boyfriend gave me the ol' "its ok
to fart in front of me" a few months ago. So I got comfortable
and had my occasional fart. Then the fibers came along and he
desperately regrets his decision. After I eat one of those bars
for lunch by the time we lay down for some nightime tv by butt
blasts are unstoppable! glad im not the only one ladies

Ok, first of all, I have to admit I've had some great laughs from
the posts I've read here. But on a serious note, I can't really
feel too much sympathy because we all (clearly) have internet
access so do some research.
Several websites say that you should introduce a high fiber
product (or diet) gradually. Ok, so one bar doesn't seem like
much. However, the second part is the water intake. You have
GOT to drink TONS of water. Honestly, I wouldn't make this up.
I am 43 years old and a week ago weighed 151 and decided to
really get fit again. Back to a size 6. The first time I picked up a
box of these bars I was in love. They really taste delicious but a
few hours later my house was afire. I couldn't even sit still for
all the gas. Later that day I hopped on my treadmill and walkran for an hour while drinking water. Gas resolved. I mean
literally gone.
It's the same as when I had my hysterectomy when I was 37.
They made me walk around every day because movement
releases gas. The same way you pat a baby on the back to
burp them.
Now, I have a Fiber One bar every single morning and I drink
no less than 4 quarts of water every single day. That sounds
like a lot, but my skin is glowing, I've lost 6 pounds in a week
and I feel fabulous.
Get yourself a pitcher to sit on your desk and drink all day
slowly. You won't be peeing every minute, your skin will look

good, the pounds drop off and the gas lasts nowhere as long as
when you don't take in that water. And go for a walk on your
lunch hour or after work if you can. I can sincerely say I can
now eat one or two bars a day with no issues. And as a backup,
yeah, some Beano is good.
6 pounds lost in a week and pretty skin? You go ahead and skip
your fiber bars if you want, I'm eatin' mine!!!

HAHAHA...I got on a fitness kick last week, bought Fiber One
bars because the Special K bars don't seem to fill me up.
They're awesome, I got the peanut butter kind. Had my first
one for breakfast and the second as an afternoon snack, and
now I'm sitting here typing this in front of my computer, afraid
to go to the gym because I don't want to embarass myself. This
is insane, I never fart. Ever. I know lots of people say that and
lie, but I really don't. Now I just want to camp out on the toilet.

My mom lives off of these things and my brother and I die from
them. Her farts become toxic when she eats Fiber One bars.
The loudest, longest, smelliest and most prolific farts in history
eek out of her. They could be used as weapons of terror. We
knew those damned chocolate-flavored snacks were the culprit

and this post has confirmed it. I think I will use this as support
in our Fiber One intervention.

Omg I laughed so much I cried after reading this! I ate of one
these devil fart bars without realizing the damage it would do. I
work as a photographer and normally make fart noises to make
the children laugh. Now I can really fart on them for
smiles....you should see the parent's reaction! They are in
tears. I have told all of my customers about these bars and
some of them are going to try it just to see if it will have the
same effect on them. It feels like there is a balloon in my
stomach all day! My coworkers call me the fart queen now. I
literally farted 5 times while writing this! This site is freaking

I read the first like.. 20 comments, and tears were streaming
down my freakin' face! This shit is hilarious! I looked this up
because unknowingly I ate like 3 of these bars during an 8 hour
road trip, and yes it held off my hunger for a long time, but
when we arrived home my fiance and I were laying on our bed
when I started telling him how cramped up my stomach feels.
Just then I moved my leg a certain way and a the loudest fart
just jumped outta my butt like I had no control over it. We both
instantly started laughing but then with each laugh I let outout came a tiny little fart- and it went on for like 12 farts, and I
couldn't stop laughing! I was like hahaha I can't stop! Needless
to say I was in tears from laughing so hard and my fiance just
thought I was a disgusting person lol. Please keep posting your
stories this site is awesome for cheering anyone up.

I decided a few weeks ago to eat a healthy diet. I have been

eating fiber one bars, sometimes 2 or 3 a day. My
granddaughter says NANA because the flatulence comes out of
my ass is so loud and long it has to break records. I read these
blogs and laughed so hard that I had tears running down my
face!! I am so happy to know that I am not alone. I have
learned not eat them at work because it causes me great
embarrassment when I leave farts when I'm walking past other
people. My poops are more regular than they have ever been
in my life. I hate to give them up.

brother about a month or two ago in the big boxes.

Not noticing it so much at first....taking about two months to

realize it, but EVERYTIME i eat one of these delicious things i
have to fart NONSTOP.

I didnt want to tell anybody in my family i just tried not to eat

them so much, one day not being able to ride the bus home
from school because of my fear O.o....
Then today i come over too my brothers house and he Funnily
says "WOO!! Thoes fiber one bars had me farting all night!! My
room smelt sooo bad, i almost had to leave!!!!!" (LMFAO)

In my mind thinking !THATS WHAT IT IS ITS THOSE DAMN FIBER

These things are evil, they're delicious and you always want
more.
But THEY DO CAUSE GAS and an extremely upset tummy!!

In a meeting today, I offered one of these bars to my boss. A
person in the meeting quickly pointed out the farting effects
Fiber One has on the human body. I thought she was pulling
my leg and then I laughed and farted. As a medical person
myself, I am surprised I did not realized my increase gas and
farting started after eating two and three of these bars a day. I
have spent some much money in gas medication including
Beno and many other crap. I wish I can take all that shit back
and get my money right away, but I had sooo much gas I am
almost out of all anti-gas pills I bought. I am bringing those
deadly bars to work and let the farting begin. In the mean time
I will call all my doctors. Will cancel my colonoscopy,
abdominal ultrasound, and defenitely my Shrink appointment.
My husband doesn't need to move out and my little kid can
enjoy sleeping with me again. The mystery is solved. No longer
need to figure out were the farting in coming from, but I know
where that crap is going to go. At least I know now I don't have

medical stomach problem and will not require any type of

surgery. I am glad I found out the most up to date information
about this farting producing bar. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!

I am just falling out of my seat from laughter, at all these
posts! You guys are so funny! I can remember one morning,
while brushing my teeth getting ready for the day, I let a LOUD
one, that sent vibrations up my lower-most part of my back! It
was that loud that I scared myself, and said, "Good heavens! I
think I blew my ass out!" This was not related to these Fiber
One bars, either, but after reading these posts, I ventured out
and got three boxes, and had a carmel and oats bar; so good!
I'm usually gassy, anyway on account of my high fiber diet, but
these bars made me hungry! So, I imagine in an hour or so, I'll
be happily in Fartville, ripping one after the other. Good thing I
work alone at my job! Lol!

I indulged on about 3 fiber one caramel oat bars this morning
as I was quite hungry and they were very tasty. Then low and
behold about an hour later I had a little gas (no biggie). But
when the gas kept coming, it became funkier, louder and there
were loud gurgling and bubbling noises coming from my
intestines. I then knew something wasn't right. I recalled that
the fiber one bars contained chicory root extract as the first
ingredient so I Googled it. Much to my surprise a whole
heaping list of fiber one/gas websites came up. So this is how I
arrived here and also the reason I am leaving my comment. By
the way it is now about 7:00 pm and I am still somewhat gassy.
Needless to say it is times like this that I am glad I sleep alone.

couple bowls of raisin bran 3 fiber one bars and two shots of

long! I probably woke myself up 100 times with these long loud
motorboat style toots! the next day IT WAS THE LOUDEST
LONGEST DUCK-SOUNDING WET FARTS, AND JUST ABOUT
EVERY TWO STEPS AN SBD WOULD SLIP OUT! we continued our

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS PAGE. ok, so i think farts are
hilarious and always have. my husband and i both have. we
started eating the fart bars about three days ago, and ever
since we have been marveling at the long, winding loud,
violent farts that are coming out of both of our asses. it was
fun the first day, but by the third, i couldn't leave the house,
AND we had to make rules that we could not use feigned
affection in order to fart in one another's faces. i generally
LOVE busting ass, but this is just uncool. earlier, i was laying
under a blanket watching TV and when i got up and the blanket
fell, my husband gagged. he made a comment about releasing
the kraken. the stench is like a burnt turd with bad egg salad
topping it. and why are the farts so hot???? like lava.
my mom has been bitching about farting for awhile now, and
she was the one who gave me the box. i tried to call to tell her,
but she said she was busy. well, her car is going to continue to
be a fear factor until she calls me back, i suppose. i am so glad
i looked this up. and again, WHY ARE THE FARTS SO HOT????

Oh I've been eating these farts bars for years and I especially
like the new 90 calorie pretzels bars, they make me fart more
than ever. I have an 8 month old baby and you should see the
look on her face when Mommy belts out a man-sized
fart...several times in a row, for hours, her eyes are the size of
saucers! These farts are loud, long, smelly and you know what,
I enjoy it. Haha, farts are fun for EVERYONE, admit it, you all
like it too. My husband's world has been rocked, he cannot get
over how something so vile could come out of someone so
petite. I am at work about an hour after eating my fart bar and
I can feel the bubblin brown sugar coming, I can actually see
my belly moving around. This site is so great b/c I now know I
am not the only one sitting in a cubicle all with a brown cloud
over them. I tell ya, I cannot wait til quittin time so I can get in
my car and fart all the way home. Then when I get home, I can
just blame the baby for the terrible stank..tee hee. I wish we

could all meet up and have a Fiber One bar party, I bet we
would have the time of our lives! Happy Farting to all!

Oh. no. I bought a big box of these from Costco and ate four in
one sitting. And then I remembered why I stopped eating them
years ago. Over the next twelve hours I felt a lot of
uncomfortable pressure in my abdomen, like someone was
stirring a cauldron in my intestines and the bubbles were
churning into every crevice trying to burst out. I had to let one
rip every four minutes for at least a couple of hours and it
continued even as I went to sleep, when most normal farts
simply cease. Not these suckers. These keep coming where
others fear to tread.

The size of my abdomen was huge the next morning. I had

little corners of the house covered in a thin veil of stink. I
actually thought I had gained back a few pounds because my
stomach was bloated for at least 48 hours - enough to take me
a size up on the jeans. Literally, it looked like a 2-4 inch waist
difference in the mirror. And then the liquid. Chicory root is a
popular ingredient in laxatives, so one can only guess the
effect in bulk. Thank goodness this happened during the
weekend when I could hole up in the bunker and take 20minute breaks on the lou. I am not going to eat these things in
public. NO dates, meetings, errands within 48 hours of eating
them. I have been wondering if I am lactose intolerant but
none of those symptoms rival what I got from the fart bars.
Thank goodness I haven't seen a treadmill in years because I
can only imagine the explosive impact of these things with
high impact exercise. Pray the gym is empty that hour.

I just started a new job at a (very high end) Spa, and grabbed a
few of these on my way out the door at 4am. I ate the first on
the bus going to work, and experienced a terrible case of the
walking farts as a result. I thought maybe I was getting sick to
my stomach, and needed something to counteract the acids,

so I sat and slowly ate another one with a glass of ginger ale.
OMG! Walking around a high end spa, where quiet and clean
and nice smells are the supreme pull...I wound up leaving work
early, needles to say.

Wow! I bought Fiber One bars last week and had eaten one.
Sat down to watch a movie with my family about 2 hours later.
Good lord, I have never farted so loud or so much in my entire
lifecombined! I couldn't hold them back and didn't even know
they were coming. My family got a good laugh out of it but
somehow I figured it was the bars so I avoided them but left
them for others thinking it was just my system. Nope, went to
bed last night after my husband. Lifted the covers and the
most foul smell came flooding out. I said wtf? My husband said,
"I think you were right about those bars." LOL Gee, Ya think?
Walked into my daughters room today and it smelled like a

pack of something had died. Yep, she ate a bar this morning.
My husband and I were talking about it so I went to Google and
typed in Fiber One and google finished it with "and Farts"! lol

because if it makes contact with the leather it's going to sound

and when we are all together it sounds like we are in coal mine

last three days. Those evil little edible instruments of torture
ruined Mother's Day. My husband and I had to leave my
mother-in-law's house early because I was so afraid of
embarassing myself. On the way home I started
thinking...could it be the Fiber One Bars? After all, I did have
two last night, and there has to be a reason that I have farted
at least (literally,as you all know) 50 times today. Thank God
for Google. Now I just need to do another search and find out
how long it takes for them to work themselves out of your
system. I am not leaving the house until this digestive carnival
ceases.

I didn't think much about fiber one bars until today. I always
have been able to eat one as a snack and have no problem.
Today I ate three for lunch and went on my way. Biggest
mistake ever. The pressure in my abdomen made it hard to sit,
hard to walk, hard to hide my discomfort from my students. I
have never been so grateful to have students late for class as
now. I need that extra time to get the extra air out.

My husband and I eat fiber bars all of the time. The gas they
cause is hilarious! I'm not sure what else is in your diets that
makes your farts stink so bad, but it's not the fiber bars. When
we fart from these bars, there is little to no odor. We generally
have a pretty healthy diet, with the occasional stinky fart
bomb, but nothing like what I am reading in these posts. If
most of you would reevaluate what else you are eating
throughout the day, the gas produced by the fiber bars will not
be nearly smelly, but equally as loud, long and hilarious!

hello, RCG back again, I stopped eating the fiber bars for a
week or so b/c I hadn't been to the store so I finally got back to
my 90 calorie brownies. I ate one for breakfast at work, 1 hour
later I am already letting them slip out, I blame the smell on
people heating food up in the kitchen. Can you people even
believe that something so small and not even that filling is
capable of delivering such unpleasant odors. It is as though I
just ate 4 cans of pork and beans. This is gonna go on all day I
just know it! My cubicle walls are already brown!

blast a thousand hot stinky farts into the fibers of this chair
everyday of my life. I feel bad for whoever has to sit in this

maternity leave! Tee hee! Well, time for my afternoon snack of

My husband and I went on a trip with our three young
daughters.We took 4 boxes of the fiber one bars for energy
because it was a hiking trip and we were told these bars would
give us energy.We ate many of these bars but it was not until
after we had purchased our dinner that we all began to have
terrible gas.We farted so loudly including our children people
got away from us because of the sound and smell .We swore
we might have been poisoned from our dinner but now we see
it was the fiber bars!! Does anyone know how long this gas will
last? LOL

Evil bars! I had no idea what was causing the unending smelly
farts until I typed in "Does fiber cause gas?" and came across
this site. OMG. I am not alone! I started to eat these because I
just got braces and they were "nutritious" and easy to eat. Oh,
my poor coworkers! I have never laughed so hard at myself
and others than I have reading all your comments. I just
bought two bars and I will donate them to the men who work in
the plant....hehehehe.

On one of our expeditions to Toledo from Louisville we had
packed snacks for our happy family of 4. Included in those
snacks just happened to be 2 boxes of Fiber One bars. About
45 minutes into our 6 hour construction delayed trip my 12
year old daughter starts to eat some bars. Because we told her

they were good she decided to eat the whole box! Before we
reached Cincinnati the most god awful smell started coming
out of the very back seat!!! She started complaining her
stomach was cramping and bubbling really bad. We asked how
much she had been eating and gasped at the quantity she told
us, at that point my wife tells me she had just had her third
bar! Now the fun really begins! Both my wife and daughter
take turns gassing us so bad my 14 year old puked, she just
could not take anymore and was crying! I have never been
happier to arrive in Toledo. Oh I almost forgot we had rented a
minivan because our car was in the shop getting a warranty
problem fixed. I told the agent at the desk there was a weird
smell that was coming from the A/C and it would not leave the
car, they said they would check it out. A week later the a get
called and said they wanted to apologize for the smell and
offer us a discount on our next rental from them, they
explained that they had to detail the van 3 times to get the
smell out. He joked and asked if we smuggled used baby
diapers across the country? My family had learned the lesson
or so I thought! My wife went to work last Thursday and ate 5
Fiber One bars mainly the Brownies. I could not sleep that night
and I had to go and buy a new pillow because every time I lay
me head down baby diarrhea scent pushes out from inside the
pillow!!! I have now banned them from house, I told her she
will have to find her a Fiber One dealer and treat it as a drug
deal.

I cannot stop laughing! My mom bought like 5 boxes of these
and there was nothing else in my house to eat. So I ate almost
an entire box. My friend came over and we could not stop
laughing at my farts. I blamed it on my monthly gift when I
offered my friend one! She told me it makes you poop, and so
here I am- the great farting mystery solved!!!

I bought 8 boxes of Fiber One bars at the Dollar Tree for 50
cents each using coupons. I was so happy to be getting these
at a bargain price. I did not know these things caused terrible
gas as I had never purchased them before. The manufacturer
should be required to put a GAS warning label on these
packages. It took me about 3 days to figure out the Fiber One
bars were causing the gas. I am going to try and take the
remaining boxes to Walmart in exchange for a gift card. Next
buyer BEWARE!!!!!

Oh man I thought I was the only one! I recently got over a bout
of gastritis, so I originally didn't think Fiber One would be the
root cause of my gas. Its not even just farts! For the first
couple hours after eating one, I'm belching nonstop, then a few
more hours into it I'm farting and belching constantly! My poor
boyfriend asked if I was going to explode, simply because I
couldn't even finish a sentence I was burping and farting so
much! What's worse is trying to sleep at night because the gas
doesn't move! It just sits there are causes sharp jabbing pains
all over my abdomen! I just ate another bar before I read this
article.... wish me luck. P.S. I doubt its the fiber, I eat tons of
oatmeal and whole wheat etc all day, I'm actually curious if its
the chocolate or chicory root extract.

I thought it was all fun and games. I read this and laughed until
tears were pouring down my face. My boyfriend bought a box
of the peanut butter chip bars, and we thought we'd have a
good laugh. We each ate a bar and waited for the hilarity to
ensue. NOTHING happened to him. To me, however, I nearly
died. I got horrible pains in my body that I've never felt. Much

to my disappointment, I got NO funny gas. What I did get was

7 hours of the fastest moving and most painful diarrhea I've
ever had in my life. I had blood coming out of my body by the
time it was done. I had to send my boyfriend to the drugstore
at 1am to get immodium, because I was sure I'd die in the
night if I went to bed. I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER eat these
EVER again. When I read through these stories and read that
some people ate a FEW bars, or God forbid, and entire BOX at
once, I shudder. PEOPLE ARE INSANE. If you have never eaten
them, please Lord, don't do it. TRUST ME. This was four days
ago and my body is still not right. I think my a-hole fell off.

I brought Fiber One 90 Calorie Chocolate Fudge Brownies for
the first time, yesterday. They were small bars and taste good.
I ate quite a few of them - about an hour of eating them for the
first time, I got really bad gas along with loud farts - which I
have never had before. Day two of eating quite a few of the
fiber bars again, I notice the same thing has happing again
(the loud farts with gas). I googled the Fiber One Bars to see if
that could be the possible cause, and found out that they were
causing my gas/fart problem. I have another box left - I won't
be eating any more of the Fiber One Bars. NO THANKS!

Oh. My. God. It's some small comfort to know that I'm not the
only one who had a wretched experienced with Fiber One bars.
I ate one this morning with a carton of plain yogurt and plenty
of water -- around 16 ounces. This did absolutely no good. The
last time I had gas pains this bad, I was coming down with food
poisoning. I had to have spent an hour in the bathroom at work
today due to the explosive gas and diarrhea. Not to mention
the incessant burping and vague sense of nausea. I literally felt
so ill, I couldn't eat anything for lunch. Ugh. This isn't food,
people, this is a laxative, and a powerful one at that. Never
again. These are going straight into the trash!

friend had nothing to eat so I gave her my fiber one bar
because she l oves them. So we were on the bus two hours
later and she farts( she was sitting next to me). It was quiet at
first and did not stink but it got worse and worse. I was
laughing my head off and my friends was sitting there so

P.S. I went to the seat two rows behind and to the right, so I

these fiber one bars for the first time and after just 2 bars in
one day, wowee....I have never, EVER in my life ..EVER...blew
farts as STINKY, LONG and LOUD as the ones I blew after eating
these bars. My poor kitty cat....after I get into bed and have my
fluffy comforter on me, she loves to lay in a little ball between
my legs. Poor, poor cat...The fumes came right through the
thick layers of the blanket. I sware I tried to hold them in but as
others have disclosed in this article....NO SQUEEZING of the
butt cheeks could hold these powerful suckers in there. I tried
to hold them in at work and my stomach rumbled from the
inside sooooo loud!!!!!!!!! I think the fart exploded inside me!
WOW. The human body is an amazing thing. Wish I had these

you will fart all night long. don't eat the fiber one bar, it's not
worth it. you will fart all night long, all day long, at home, at
work, every area of your life will become one huge fog-horn
fart. you will lose your boyfriend, your lover, your husband,
your dog, even your children and grandchildren. General Mills
needs to be sued - hey, let's get a lawyer and make it class
action 'fart' suit against General Mills. We would win, Fiber One
has something in its ingredients that causes stomach problems
and pains and gas. They need to be sued, deserve to be sued,
should be sued.

I have had problems with malitol & artificial sugars ending with

these ingredients. Like all the other blogs, I had severe
cramping and not so pleasant gas pains. I remember the same
gas pains after child birth. I spent hours researching Fiber One
bars ingredients and never thought Chicory Root would be the
source. I wouldn't give these bars to my worst enemy. They are
going into the trash. Shame, shame and more shame to
General Mills. Yes we all need our fiber but this will never be
my way again.

jump out of bed and was looking out the window, I asked what
he was looking for and he said "I thought I heard a Machine
Gun going off". Than he came back to bed and said Oh my God

I cannot believe the number of responses to the " Fiber Fart"
article. It surely is an epidemic!!! I too have been infected with
incredible outbursts of gas. So much so that my BFF has had to
hold onto the very large picture hanging over our bed to keep
it from crushing us as we watch TV. Fortunately for him, the
dog and me, mine don't smell!!!! What they lack in odor they
make-up for in frequency and decibal. This makes for a very
interesting day, I work as a Barber during the day and a
waitress at night. Try standing next to a customer and leaning
close to them to trim their bangs and HOLY SHIT hear it
comes!!!! No one to blame either! It's just me and the
customer!!! Then, there's nothing like a waitress taking your
order and she quickly walks away, rather tight legged, while
your in mid sentence,,,,were'd she go....TO FART in the noisiest
place she can find in hopes of drowning out the sound,,,,the
kitchen!!! Bone apetit!!!!

All I can say is at least now I know the source of the constant
aroma I've been producing the last 4 days. Bought a box of
Fiber One Caramel on Tues to help tide me over at work
between lunch and dinner. Tonight is Friday. My husband has
not slept in our bed since Tues night when he watched a late
night movie while I slept, and walked into a room so foul he
honestly thought an animal had died outside our window. Not

having any idea what was causing it, I ate a bar a day and it
has only gotten worse.
All joking aside, the bloating is unbearable. I'm in training,
working out 2 hours a day and I gained 4 lbs between Tues and
Thurs! It's also widely uncomfortable as I am NOT experiencing
the benefits of "regularity" so to speak. I will never eat these
again and I just hope by this time tomorrow it will all be over.
Like many have said, I have never, EVER experienced gas like
this in my life. My husband will be on the couch again tonight, I
just wish I could escape this with him...

I love these bars so fricking much. I just can't sop eating them particularly the lemon cake ones. I didn't used to be a pootsie
person but now I fart so much that my boyfriend said if I were
a superhero, I'd be Flatula (flat-CHOO-la, much funnier). My
super power, which I already possess, is to 'expel' Gotham's

This is hands down the most hilarious comment section of any
site I've ever read. I have been eating the caramel nut Fiber

One bars for a few weeks now. I thought the gas was from an
increase in fruits and veggies. I was at work today and had a
bar this morning. I spent the rest if the day clenching my
checks together and roaming about the building visiting
bathrooms on different floors just to fart. The deceiving part of
it is the farts weren't so bad in the beginning, they would show
up, not smell, and be gone shortly after. Now there's no
mistaking it, they last all damned day, smell like dead skunks
on a river bank, and follow up with chunky blasts if what looks
like baby shut but smells like prison potties. I swear the smell
magnifies onto your clothing for maximum embarrassment.

comments section of this blog. Its hilarious because its true.
My mom bought a supersized box of these at Sams Club. They
are yummy, so myself and my husband gobbled them up.
Mistake, mistake, error.
I had so much gas that I couldn't really run my errands or do
much of anything because the gas was so violent, I thought it

would lead to sharting (which, I see it in fact, did for many of

you). Fast forward to today: Late night munchies, I gobbled up
2 very quickly. You guessed it, gas bad enough to blow out your
lower back. I mean the rumbles of these farts are enough to
crack a pelvis.
I farted so loud, I woke the baby! An actual fart. woke. the.
baby. So I then specifically googled "Fiber One Bars Gas" and
saw many, many articles, and blogs but this one is by far the
funniest. You know its bad when The Google search auto-filled
in to "Fiber One Bars Gas" after only typing "Fiber+One". I
mean, these posts go back years!! C'mon General Mills, this

Okay. I had no idea that this was of epidemic proportions. I
got hooked on fiber one bars (lemon), about a month ago. Took
them to work for breakfast every morning. I teach nutrition to
families with infants and toddlers, and my office is small. I
couldn't even clean my toys w/o farting 6 times. I had to spray
concentrated room spray every time I turned around for fear
that a coworker would come chat, and trust me...I couldn't
have lied and said the smell was from a dirty diaper...more like
a dead body in my closet. I also farted so much that I had to
scoot things around to make squeeky noises so they would
think they didn't hear a fart. And the worst part is that I hurt so
bad, that I thought I has a tumor or bleeding ulcer or
something. Was about to call a GI doctor. 3 days w/o them, and
I'm fine! Whewww!

My first encounter with Satans snack bar was about a year
ago. I bought a box at BJs with my mother. They looked

absolutely delicious. I took one of the boxes to work with me

Not well versed in the aftermath with Fiber One I had not one
but two since it was so delicious. Nothing could prepare me for
the ass ripping and roaring time I was about to have. AND
NOTHING would prepare me for all of the prayers I was about
to eat while bent over in pain. Hades himself seemed to have
pranked me. Not only did I feel the death of my asshole
drawing near I was practically semi-dragging myself on the
damn floor. Worse part? I was at work. I had to smile at my
supervisor talking to me about work while demons of a fiber
bar ripped out my insides and came out my ass. Try keeping a
normal face while semi doubled over with a fake smile
plastered on to avoid any questions. The bathroom is shared at
work so guess what? Now I had to have sitting wars with other
ladies that came to take a shit and didnt want to because I
was there and vice versa. I dont know what was harder, the
sitting shitting wars (fighting other women to take a shit in
peace and let the farts rip freely) or training my ass to go
special agent: silent and deadly. I clenched my ass checks so
hard and slowly trained the farts to come out silently which
was about as hard as two monkeys not flinging shit at each
other. My ass cheeks were so taut and tired when I got home it
seemed like I did butt did squats for days on end and I grew a
bigger ass but my ass hole hated me. This brings me to today.
As I sit here typing this Im fighting the Fiber One Farts of HELL.
I ended up buying the cereal to add more fiber (Ive been
taking Iron to raise my blood count and with Iron comes
constipation) I THOUGHT I was playing it smart and that I
learned my lesson. I ONLY had the serving size recommended
and since it was the cereal I figured I wouldnt encounter it as
much. That was this morning its an hour before I go home
and Im fighting severe cramping and silent farts that whisper
in my panties (because now Im highly trained) and CANT
believe Im dealing with symptoms again! I could take a box of
laxatives and not have Hiroshima recreating itself out of my
ass! What is in these damn FIBER ONES?! So good it hurts! The
worse of it is the shits they are spaced out with air pockets. I
shit a little pellet out like a rabbit and the next I know Im
blowing wind like the tropics, and then rocket propel another
pellet into the bowl of water. Seriously, WTF???? I googled the

side effects because honestly if this doesnt feel like death

through the rectum I dont know what does and Im sorta glad
Im not alone! I have to say Im laughing at everyone elses
stories so I figured why not share mine. The laughter of typing
this is like therapy but every once in a while I have to stop and
concentrate on farting SUPER SUPER ANNOYING lololol Hope
you get a kick out of this anyway. If anything Ive learned its
this: my rectum is a highly trained weapon and is stronger than
ever thanks to Fiber One training HOWEVER death is most
certainly imminent Im afraid in one of these farts Ill shit my
insides out and then what? Never again Im giving up that
shit inducing brand.

Your fellow sister in the shits.

I call these things "Fart Bars" for reasons I am sure everyone

I am so bloated and gassy that I am afraid to go anywhere. I
had no idea how much wind could be trapped in your
intestines... and the smell is horrid. My poor husband has to
deal with the stench constantly. If I am not in the mood for

KASHI GOLEAN CRUNCH

(NOTICE: IN EACH POST NAME OF WRITER IS
AFTER POST)
1 cup Kashi GoLEAN Crunch + 1/2 cup milk = Endless stomach
churning gas.
Ounce for ounce, there is no other substance on the face of the
Earth that will more consistently produce as many hours of
unabated flatulence than Kashi GoLEAN Crunch.
If you have never had a bowl of Kashi GoLEAN cereal, trust
me, go get a box. Eat a big bowl right before work or church or
parent-teacher conferences.
It starts for me about 2 - 3 hours after ingestion. I can almost
set my watch by it.
The first sign that Kashi is working is a knot-like feeling in the
stomach. Kind of like a slip knot. A sharp knot that all the
sudden lets go. This is followed 25-30 seconds later by a
surprising fart with an unusual amount of mass.
For the next 5 hours, the gas gets so unusually intense and
frequent you will barely be able to keep a straight face while
doing regular daily activities.
I have been kicked out of supermarkets, gas stations, bars,
restaurants, and outdoor soccer games because of my
relationship with Kashi.
The only way I could love Kashi GoLEAN crunch more than I
already do, is if it tasted edible like most foods do.
But alas; I would toss Al Sharpton's salad if I was guaranteed a
5 hour endless stream of explosive gas.

-----Update 8-14-08-----

I am obviously not alone.

Let's start posting actual recordings of your actual farts here
on this thread! Please record your greatest Kashi farts via any
means necessary! (Recorder, cell phone, computer mic, etc). I
will post them here! It will be a GAS! Please convert your fart
sounds into any readable computer format (.wav, .mp3, etc)
and email them here.
I will "pass" the credit onto the "end" user. Don't be lazy!
Record your Kashi farts!!!

I need help, i was working out at the gym, and i had to hold it
in for so long that just as I finished my workout (BLAMMO
WHFfffffTTTTTTT PLAH) The whole gym was silent and
everyone was staring at me, but thats not the worst. During
church at the prayer, I had held it in the whole car ride,
service, and had not farted once that day. as soon as the
pastor was about to say "Amen" (WWHHHFFFT PBPBPBPFHTR
BLAM!) my kids couldnt stop laughing until the end of the
service

together and realized it ws the cereal Which I will NEVER eat
again after this bout of the worst gas I have ever experienced
I'm not kidding if you want your stomach to go into fart over
load then go get this lol

ahhahahah thank god, I thought there was something wrong
with me!! There is NOTHING like kashi farts in the entire world!
my mom literally contained me in one room for an entire day
so i wouldn't subject the family to my gas.....it is pretty
humorous how loud it is...how is this stuff still being sold? It
tastes good though

no joke - worst gas and stomach pains ever. i couldn't figure

out what i was eating that was making me like this! thank

and have tossed that box right in the garbage!

As a joke I thought I would google Kashi/Gas because my wife
and I have been blowing them big time. We had a ton of laughs
reading your threads. My wife wants me to make sure I put out
there that hers was noisy but no odor. Yea, right.

I have a friend coming into town this week so I thought I better
forewarn her of the terrible condition I contracted. I explained
that I have excessive flatulence, and I mean really excessive to
put it nicely! So bad your not going to believe it! I've been on a
real health kick lately, but I told her I havn't been able to do
much because it's so embarressing to find new places to fart
where it won't impose on other people! I was completely
serious, yet she started laughing and then asked. "Are you
eating Kashi cereal" I was surprised by her question to my
farting dilemna but then she sent me this! Thank GOD for good
friends!

Well! If you'll ALL pardon the pun. I'm feeling GREATLY
RELIEVED after searching for Kashi and Gas and finding this
page! And adding MY fair share of methane to the atmosphere!
I'm writing through copious tears of gut busting laughter and
sympathy! OMFG it's hilarious and tragic all at once!
Because it IS a delicious [and allegedly very healthy] product!
FYI: It isn't just the Go Lean CRUNCH!
IT'S ALSO THE HI FIBER GO LEAN OATMEAL TOO! I know from
direct and personal experimentation! LOLOL
Does KASHI know about this? Has anyone here tried
contacting them about this??? I'm wondering because the first

place I went was to their website to see if there was anyway to

talk about this very weird "by-product" that apparently is VERY
widespread!
I did find ONE article from a Kashi site that says "flatulence
can be a result of eating too much fiber in one sitting or
suddenly increasing fiber content rather than gradually
increasing fiber content to the recommended 25-32 gms daily."
Hmmmm! Well all I can say is if that's the case then you would
think that after months of eating this cereal and not increasing
fiber in any other way - shouldnt it go AWAY? SOMEDAY?
Again- from personal experience- it doesnt EVER go away!
I suspect a secret weaponized fiber substance was slipped into
our Kashi folks!
OMG I am happy and sad too that my favorite HEALTHY food
has such a universally "explosive" impact ! At least I am not
blowing in the wind alone!

I hate that I just had to throw a box of this away, because it is
DELICIOUS. But it's deliciousness just made me eat more and
more and god help anyone in a 1 mile radius of me. It was so
embarrassing. I had to cancel a job interview because I knew I
couldn't trust myself for 1 hour to keep it in. STINKERS! Jesus. I
had suspected it was the cereal for a while and just didn't want
to believe it. But now I have my proof. In the form of other
fellow Kashi lovers and farters.

After wiping off my computer screen from spraying my tea all

over it in a violent outburst of hilarity over these comments, I
just have to say THANK GOD I am not alone. I bought Kashi Go
Lean about a month ago and ever since the hills have been
alive with the sound of my music. Going to the gym has been a
real treat, especially because I've had to fear blowing a hole
through the guy behind me on the treadmill. Unfortunately, I
got my mom hooked on the cereal too and since we run a
family business, things have been real interesting around here.
Seeing us chowing down on this cereal every day, my da just
had to give it a try and in no time flat, the three of us were
hard at work trying to blow the roof off. We even grossed the
dog out. He was the first one to quit, saying he thought it was
the Kashi. Not one to want to give up my big morning bowl of
deliciousness, I decided to prove him wrong. Well after
googling "Kashi Go Lean" and "gas" I must concede defeat. At
least now I know it's not some horrific stomach virus or alien
implantation (with the pain and loud gurgling, I was leaning
toward the latter). I must go now, this morning's bowl (the last
of its kind) is beginning to say HELLO!

My sister told me she had Kashi for breakfast today and I said I
used to love that but I couldn't stop farting! She said I'M SO
GLAD YOU TOLD ME THAT, I THOUGHT IT WAS WHAT I ATE FOR
LUNCH! So we decided to do research on the web and found
your helpful website! Luckily, by the time it kicks in I am
driving home from work and no one else has to be offended! It
is so most hilarious! They are record breaking farts!

My husband and I are still rolling on the floor. I took a long walk
today and almost had to break into someone's house because
along w/ the insanely potent and frequent (beyond annoying)
farts, I ahem...had to ...ahem...run to the closest public
restroom where I quickly evacuated the contents of my
bowels....
My DH and I were afraid we were both going to need to see the
doctor. The explosive nature and unbelievable stomach
distress is, well...unfreaking believable.
I think there should be a warning label. WE bought ours at
Costco...the big commitment box...but oh my GOD it tastes so
good...
#29 Carla on 2008-08-11 20:56 (Reply)
I am not the only one!!! I bought Kashi two days ago and have
had "problems" ever since. I used all of my hand sanitizer up
today trying to mask the smell at work, but I'm sure it didn't
help. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me, so I made
my boyfriend try Kashi this afternoon to test it out. I'm typing
this about six hours later and he is still making bathroom runs.
Needless to say, the smell is HORRIFIC! I think this site should
be sent to Kashi as a petition!

hahahahah thank god I stumbled across this page. I'm a
college student, and last year i was living in a tiny box of a
dorm room with my roommate. I tried Kashi GoLean Crunch,
thinking it would be a healthy choice instead of the nasty
cafeteria pastries. well well well. it was seriously a full-on
workout for my ass muscles trying to hold these suckers in. my
poor roommate. go ahead, try farting quietly in a girls
community bathroom after a bowl of this stuff. see what
happens.

So I am a female and i've had this terrible gas for weeks now. I
had no idea what was causing it and have never had gas this
bad in my life. I am a hairstylist and would have to hold it in all

day until I could get alone and let it all out. And it would
literally last for like a minute! And like the others said, it's very
very painful to hold in and makes your stomach swell like
you're pregnant. My husband has joked about divorcing me! At
first I thought it was the Monster energy drinks but I stopped
those and the gas stayed. Today I seriously started thinking
that me c-section I had a few months ago had somehow
damaged my intestines or maybe I have cancer! Then I
remembered that the only food that is new in my life and
consistent everyday is Kashi Go Lean Crunch! So I googled
Kashi and Gas and here I am! Thank you to whoever started
this blog because you have saved my marriage. And yes I will
be throwing out the kashi. Maybe Special K from now on?

afternoon. I feel sorry for the poor bastards on the
subway....especially if they are sitting, and i am standing....

It's not just the Go Lean crunch..my husband and I ate 2 of the
Kashi chocolate chip cookies each, and about 2 hours later, we
were both crippled with the worst gas we've ever had in our
lives. His was so bad, he had to leave a play we were watching
to go stand at the back because he could not control them and
ha to keep running to the bathroom. I sat there and suffered in
silence, constantly squeezing to make sure nothing escaped.
At one point, I nearly had a panic attack because I had to bust
ass so bad, but I was stuck in the middle of the row. Sweet,
sweet relief was finally mine during intermission, but I had to
flush the toilet 3 times so no one would hear! We'll never eat
these again!

afternoon snack and GOOD GOD have my evenings been

explosive indeed. I seriously was panicing....It honnestly feels

Been there, done that! I love the taste of Kashi GoLean Crunch
and how much protein it's got to keep ya full. I accidentally left
my cereal sitting for too long and ate semi-soggy GoLean
Crunch. But, the pregnant belly, gas pains, and explosive farts
were gone! Just let the rock hard cereal sit for 10 mins (yes, it
takes that long to soften up) and say goodbye to the gassy
days.

well this started when my poor child had a bowl of this cereal
a few days ago and was gassing my husband and I out of every
room in the house...poor thing lol
She said that whole day at school she was blaming the smell
on other people hahahhaa .....and I thought it must have been
something she ate but I couldn't narrow it down because she
hadn't eaten anything out of the norm or anything "I thought"
would cause this....THEN last night for my late night snack I
thought I'd try a bowl of this cereal since it was supposed to be
so good for you and all......I woke up this morning feeling my
daughter's pain, literally!!!
It only took me a minute to figure out what the culprit
probably was....thank you very much for verifying my
suspicions!! The cereal is now in the garbage where it
belongs....

I too, have had the embarrassing experience of what is known
around this home as the "Kashi" farts. NOTHING compares to
the farts you get when you eat this cereal. If I eat something

like brocolli, I have gas, but I can usually hide the fact. When I
eat this cereal, it's like a WHOLE different experience. It
doesn't do to much until I eat something else a few hours later.
Almost immediately after cosuming a later meal, it starts up! If
I retire to bed early and my husband comes to bed later, he
can't even hardly open the door without it all hitting him in the
face full force! My daughter can smell it oozing from
underneath the door and down the hallway. It's very
embarrassing for her when she has her boyfriend over to
watch a movie. I really like this cereal and try to enjoy it when I
know I will be home alone. It never fails though that someone
will pop over when that "Kashi" farts are in effect!

Well well well: lookie here! Who would've/could've thought

that poor little Kashi Go Lean Crunch would cause such a riot?
For the last 2 days I've been thinking, "Dammit. Now that I'm
57, suddenly I'm starting to just fart uncontrollably ... like an
old farting lady. Ick. Yuck. So disgusting and embarrassing!"
Since the only other thing I ate today was a ground meat
burrito (lean, tasty, homemade), I thought I'd TRY looking up
gas and kashi. I'm so surprised and very relieved.

This is the ironic part though: While reading my email before

deciding to google kashi, I finished up a nice big bowl of...
Kashi Go Lean Crunch. OH NO!!!

My dad googled this after we both had HORRIBLE GAS!!!!!
I was in my class trying my very best to hold it all in when

BOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!
I let one out so bad that our teacher said and I quote,
"Go to Mrs. M's room and get some air freshner."

As soon as I got up everyone went "EWWWW!!!!"

I was laughing sooo loud until I got to 6th period with the
unbearable stomach pain.
Thank goodness I was in a hurry this morning and only ate half
a bowl!

NEVER EAT Kashi Go and Lean the Other Way!

Thanks Heavens!!! I have been eating Kashi cereal for just a
couple of weeks, and the last few days the Crunch. It's unreal
what has happened and I have a professional position at a
school. I try to restrain but must almost run from rooms to
avoid the gas escaping like a machine gun and more and more
often like a giant air gun bomb. My husband has started eating
the Kashi Go Lean this past week and he asked today about
the uncontrollable gas. Hallelujah for the answer!!!

Ok try reading this and not wake up the baby sleeping in the

I just had to give my costco box away. It's just too much, I
mean I love the taste and it's not just the go lean cereal, it's
the granola bars too.
Just this morning (and this is in verbatum) this is what my
husband said just before he had to leave the room: Snif,
snif,...what the....did u just....O dear Lord....And you send ME
downstairs when I have to go to the bathroom.
I don't get any bloating, but the smell of the silent but deadly
farts is just too much!

I started Weight Watchers in January and thought the farts
were the change in my eating habits. I finally realized it was

the Kashi go fart. I had it yesterday for breakfast and went to

the gym. By pure luck the symphony didn't begin until after I
was finished and in the car. My son just shakes his head and
walks away when the farting begins. I don't have the pain just
the gas. I will keep eating it because it's so good.

OMG!!! I just bought my first box of Kashi GoLEAN last week,
and I swear to the little baby jesus that I have had the most
intense poots in my life each day I've had it! I also eat mine
with slices of banana, and I think the two of them together do
double work. I really do love the stuff, but I'm afraid I can no
longer eat it due to the intense gas. I work in an office cube,
and today I had to go into the bathroom/hallway/foyer several
times to let out the gas. OH MY!!!

OMG, I nearly gave myself a heart attack I was laughing so
hard. My husband likes to make treats with this stuff and he
would always get so mad at me for waking him up at night with
the hellacious toots. I have a boxer dog, which are famous for
deadly gas, and she would sleep in the kitchen after I ate this
stuff. The cats would hide in the catpan, and no amount of
Rolaids would help. Thank you for helping me figure this out. I
am never buying this stuff again. But I still like the granola
cereal, the chocolate one is really good. I'll have to see if they
cause the gassiness too since I already have IBS and was
eating Kashi to help regulate my system.
the only benefit I can see is that I can seriously gross out my
teenage boys. MOM WINS!!!!!!

For two weeks my husband and I have been sleeping in
separate beds because I haven't been able to control my
flatulence. All our conversations have started with him saying
things like: "can't you just hold it in", "wow I never imagined I'd

marry someone with gas like this", "GEEZ was that you?!?!?";
and me replying "better out than in", "I've never had gas like
this", and "no, it was my butt and I'm asking it for a divorce!".
This morning while eating my standard bowl of Kashi Go Lean
Crunch(GLC) I had a sudden epiphany that the gas started
around the same time that I bought this god forsaken sh*t!!!! I
did a google search for Kashi GLC + gas and low and behold
I've found all of you. I feel like I've finally come home after a
long period of social exile to be with my fellow Kashi GLC
farting friends. Thank you all for helping me to realize that I'm
not alone in the world!

So, Are any of you folks familiar with the diet aid called Alli?
The active ingredient in Alli is a substance that works by
blocking the absorption of excess fats by the body. In essence,
most of the fat you consume (and it had better not be very
much) will fly straight through your digestive tract and out
your posterior. Eat a salad with a heavy cream dressing and a
couple of slices of pizza and you get a greasy oil slick along
with your usual bowel movement. Eat a Big Mac and large fries
however, and look out! An uncontrollable high velocity spray of
smelly red-orange grease will come shooting out of your butt
with absolutely no warning. This horrifying occurence is
euphamistically referred to in the Alli literature as a "treatment
effect".

In case you can't figure out where I'm going with this, I
recently combined Alli, Kashi GoLean Crunch and a Culver's
Deluxe fried cod & chips basket. The result was a treatment
effect to the power of 10. I'm afraid I have to move to a new
town.

I think I would have been better off combining Zanax, Ambien,

Zoloft & Prozac.

This site is amazing and so are the stories. Trying to eat
healthy, I started eating more soy products a few weeks ago.
Kashi cereals, Kashi Pilaf, soy milk, soy burgers, Ezekial bread
(sprouted grains), and tofu. Oh, my goodness!!!!! Lots and lots
of pain and gas! I realized that something was really wrong
with what I had been eating, so I started eliminating each
offending food and I started feeling better. However, tonight I
thought I would eat the Kashi Pilaf and even though it wasn't
as bad as the Kashi Go Lean Crunch, I am definitely
experiencing more gas than I normally do.
Goodbye, Kashi! It will be hard to find something that tastes
as good.

I love Kashi food but this stuff makes me blast farts that scare
the pets away. In fact my GF and I like to eat this stuff just so
we can have competitions to see who's farts are the worst. Girl
farts are always at least 27 times worse than anything a guy
can come up with. I can give her the Dutch Oven but she can
blast one under the covers that will seep out and make me beg
for mercy!

Whats worse is that Al Gore has come after us for contributing

so much to Global Warming. I might have to sue Kashi for
making me create so much air pollution.

I've always been a prim and proper lady. I absolutely would die
if my husband heard me rip one. The only time he ever heard
me fart in our 7 years of marriage was in the middle of the
night while I was sleeping. I told him that didn't count. He was
so shocked in hearing me fart for the first time, that he actually
documented it on his computer at work. After eating this
delicious Kashi, I do really fear I won't be able to hold the gas

in. If it can't find it's way out, then it makes loud bubbling
stomach noises and pounds against my stomach. I really like
Kashi, but I don't know how long I can contain the farts.

Wow! It's not just me! I started eating KGLC about 3 weeks ago
& knew it had to be the cereal making me fart like never
before. It gives me such LOUD stomach growls..freaks my dog
out. The worst is in the mornings. Sometimes I'll crave
something sweet at night & have a bowl of Kashi. The next
morning I will walk all over the house just blowing gas with
every step!!! Like it's been sitting in my guts all night just
waiting for an escape. My poor kids. They're little & my butt is
just about at their eye level. I've noticed them gagging a little
in the mornings when I have my terrible gas. One of them even
told me I always smell like a toot all day long. Isn't it crazy how
powerful Kashi farts are? Maybe I should give this stuff up...it's
just so good & healthy.

I farted LOUDLY five times reading this. I just got home from
getting a mani/pedi and it got so painful I had to tell the guy it
was hot, and he turned the air wayyyy down. It was so hot
because I have been holding the Kashi farts in! Can you
imagine farting in the peducurist's face??? I got home and after
a minute long fart I had to google 'Kashi Go-Lean Gas' and
voila!
Also, for some reason it makes my constipated rabbit poopies
come out like they are little rockets lauched! I swear..I just
went in for a tinkle, and I accidentally launch an attack on the
septic system at work! I was even afraid that they would hear
through the thick wall on the other side!

Wow, I was looking for a way to stop the gas I seemed to be
getting from cereal in general and I am so glad I found this
page! I thought I was becoming a serious old fart. I ate a large
bowl of Kashi Go Lean Crunch at the office and by lunchtime I
was hoping no one was going to get on the elevator with me. It
was incredibly embarrassing. I read this, and what I did was
just limit my morning bowl of Kashi to what I would usually
consider a half bowl. Then the gas is minimal. And the cereal is
really good.

I flew to denver to meet my girlfriends family for two days.
Each day I had the great tasting GoLEAN Crunch. Followed by a
day of the longest session of gas ever. My stomach was in a
knot the whole time. I thought it was nervous. I had to hold it
in the whole time I was at each family function (she's greek).
To make matters worse when I thought I would get a brake in
the car I was quickly disappointed by a family member jumping
in our car forcing me to hold it for another opportunity. Good

I am cracking up! That cereal KILLS me...not for a day or 2, try
3-4 days!!!!!!!! I work as a model--a fit model who tries on
clothes and has to have the same body measurements every
day!! Can you imagine my PAIN holding that bubble in praying
I don't let one rip???? You cannot even get away with a silent
one, because it will be beyond deadly!!!!! It will kill EVERYONE
with a 20 foot radius!!!!!! This is not the only cereal that kills
me, but it's certainly the worst...
is there something you can take when you eat these types of
foods that will help??? I try to drink lots of water...help!!

I just sent Kashi an email about all this madness! They must
know they have this effect on people, right?? I honestly
thought there was something wrong with ME! Now I know its
the cereal, its horrible, but I have to throw it away. I can't
function at work or school while eating this stuff! Not to
mention the complete embaressment while I'm with my
boyfriend... :-/

Wow, this is hilarious! I thought I was having major problems
but I didn't think it was affecting everyone this way. I have to
warn my boyfriend before we have sex that there might be an
"escapee" during the act. I'm glad I'm not alone! But I can't
stop eating it so I live knee deep in the "stenches"!

I'm happy I found this. I thought I had some kind of condition

or something. I had to hide somewhere far away from the
others when I took my kids to a water park so I could fart my
brains out. Sometimes I would get really bad cramps and
thought I was in labor. This cereal should be pulled from the
shelves and used to produce a new mass destruction weapon.

Thanks everyone for posting because without people like you,
some of us would think we developed some kind of really bad
digestive issues like IBS. I started eating Kashi cereal bars
thinking they would be good for me once a day, but the entire
month, my stomach was upset, major stomach pains and
gas/bloating as well. It was the worst I have experienced! I
thought I have developed IBS and limited everything I was
eating to just protein and non-gaseous vegetables. I was
scared to go out and I was scared to go on vacation and even
bought a portable toilet for a road trip because I was so unsure
of my body. I started going to the GI specialist and now that I
am reading this, I think my GI is right that it's the Kashi bars
that are causing this. She said if I stop it for 7-14 days then it
should totally get out of my system. I think the cereal and bars
should come with warning that some people are really affected
while others like my husband are not.
#176 Portable Toilet on 2010-08-21 21:09 (Reply)
As of fan of several Kashi products i've gotten away with
minimal bloating and gas...until I met the crunchy TLC bars.
Great for hikes and skiing or any activitiy OUTSIDE where
passing gas is no big deal. I started to bring them to work and
OH MY. Being less active and around others is not a good idea
~ these bars are potent fiber! I tried cutting back to just one
bar and adding that to yogurt. Please believe me when I tell
you ~ eater beware! TLC is a tough lil' crunch that fills every
inch of space in your body with air and gas. I thought I was
going to explode. Great product and company, but do not mix
with indoor activity!

this out) that last night I had gas soooo bad in the bed that
when I woke up this morning to go pee and I QUEEFED
uncontrollably!! This is the gasiest stuff EVER!!!!!!! I cant wait
to tell my friends and family about Go Lean Crunch and then
direct them to this website a couple of days later. My boss who
NEVER farts cause shes always clogged is totally blowing
guts!!! Bitter Sweet for her!

Good Lord! Finally I have the answer as to why I feel like my
ass will never stop exploding with the most horrific smell I've
ever experienced in my entire life!! Plus my stomach has been
puffy almost every day for the past two weeks..at one point I
was convinced that I might be pregnant! Jesus! NO MORE
KASHI PRODUCTS FOR ME!! Not even their oatmeal. I love it
but it's not worth all the stomach cramping, bloating, and
HORRIFIC smelly gas!! Bye Bye Kashi!! =(
#191 BowlofSmellySunshine on 2010-10-21 10:16 (Reply)
I tried to save money, and purchased 11 boxes of the Go Lean
Kashi cereals when they were on sale. I was intrigued by the
variety of choices they offered. What a horrible mistake ! My
entire life I have never let out gas. Well,you can guess what
started to happen after eating the cereal for 2 days ( 1 cup of
dry cereal per day-for fiber and protein purposes ). My stomach
felt bloated, cramped all over, and of course the unexpected
gas all the time. I also thought about seeing a M.D. after this
continued for 2 weeks . I eliminated the carbonated beverages
from my diet, and then later left out the Kashi ( which
gradually worked). Last night I tried Kashi again and got a
horrible stomach ache during the night. Thank you for this
website. Now this certainly proves what we all have been
experiencing .

love this site ... just found it ..and am doing my best to keep
my incredible farting to myself here at work. Not easy. Like so
many of you, I look forward to my Kashi go lean cereal every
morning. But, after a VERY close call at the grocery store this
weekend, and ridiculous odors in my office this morning, I had
to google "kashi golean cereal and gas." Is there NO solution,
or does the best cereal around have to be fed to my chickens,
so I can be safe in public again?!
#196 julie on 2010-11-08 11:25 (Reply)
I finally got my answer! I have had the worst smelling gas
ever. I thought that the new Go Lean I bought (Crunch Honey
Almond Flax) cereal had to have maltitol in it, but it does not. I
cannot figure out what it can be that causes so much smelly
gas. I normally eat Go Lean (non-crunch of any kind) and get
no gas that explodes like this. I did try the plain Go Lean
Crunch and found that it just bloated my stomach so terribly
that it was hard to take deep breaths. But this Almond Crunch
goes way beyond bloating. These toots just linger in the air
forever. They seem to stay in the fabric of the car seat. I am
just glad that I got to the bottom of all of this...hehe!

The pain and gas and bloating and misery will all be over
tomorrow, yeah! Because I'm never, ever, ever touching Kashi

again! Today has been horrible. I thought I had become lactose

intolerant so had stopped eating cereal for over 6 months. Last
night I went to the grocery store and they had Organic Lactose
Free Milk. I thought, yeah, I can eat cereal again! I grabbed
some and then went cruising down the cereal aisle with my son
who grabbed the box of Kashi, and said "Here, mommy - isn't
this the cereal you used to love, you can eat it again!". OMG. I
had 2 bowls for dinner and one bowl for breakfast. I spent so
much time in the bathroom today my co-workers were starting
to get concerned. 11 hours after breakfast and I'm still doubled
over in pain. The Kashi cookies had done the same thing to me
when I tried them a couple of weeks ago, so I was able to make
the Kashi = horrible gas connection pretty quickly, and this site
really confirmed it! I'm never touching anything with chicory
root fiber in it again, ever.

It's so good to know I'm not alone. I've actually been keeping
my box of Go Lean Crunch for a few months now, thinking
there will be a "good" time to eat a bowl. Definitely not during
the week while at work. Or on weekends where I have to go out
in public. Or be with friends and family. I really should just
throw it away but it tastes so good...what a waste!
#215 Kathy on 2011-02-09 22:56 (Reply)
Holy Mother! I thought it was the fiber intake but I never got
use to it. Drinking gallons of water daily is the only way to help
prevent the gassing. I have a double serving in the morning
about 7AM, by 11 AM the bombardments begin until late
evening. My office coworkers have now gotten use to the noise
coming from my cube. No matter how carefully I try, I'm unable
to squeeze one by. Goodbye Kashi. I have about 10 double
boxes I bought on special at Costco. I will pass them on to my
parents and laugh about their misfortune.

I'm working on a Sunday in the office alone (thank

had been experiencing the gas from Kashi. I knew it was the
Kashi, after all, it's high fiber. I'll have to google Chicory Root
as well. Here's my experience:
a. my four year old won't stay in the same room as me
b. i've woken myself up farting....while on a sleepover at the
husband-to-be's house
c. I'm no longer sure whose farts stink worse, mine or the
dog's
d. I make my son walk beside me at the store so people think
it's him who is stinky, not me
e. my own mother grimaces at me
f. i tooted in my car, went to the grocery store, and when I got
back in the car it still smelled like the 'farshi'
Wow...that's it...no more for me1

Oh my God! I always knew that Kashi made me gassy, but
today was absolutely the straw that broke the camels back. I
have been farting ALL DAY! I an farting as I write this, and I'm
grossing myself out! They are the most rancid, vile, nauseous
farts EVER! I'm afraid I may have burned a hole through my
pants! But not only are they stinky, but they are also acidic. I
had a test today in Psychology class, and I was TERRIFIED that
I would have a blowout while in the test. I did get the urge
several times, but luckily I held it in long enough to finish the
test and high-tail it outta there. I'm so upset though, because
KASHI GOLEAN CRUNCH IS SOOOOO DELICIOUS! Bummer.

I bought two boxes of Kashi a couple day ago, and I ate a lot of
it. I started to fart so often and couldn't stop. When I tried to
cook dinner, my goodness, %~~~~ (my mom ran away hahha
It was so embarrassing). When I sat down and eat at a fast
food restaurant, boooom :(, I couldn't believe that I %~~~~ do
that in public. Fiber is good for the body but it's bad for
environment. Kashi violates the Clean Air Act b/c people who
consume it will create air pollution.

OK, I'm no stranger to gas. I've been married for 30 years to an
Olympic gold-medalist when it comes to gas. I have owned
windy dogs. I once drove a carload of 10-year-old boys for 2
hours to a birthday party, and the sole conversation topic was
farts, with demonstrations. I have a friend who farted so bad,

he ran from his garden tractor and left it running in the yard.
But nothing prepared me for Kashi Go Lean. I made the
mistake of eating it in the morning, with lentil soup for lunch,
and baked beans for dinner. Holy cow. Don't ever do that. My
husband says it should be called Kashi Go To Hell.
#245 Fart In A Windstorm on 2011-05-10 21:51 (Reply)
I bought a 4 pack of this cereal off of Amazon several months
ago. As I'm a young woman who is generally a little gassy
anyway, I didn't make the correlation between the cereal and
my horrendous gas. I only ate the cereal a few times a week,
and since my farts didn't arrive like clockwork...I just could not
figure out why I was so terribly windy lately. I just thought it
was part of aging...at 26?
Luckily, my boyfriend and I had been farting around each
other since before we started dating (we were best friends
first), so he wasn't alarmed by my tooting immediately.
However, as the months wore on he began commenting on the
volume, decibel-level, and toxicity of my farts. The high
volume, very loud farts are generally not stinky, just side
splitting hilarious. But, there were a few occasions where I
must have just eaten the right combination of Go Lean Crunch
and other foods to create SBDFs that were out of this world.
These were the kinds where you feel like you're just going to
have a wee little fart, so you go to let it out...only to feel a hot,
silent rush of air ffffffssssttttt!! out of you, before being
immediately hit with A Stench Like No Other (yes, in capital
letters).
Most notably,on the morning of the day that my
aforementioned boyfriend PROPOSED, I ate a huge bowl of this
so that I wouldn't be hungry during our little day trip. Then,
after he proposed that afternoon, I also had a chocolate truffle
pudding thing for dessert. We spent the night in a quiet
oceanside motel. OH MY GOD! So much for a romantic
evening! We were trying to enjoy the king-sized bed, but I kept
having to jump up, run to the outside door, peek to see if
anyone was walking by on the deck, and then stick my butt
outside to let 'er rip! Ungodly! I still feel bad about the guy who

walked by right after I darted back inside one of those times.

The smell was so bad I wasn't even amused anymore at that
point. I don't think my new fiance was either. But, even after all
that he still wants to marry me. If we can make it through an
evening of Kashi farts, we can make it through anything!

packing more punch than all the old guns put together in the

After several months, I finally figured it out! At work, I eat a
bowl of cereal with fruit every day. Never on the weekends. A
few months ago, I switched to Kashi GoLean Crunch Honey
Almond flax to try something different. It was different all right!
Tastes very good, but so not worth the pain, agony, and
embarrassment. I was totally puzzled by this new life change. I
googled blueberries, apples, bananas, and even soy milk -stuff I don't eat a lot of on the weekends. Then it dawned on
me. What about the new cereal? I'm so glad I found this blog

OMG! It's the chicory root fiber! I've had IBS my entire life and
now a slight version of diverticulitus. But one day I bought a
box of FIBER ONE bars on sale and holy moly! I had farts as
long as the Mississippi River. I couldn't believe it! I had gas up
to my chin. I kept running back and forth to the ladies room for
my M16 fart sessions. I normally throw unwanted food "over
the fence" at home for the wild critters but not with this stuff. I
threw them in the trash. I did not want to blow up some poor
unsuspecting animal. And then, the other day, I bought a box
of the Kashi chewy granola bars. No where, no where did they
indicate they were fiber bars. Well, after a second day of

misery, I checked the label. Shazam! It contained chicory root

fiber! I called the Kashi people and complained. They acted so
ignorant. I told them they need to indicate on the label that
they are "fiber" bars. I have no problems going to the
bathroom and would rather avoid farting at all costs. Who are
these people that need this crap to take a crap???? It aint me!

This webpage just made me laugh so hard I starting crying
trying to keep it together. And trying to keep in the amazingly
bad gas pains I'm having from eating Kashi this morning. I
went to a dietician just yesterday complaining of unbelievably
bad pains/bloating that happens every day at 11:30 (about 4
hours after I eat breakfast). She gave me all this advice about
logging what I eat and eliminating certain foods to try and
figure out what it is. Well, I found out what it is. KASHI!!! On
days I eat it, worst stomach/intestinal pains ever - literally, I
can't even walk right. Days I don't eat it, I'm perfectly fine.
Kashi cereal will no longer frequent my pantry. I'm just
dissappointed I didn't realize this earlier...I've been eating this
cereal for months!!

Happy Golden Farty Crunches, indeed! This is one of the
funniest things I've ever read, I cried a little bit. I'm not done
yet, I had to take a break half-way through. I'm so thankful for
this, I feel so validated! My experience has been exactly the
same as so many others. I don't remember it starting right
away, it took it's time with me. Being a woman, it is horrifying
when it all begins and you have no idea why it's so
unbelievably bad. It's done a number on my "marital relations"
and my daughter thinks that what her mom is best at, is
farting, hands down. She actually told me so. How sad.
I have loved it for years and find myself craving it sometimes
because I'm sure they put something in it that is highly
addictive. It's not just a bowl of crunchy, sweet deliciousness. It
is a diabolical cereal that sneaks up on you and slowly,
painfully, ruins your life, without you even knowing. I was
considering buying multiple boxes on Amazon and found
someone's review about how much gas it caused and
thankfully investigated further to find this wonderful page full
of fellow sufferer's stories of shared torment at the hands of
KGLC. I also want to mention that this cereal also nearly broke
my teeth, on two separate occasions. This company really does
need to give a public apology and take it off the shelf, or at
least give a warning on the package, no?

I haven't read through all the comments yet, so i'm not sure if
someone addressed this, but it is the chicory root in the cereal
that causes the gas. Also, the granola bars cause the same
effect. Not as bad, mind you but still cause the gas.

because it is delicious!

I tried the Go Fart a year ago & knew right away I had to stop
before the hubby, kids & animals all locked me outside. The
gas & smell of it was horrific. I tried the berry go lean a week
ago, just got brave enough to try it again. I did fine, so I tried
the one with blueberries on it & BAM! Back to the way it was a
year ago. I have had the horrific smelling gas for 18 hours
straight. I fed the rest of the box to the goats. My daughter
said I should give it to the chickens but remembered the
stories of alka seltzer with sea gulls and worried the hens
might explode. No more Kashi allowed in my house.

It's not just the cereal, folks. Try the damn FROZEN DINNERS. I
often have to eat on the run and read in some health magazine
that Kashi frozen dinners were tasty. I have stomach issues as
it is, but I eat alot of veggies and brown rice and am no
stranger to farts and bloat.
But this was insane. A few bites and my stomach sounded like
fighting aligators in the sewer. I finished the dinner and went
upstairs to work and started swelling like I was harboring an
alien in my gut. Then the farts started...long, loud, hot, and eye
crossingly smelly. My husband, who is a world class farter,
came home and screeched from downstairs, Jesus WHAT is that
stench? Did the cat shit on the floor again?

Clearly Kashi theory is you will lose weight because you will
not be able to eat again..ever..because you have either passed
out from the lack of oxygen, or died from the disemboweling
gas pains.

oh my! i'm so glad i found this site. the posts made me die
with laughter.

i'm already prone to gas as it, but eating kashi cereal makes
me feel and sound like i've just swallowed firecrackers. it's so
bad i'd be dangerous around a lit flame. this is the best cereal
to eat if you want to drive someone out of your home without
resorting to drastic measures.

A couple years ago, I made the mistake of buying a box of
FiberOne bars to keep at my desk at work. They are known in
my family as "Fart Bars" now. Fast forward to just a couple days
ago when I was shopping with my husband at Sam's Club. I
saw a new, interesting, healthy-looking cereal and decided to
go ahead and get an industrial-sized box of it! After my first
bowl, I was experiencing industrial FiberOne-like side effects
and knew immediately that it was the Kashi. Thank God I'm a
stay-at-home mom now. Unlike my coworkers, my 5-year old
son thinks it's hilarious!

Oh my God 110 Octane Comholio, (Comment No. 141), I did
the same Kashi/Sushi breakfast/lunch combo and thought I was
going to die! But I am so stupid, I've been eating this stuff for

months (and lost ten pounds!) in an effort to get healthy, but

ended up thinking that I must have colon cancer. Then my
husband and kids started up too, so we concluded that it was
some terrible and strangely permanently ongoing stomach
virus.
You know it's bad when you actually wake yourself up in the
middle of the night due to your own explosive farting!
God I hate to give it up, the weight loss has been great, but I
guess I'll have to find some other low calorie sweet to take it's
place.

I had a very unpleasant encounter with Sashi cereal a couple of
months ago, while visiting relatives in Pennsylvania. When you
are a guest in someones home, you eat what they have
available. Sure enough there on the table sat a big box of Sashi
cereal with blueberries. The cereal smelled and tasted
delicious, but what a heavy price I had to pay. About an hour
after I consumed this cereal, I got the most horrible stomach
and intestinal cramping. Then came the explosive gas. I almost
did not make it to the toilet in time. The cramping and gas
were so intense, that I thought surely I might die. I told my
husband that he might have to take me to the ER. I sat on the
toilet most of the day. I could not leave the house due to the
suffering. The cramping and diarrhea lasted all through the
night as well. The next morning I felt some better, but I still
had very bad gas. I lost almost three pounds from eating one
bowl of cereal. I did not need to lose the weight, since I am a
small woman. I will never eat this brand of cereal ever again. I
concur that a "warning label" should be placed on the box.

To think I swore off my favorite restaurant because I thought it

was their food that was giving me the gas! I love Chipotle and
was very sad thinking I would never be able to eat there again.
I should have known because I've eaten there frequently and
get a little gassy but never like I did the last time. I've just
come to realize I had eaten Kashi Go Lean for breakfast that
day too. I had terrible gas for three days straight! I just finished
a very large box of Kashi today and have had candles burning
in every room and have carried around a box of matches all
day. I almost bought a 6-pack box from Amazon but read one
reviewer said something about GI problems. It just clicked this
morning and I'm so thankful to have made the connection
before I wasted all that money and the respect of my family.
My husband said the matches didn't even cover the smell of
my gas and that is bad! I finally told him when he got home
from work today, "I have bad news and good news. The bad
news is I have really bad gas again today but the good news is
I've found the culprit." Bad Kashi!!

I have had such bad flatulence this week that I've even refused

I've been buying Kashi cereal for the past year and KNEW
something was wrong with us. I eat a bowl every morning and
like clockwork, by 1pm I'm crop dusting the $%^ out of my
office. I'm 99% sure that my cover hasn't been blown...yet.

Unfortunately, my boyfriend sometimes eats this cereal around

9pm before bed. When he does, I wake up to fog horns and the
most ungodly smell. I guess this is pay back for what I do at
my office

Glad to find this page. I put it together a few weeks ago, that
when I ate the GoLean Crunch, I had incredible gas by the
afternoon. I hated to throw the box away, so I limited my
consumption to my days off only, so I didn`t have to deal with
the flatulence at work. So basically, I just got back from a trip
of crop dusting at the grocery store. Sorry to my fellow
shoppers who wandered into my cloud of farticles.

Well just purchased my first box yesterday (big box from
Costco) and had my first bowl this morning. I thought, delish, I
could eat this everyday. About noon it hit me. Omg....the gas
has been non stop. It's now 9:30 pm and I'm still going strong.
Finally my husband said "it's probably you new cereal". Broke
out the iPad and googled Kashi and gas. Found this site. We
have been laughing to tears at all these posts. Will be
returning the cereal tomorrow.
However, I think I will check back from time to time for a good
laugh. After all, I don't think there are too many funnier things
in life than a good strong loud bout of gas!

I found this thread when googling "kashi go lean crunch gas".
As soon as I typed "Kashi Go Lean Crunch" the word GAS
automatically appeared without my having to type it. I knew
then that this wasn't a good sign. But I had to google this to
confirm that it's not "just me" and apparently it is not!!! Let me
just say, a bag of prunes has NOTHING on this cereal!!!!!! If we
could somehow harness this cereal and make some sort of
biofuel, wouldn't it be great??!! Honestly, though, there should
be a warning on this box. It's just mean that they don't warn

you! You need to eat this in solitude....and have no important

plans or appointments for the following 6-8 hours. Thanks
everyone for the laughs here!! Crunch on!!

Glad to see we aren't the only ones with a (g)ass problem. My
husband and I have enjoyed Kashi cereal for about a week
now, however we began to discover increased amounts of
flatulence that smelled like pure sulfur (tmi I know). We
couldn't figure out what it was until we googled "Kashi Gas"
and couldn't believe how common this was. It's saddening to
think our new favorite cereal will end up in the trash.

So I decided I needed to get healthy. Ate Kaski one time and

Yesterday my girlfriends came to town to hang out. Today we

I have had Kashi before, and it has been pretty bad as far as
the bloating and gas goes. But this last delicious box, which I
have eaten exactly one bowl from is going straight into the
trash, unfortunately, as it made me look PREGNANT - yes, very
PREGNANT - before unleashing it's unholy fury on my porcelain
perch. What the F*ck is this stuff? BRUTAL. Though it is
delicious, OUT it goes! I HATE wasting money, and looking
terribly pregnant, so I will never buy this stuff again. Really,
they stay in business - but how? This is appalling! BTW it is the

the occasional colon cleanse which on occasion happened at

sat blowing up like a student-shaped Macy's Thanksgiving Day

walked to be first in the bathroom, then hustled to the other

had to jog to the STAIRWELL to avoid some classmates and set
such an echo off in there that I started laughing uncontrollably.

there some sort of world book record for that? I can't tell you
how thrilled I am to learn that my recent stomach disturbances
are not some horrible affliction. I have been buying Kasha
crunch cereals ,2 boxes at a time for a few months now. This
stuff is like crack, I can't get enough. But the violent bouts of
gas are starting to control my life. I finally was starting to
suspect that the cereal may be the case so I googled, "does
Kasha cause unusual amounts of gas?" and I found you fine,
flatcuent folks. can i just tell you I have never been so gassy in
my entire life, not just gentle fluffs but full on manly air raid
horns. I am a 120 pound petite female. This just isn't right. I
am afraid to make plans for my intestines seem to be calling

I recently met my family on a much needed trip to the beach
and bought a box of Kashi Go Lean Crisp Toasted Berry
Crumble as a special "vacation" treat. Yes, this stuff tastes
fabulous, but I spent the entire trip passing incredible amounts
of gas and trying desperately to figure out what the hell was
going on in my stomach. What a relief to find this site and
discover that 1) I am not alone in the distress caused by Kashi
Go Lean, and 2) I do not have some chronic disease.
I think a couple of other people posting here are on to
something regarding the soy protein being the culprit. In my
search for more information I came across an alarming article
that discusses the soy protein found in Kashi Go Lean is 100%
genetically modified and the hexane bath that the soybeans

are immersed in consists of more than 50% n-hexane, which is

a known neurotoxin, according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention!

I find all kashi cereals have this effect on me, yet I continue to
eat them. They are addictive, it's like having crack in the
cupboard calling my name. Unfortunately my husband is very
"prissy". In 5 years he has never farted in front of me and he
acts disgusted by people who do fart. Now, I come from a long
line of prolific and noteworthy farters who excel in their sport
without the help of kashi products. A glass of water can make
my mother fart. With this impressive pedigree I already have
won awards for my impressive air biscuits. Add some kashi and
we have a copious supply of nuclear air biscuits. Fortunately
for the sake of my wonderful marriage, my husband works
away for two weeks at a time. During that time I console my
feelings of loneliness with big bowls of kashi. I think I will
challenge his high and mighty "civilized people don't fart"
attitude to a kashi face off. See if he really can refrain from
cutting the proverbial cheese after eating a few bowls of gashi.

I've been home from work for a few weeks following a surgical
shoulder repair. All of the pain pills and antiinflamatories were

staring to cause me an upset stomach. Plus, I often take a pill

on an empty stomach before going to bed. Well last night I
woke up with a sour stomach in the middle of the night. I know
how to handle this, a simple glass of milk. So down to the
kitchen I go.... What goes better with milk than cereal. I had a
nice big bowel of my husbands Kashi cereal and watched a few
hours of late night TV before returning to bed. When I finally
did return to bed my husband spooned up along the side of
me, knowing I must be uncomfortable. Then the Kashi kicked
in!!! I ripped a big old fart right on his thigh.... I don't think he

I just read through this entire thread and laughed until I cried.
After three days of extremely painful, thankfully odor free gas,
it dawned on me that the likely culprit was the Kashi Go Lean
Crunch that I'd bought on sale last week. Later, while
Gchatting with my mom, I asked her if Kashi made her gassy,
and she said "Yes! And I spent the entire day in the bathroom
after I ate it!" I was curious if this was a widespread problem
and stumbled upon this gem. I'm almost sad to leave the Gashi
Kashi club, but it hurts too much, both to laugh and to poot. My
box is going in the trash.

I am amazed to know this. I have eaten Kashi Go Lean in past
before my pregnancy from time to time with no problems.
Bought a box yesterday and ate some before bed and woke up
in the middle of the night with the worst gas pains of my life.
Excruciating. It was like a migraine in my abdomen. I actually
checked to see if I had symptoms of appendicitis, but it just

didn't match up. Finally felt better in the morning... Until I ate
some more Kashi after work. My pregnancy hasn't started to
show yet, but after eating Kashi, it ejanded to make me look
like I'm 7 months along. This was when I began to suspect
Kashi was the culprit, and this site seems to affirm that
suspicion.
The thing is, I eat fiber all the time in my daily life with no
problems, so the fault isn't due to fiber alone, but something
specific to Kashi. Also, in the past, I have never had this
reaction to it, but I havnt bought a box in probably 2 years or
so. I wonder if they have changed something in their recipe at
all?
NEVER AGAIN.

hopes that gravity would help me get the rest out before I got
back. I got rid of some but it was the same thing over again.

Ok, thats it. Once should have been enough. But twice is
definitely enough. I just got back from the bathroom, where I
violently imposed my will on that poor little piece of porcelain.
This was the second time in two weeks that I ate a bunch of
dried fruit and had explosive diarrhea. I mean explosive. It
wasnt like a hose squirting out a bunch of water. It was like a

liquid] projectile, and BAM! Thats how it happened.
Now I know: Dried fruit (such as apricots and prunes) are no

Delicious treats. Took me 6 days to figure these were the

the gas and bloating. Thought for sure I had an abdominal

The last 6 days have been embarrassing and boring due to

cleaning your insides by making you release gas. If your
overly gassy then you probably dont have enough fiber in your

I am posting this on behalf of my sister....I have been on the

phone with her for the past hour, and can hear her
audible farts in the background. She explained to me that she
had been having bad gas lately, and suspected it was the
cereal. She quit eating it a few days, then ate a big bowl this
morning to finish the box. She described embarrassingly loud
gas....described it as "machine gun farts" because they are
fast/loud. I told her to read the ingredient list to try to figure out
if she's reacting to something in it. I told her I'd Google the
cereal for her to see if other people had the same reaction.
Interesting to see so many other people have had the same
problem. She said it's too bad because the cereal does taste
really good. The side effects aren't worth it though.

ByAngieSFon December 13, 2014
OMG, the gas. THE GAS!
I'd bought this before despite the very high sugar content and
enjoyed it. Saw it again at the store and thought, "Huh, why
did I stop buying that? It was tasty!" Now, two days into the
box for both me and my beloved -- it's all come flooding back.
Or exploding back. We can barely stand breathing in the
bedroom. It's cold out and I want to open all the windows
anyway. OH MY GOD IT SMELLS HORRIBLE IN HERE.
And for the record, I am the fiber Queen. Veggies, beans,
whole grains, whole fruit, you name it. This is NOT a body
unaccustomed to fiber and making its displeasure known. It is

Hey Casey i got those those same type today. I started
munching away, i think i ate more than a dozen. I farted all
day. When i got to work i started to have diarrea. I last time i
went to the bathroom before i should leave work, that old
bathroom started to give problems and overflowed. It wouldnt
stop running.Bottom line, no more apricots for me!!!!
Becky Says:
OMGam laughing so much I cant read the screen through the
tears!! Am having the same problem right now and its sooo
funny reading these!
Becky Says:
Have had to open a window before I die.
jessica Says:

Ahhhh.the fibre.the apricot fibre is tearing my stomach

APART right now. Anyones stomach really swollen and
distended after eating lots of apricots? Mine looks nuts right
now!
tina Says:
I dont know if this would be so laugh-out-loud hilarious if I
hadnt just been through it myself, but I am crying from
laughing. My gaseous saga began when I bought a bag of dried
apricots and had lunch at my favorite local Mexican restaurant
the same day. I ordered a la carte and had a side of refried
beans, so I blamed them. The first night, I was up for hours,
with the worst gas of my life, making noises into the toilet like
shooting an air horn into a megaphone! (There are new
neighbors in the apartment next door who sleep right on the
other side of my bathroom wall, too. Got to know them a little
too well that night.) Had a second episode last night after
having a tiny portion of leftover beans for lunch, so threw them
out. I was on my 2nd apricot today when I remembered that Id
downed dozens yesterday and decided to Google dried
apricots gas. Hope I can get away with 2
Unsolved Mystery Says:
I dont know if my stomach hurts more from laughing or this
gas chamber builing up.My fiance and I are a deadly duo right
now and decided to google dried apricots. All I can say is OMG!
We both started sneaking out of the room, and then our trips
became more frequent. We think we may win the guiness book
of toilot paper usage is the shortest period of time. As for
Unsolved Mystery of those houses that explode, some guess its
a gas line, some think its struck by lighting. We ALL know now
its for the unfortunate few who ate the whole bag in one night!

Apricots are fun! Says:
Oh dear god these comments are too funny. Ive been
blaming my apricot farts on the dog for 3 days now. My
husband keeps yelling at the poor pooch and telling him he
smells like inside out-asshole. Im so over this healthy snack!

ann Says:
i am here reading all these comments and stories laughing soo
hard because i was at a store today and seen a 350 gram bag

hell with it i am gonna eat something heathy for a change .so
of course i started eating them when i was on facebook lol and

fell out of bed and all i could do was laugh .i cannot lie down
yet the tummy is not ok yet but i have not have to go use the
bathroom yet liek ye all did hopefully not .well hopefully i will
be ok or i will explode for sure
Jenn Says:
hilarious!!! thank you very much for the reading material. I am
right there with everyone! I bought a bag of dried mixed fruit
from Sams club and experienced the same symptoms. I
stopped and then bought a different bag of dried mixed fruit
and experienced it all over again. Since my bag of dried fruit
was mixed I assumed that it was all the fruit. Is it just apricots
or has anyone experienced other fruit culprits?
Corrie Says:
Today I googled why do dried apricots make me fart? So I
followed the first link and found this place of merry fart/poop
posts. OMG, I laughed out loud so many times. I am even
saving this link so my hubby can read what people are saying
about the cot. Today I am happy the grease trap at work was
stinky otherwise my day would have been quite embarassing
and inconvenient. I love, love, dried apricots. I will try to eat
fewer and see if I can get away with that.
You people are too damn funny!!! Happy farting;p
irene Says:
oh my god this is hilarious!!!!

Ive just googled dried apricots gas after i got a bit suspicious
about my farting marathon.and found the link to this page
probably the best thing on the net!!!!
Ive recently started a special diet, and needed something
healthy to much on between mealsso i thought dried apricots
would do the trick! ive gone through half a 500g packet so far,
in 3 days.
day 1: got clogged up, leaving me feeling as bloated and
helpless as a beached whale.
day 2: violently assaulted the toilet. i even cant count the
number of times i ran for the can yesterday and had what
looked like epileptic seizures on the toilet as i machine-gunned
toxic apricot residue. i pity the neighborsthe walls are paper
thin.
day 3: i honestly think that Im capable of farting out the tune
to my national anthem including the long notes.
Kwbts124 Says:
and to top it all off, I gave my dog one!
sean Says:
Thank goodness we finally figured out the cause of my
beautiful wifes horrendous gas. The smell coming out of her
cute ass doesnt seem possible, really. I mean were talking
400lb, sweaty, beer guzzlin, tv dinner eatin truck driver farts.
I bought a bag of apricots at costco about a month ago and she
has been laying the gnarliest most disgustingly thick and
clinging to the inside of you nose farts. The farts have actually
woken me up twice because they smell so bad. Everybody farts
but these are atomic death fartsthe smell woke me upI was
gagging and felt like I was sleeping in a putrid sewer. For
weeks we have been trying to diagnosenew vitamins, the
juicer, chex bars what is it? We even currently have a call into
the dr.. She coincidentally just finished the bag tonight so I am
keeping my fingers crosssed. No, really, I asked her if some
animal crawled up her ass and died, these farts were the worst
I have ever, ever smelledand they just kept coming night

after night. I am going to be so grateful if this fart nightmare is

finally over.
stinky Says:
This is absolutely hilarious! Im in the same boat as all of you
I was so excited when I came home with a box of dried apricots
because theyre so yummy. I dont remember anything like this
happening when I was a kid, but I ate a bunch in school two
days ago and suffered miserably. I thought maybe I just had an
upset stomach from something else, which seemed relatively
cured after a miserable bout of diarrhea. So last night, as I was
finally feeling completely okay internally once more, I came
home from working out and snacked liberally on the delicious
little fruits only to be quickly attacked by violent intestinal
pain and horrific bouts of putrid, smelly gas. I tried to go to
bed, but could only sleep for half an hour at a time until the
gas had built up to a volume where it was so painful it would
wake me up just so that I could fart! And there was no solid
relief to follow this time. My poor fiance. My stomach still hurt
this morning when I woke up, but since I have emptied myself
a little, I feel much, much better. I thought I had food
poisoning, but the timing of my pain coincided so neatly with
my recently eaten apricots, that it made me wonder and as
I typed dried apricots into google, it suggested the following
word: gas. Apparently I am not alone. And thus I found this
hilarity! Apparently these fruit should come with a warning
label.
And just to make it worse:

Mary Says:
OMG I just found out what I have been doing wrong! I have
been in misery for 2 days cause I ate healthy dried apricots
yesterday and suffered last night (I blamed the tbsp of peanut
butter I had on my toast) and then just to make sure I was
eating healthy again today I brought them with me to have at
work. I must have eaten 20 or 30. OMG I have suffered all
night. Im never eating healthy again!

sherri Says:
LOL, This whole line of remarks has me laughing till I am
crying!! I love apricots, but can only eat a few and the gas
begins!! This afternoon, I ate four and now the entire house is
a smell of something that I can not describe!! Hang in there
apricot eaters!!
michelle Says:
ok it all started in an airport. waited to board i thought dried
apricots would be a good snack for my trip. up in the air the
explosions began. for the rest of my journey i was running for
the bathrooms. i thought i was some thing i ate or traveling
was upsetting my stomach. on my next trip two months later
(not thinking of my last experience) i got another bag of the
apricots, soon after i began looking for the closest restroom. i
was convinced i just did not travel well. it has been four
months since my traveling trauma. to day i grabbed a bag of
apricots on the run, i hadnt eaten anything all day so the bag
did not last me long. BIG MISTAKE in about 30 min it felt like a
battle field was ragging in my abdomen. gas was exploding,
and i really needed to get home. as soon as i arrived home i
sprinted to the toilet. finally i put two and two together,
traveling had nothing to do with my toilet problems. it was the
delicious heathy snake choices. i quickly began searching the
internet from an answer to my discomfort when i found this
web site. misery loves company, and hell ya, thank you to all
that help me know that i was not alone. word to the wise, when
eating dried apricots, MODERATION is key!
Jennifer Says:
Another victim. I bought some dried apricots at Trader Joes
today and took them with me to my THERAPY APPOINTMENT
this evening! I shared them with my therapist and hope to God
that she isnt suffering terribly now. My stomach began to
make weird noises during my session but then the gas began
while I was sitting in my car on the side of the freeway waiting
for AAA to come change my flat tire. Yes, this was pretty much
a worse case scenario sort of day. So, I googled dried apricots
gas and sure enough, here is my answer. I am going to good

every new thing I am considering eating + gas before eating it

from now on. Had I seen this thread firstI could have saved
myself (and my therapist) a lot of unhappiness. It IS sort of
funny, though!
Chanelle Says:
Seems everyone comes here to get their farts diagnosed!
I unconsciously polished off a bag of dried apricots today, not
feeling sick yet but can NOT stop fartingtotally involuntary.
One ripped out when I bent down to pick up the phone, and
also when my boyfriend and I were skyping his mum!!!!
littleal Says:
All I can add is try having the misfortune of your first apricot
experience when you are 5 months pregnant! I thought the
baby was going to get expelled along with the bloody apricots!
So much for upping my iron levels naturally glad Ive worked
out the trigger though and no longer am concerned that I
contracted salmonella via my lunchtime peanut butter fix!
Thank god for googled apricot gas
Oh My... Says:
I ate a half a bag not too long ago, and Oh myit was awful in
the house that evening. I blamed it on my infant daughter. My
husband bought it too.
katsa Says:
great to feel amongst other sufferers. Just experinced the
apricot gas and i was stuck in a small room with my husband.
he is giving me the that cant have been you look and even
cat left the room.
Jessica Says:
I too am 5 months pregnant and just spent the weekend SICK
IN BED from, apparently, the dried apricots. And I didnt know
it, either, and so I ATE MORE TODAY when I was finally feeling
better! Ack! I had more of the explosive-type of symptoms but
also including aches and chills. Im telling you these things are

lethal! Thanks for the funny little post and series of hilarious
comments. Sure makes me feel better!
Red-faced with shame Says:
Yesterday my boyfriend sat and watched me polish off nearly 8
oz. of dried apricots after my workout. He gently said You
know, its a well-known fact that eating lots of dried fruit, such
as apricots, can, well, lets just say if you have any intestinal
back-up, you wont in a few hours. He then wisely ducked out
of the apartment for an hour or so. I wish he had instead
jumped up from his chair, grabbed the container from my hand
and said, For the love of God, woman! Stop eating those little
stink-bombs! I had to spend the rest of my evening sneaking
into the bathroom, opening windows, burning incense, blaming
the cat box, EVERYTHING to try to save face. He hasnt broken
up with me yet, so maybe he didnt notice the toxic fumes I
produced. Anyway, as delicious as those innocent little fruits
might be, I am officially banning them from my diet.
Big E Says:
Raisins do it to me. Also, if I eat bananas with peanut butter.
Prunes are absolutely horrid.
My girlfriend had a bag of cots in her desk and was munching
on them one day. I was at work in another city and didnt get
home till the next day. She started texting me about her gas
issues. Im SOO glad I wasnt home. She said the smell was
horrible and the crapping was unreal. Like a Wagner power
sprayer.
She did a google search and found this page. I bookmarked it
and read it every-so-often. I still laugh.
I learned a long time ago that those little bastards a capable
of squeegee-ing out my guts. I love them but dont eat more
that 3 or 4 at a time. I wish I could have warned my girl but
then I wouldnt be here enjoying this page.
The guys at work are always trying to stink each other out. I
should tell one of them about Apricots and see what happens.
Stinko Says:

Im 6 weeks pregnant and thought I got food poisoning from a

cookout. Nope! Its all the lovely dried apricots I ate.
I stink.
Amy Says:
Ha, I googled dried apricots gas and found myself here as
well. Im laughing at everyones comments. Funny thing is I
have always eaten dried apricots and never had this happen!
Ive eaten about a handful of Trader Joes Turkish Apricots, each
day for the past three days, and every day the same gassy
problem. Now I wonder if its me, or if its the apricots that
have changed
April Says:
I, too, reek of the bnoxious rank from eating dried apricots. My
husband has banned them from the house now. But if you cant
resist the yummy snack be sure to include Gas-X in your diet
and you will be covered.
Suzie, the smelly one Says:
Thankyou Google for giving me such a good laugh tonight. I
too suffered from the apricot windy pops, I thought my
husband might divorce me. I actually went up to bed early that
night (last week) because I was stinking out the lounge after
eating 1/2 a bag of the devil fruits. 10 minutes later he told me
the smell was no longer contained in the bedroom but had
drifted downstairs to the lounge! He actually groaned out loud
when he came up to bed later and pushed the windows open
further. Next time I will plan my apricot eating shenanigans to
a day when I have the house to myself!
Liz Says:
Wow, I am glad that I had the thought to google dried fruit
gas and that I stumbled upon so many others before me who
have had such a terrible fate after eating apricots. Im not sure
how I will part from them but as soon as I finish this container,
Ill lay low from dried fruit for a while. Maybe next time Ill just
eat 2 or 3.

Sore belly Says:

Goodness me! I have the sorest belly right now and not even
some eno has soothed it! Ate 225g packet today after thinking
I too would grab something healthy. Moderation must definitely
be the key to these little critters as Ive eaten them numerous
times bfore without this reaction. Stomach sounds like a
thunderstorm is brewing!
Laura Says:
I also googled apricot fart. I ate about 30 yesterday before I
met up with my ex boyfriend, I hadnt seen him since we broke
up 3 months ago so it was kind of a big deal. I noticed in the
afternoon that my farts where so nasty and so frequent that
my walls where turning brown. My farts are usually nothing
much, (dont tell anybody but I actually secretly like smelling
them! They smell like violets).
Once I was out though- my goodness I had the most
shocking, twisting pain in my stomach trying to hold them in.
Luckily he didnt seem to notice, I tried to only do them when I
was at the bar, just before I walked away (sneaky!) I had to
excuse myself throughout the evening to release the pressure
in my bowels. I dropped piles and piles of apricot poo into the
pub toilet so horrible.
Are they good for us? Today I feel cleansed, maybe if I
persevere, and keep eating them, my insides will become nice
and clean and this wont happen?
Danielle Says:
I purchased one pound of dried apricots from the airport with
no knowledge that such a horrible result would come from
eating about half the bag. I was trying to eat healthy today so I
had a salad at lunch but I was still hungry afterwards, so I went
for the bag of dried apricots. My stomach started to hurt
around 3:50pm making me late for a 4pm meeting with the
client. When I returned to the hotel, I put in a call for room
service. Had to ask the room service guy to put the tray next
to the door, though I normally ask for them to set it on the
desk, but I was too embarassed by the smell to let the man

come too far inside. After reading this site, I sent the link to my
sister, brother in law and dad, but kept my boyfriend off the
list. Though I love all the comments, I couldnt let the boyfiwnd
know I was among those on the toilet for an extended period of
time.
Michelle Says:
Go Danielle!
Sinak Says:
Thanks everyone for sharing Ive had some minimal
discomfort before but I cant recall how many I ate today.. I was
trying to eat healthfully today and had stir-fried veggies and a
BUNCH of apricots for lunch. At around 5:30 this evening my
insides began to explode. Im guessing my tenants are pretty
horrified right about now. My toddler is smarter than me, she
only ate one at lunch and wouldnt eat any more. Things are
starting to settle down now but I would rather have a few extra
pounds than see the toilet that many times in a five-hour
period. Im so glad I googled dried apricots gas and found all
of these stories, Ive been laughing so hard in between farts
even though Im uncomfortable and stinky at least I am happy.
My husbands told me tonight that apricots are off limits from
now on.
Haha Says:
hahahahahahahahahaha!!!! all i can say, is my husband and i
are laughing our heads off in bed reading these, while im
blowing him away with my apricot gas. I LOVE DRIED
APRICOTS!!!!
Meagan Says:
Hello all you apricot lovers and sufferers! I discovered this site
after having a strong hunch for about a month that my painful
stomach cramps were due to the 200g packs of apricots I buy
each week. After one particularly moving session, I dropped
them from my grocery list, but needed an alternative for
healthy munching. I highly recommend dried cranberries!
Theyre less fibrous, high in antioxidants, and dont contain

sulfur dioxide. I havent once had to ravage my toilet since

switching over. The best part is that my husband, a very quiet
and polite guy who would never make light of me, thoroughly
appreciates the change. I always felt so bad for him after an
apricot binge
Jessa Says:
All I can say is that cots and I have a love-hate relationship I
love them, they hate me! I recently bought two 150g bags of
apricots. I ate just half a packet throughout the day. That was
two days ago. And Im STILL leaking noxious gas from my butt.
Seriously, Im making myself gag! Its awful! You try and hold it
in. okay, good so far oh no! There it goes! Oh, okay, that
one didnt smell! Until you move. and the lethal fumes creep
up and clog your windpipe.
Thankfully I havent been so kindly blessed with the explosive
dihorrea you lot have been experiencing!
Never Again Says:
While grocery shopping over the weekend, I decided dried fruit
would be an excellent snack while at work. Tuesday morning,
after eating a banana for breakfast, along with Kashi shredded
wheat, I ate about 10 apricotswhy did I do that? I was unsure
if it was the Kashi or the large salad the night before, but my
midsection began rapidly expanding. I am a very petite
woman, but I appeared to have gone from a size 1 to seven
months pregnant in a few short hours. I will tinkle at work but I
never use the bathroom at work (if you catch my drift);
however Tuesday was an exception. Luckily I had two travel
size canisters of lysol in my purse. By the time I made it to the
restroom I could barely get my clothes off. As I squatted, the
loudest noise I have ever heard erupted from my rear end. I
couldnt believe it! Not only was the gas loud it lasted for an
eternity. Luckily no one was that close byand it didnt smell.
Then I felt a very tiny solid mass escape. I wasnt sure what it
wasas I turned and looked I thought my insides were coming
out. But again, I didnt know what caused this unexplainable
gas/bloating. Luckliy I made it home before the explosive gas
movements began. Needless to say, I ate apricots at work on

Wednesday and again today. As I headed to the bathroom to

release some of the pressure, I realized it must be the apricots,
as hours earlier the gas had begun and I had completely
unzipped my pants and was praying they wouldnt fall down as
I ruched down in elevator 11 floors and across a mezzaine to
the private bathroom. So, after letting a ton of gas out, I
googled apricots and gas. This site is wonderful, brought me to
laughter and tears! Boy was I glad. Never Again will I eat
apricots, Never Again.
Lesllie Rhodes Says:
I was so relieved that I discovered the source of the most
explosive gas attack in my life. Both my husband and I were
afflicted. My detecting skills narrowed down the source of the
affliction. To support my reasoning I decided to google horrible
gas from dried apricots. So here I am in the company of some
485,000 unwitting souls. It makes on feel ever so much better
about their indulgence when you see it on the internet that
indeed you are not dying and you are not alone. I have also
learned one other valuable lesson from this. I shall pass it on to
all. Never trust a fart
Sally Says:
I have been on a diet and trying to stay off carbs, want to get
back to a size 12..
Came accross this threat googling the potential effects of
apricots..
Well I read so much about the benefits of fibre and fruits I got
one of those bags of really soft and juicy dried apricots from
Waitrose..I snacked on them all afternoon at work, they were
irresiteble (like most things that have a bad side).
Aparently they can be as laxative as prunes!, wish I had known
this before I ate a whole pack at work last week!
Late afternoon I got massive gurgles, bloating and crampy
wind!, which got embarrassingly smelly so resulted in several
dashes outside to a smoking area to releve the pressure.

The nightmare came on the way home.diarrhoea!, sudden,

and with cramps and real urgency! I got home but not without
a minor mishap!!..OMG!!!..lol
The intensity of the diarrhoea was almost uncontrollable!,
thank goodness for Vanish!
Anna Says:
All i can say is thank god Im not alone!! I have been gurgling
all day and with massive awful farts and was beginning to
wonder what i had eaten wrongwell now I knowit was those
20 or so dried apricots this morningIm sooo never eating
them again!
Cassie Says: 1247
I am so thrilled to have discovered this website. I googled
apricots cause gas after both my husband and I ate some
oatmeal with dried fruits of which the dried apricots and
blueberries were the offending and stinky contributors. I work
right next to an office water cooler so folks had to walk through
the green cloud to get quench their thirst. My husband had gas
so bad that he remained in the TV room until about 3pm when
his bowels stopped waking him up. It was really amazing that
our bodies could generate so much gas! I thought it was the
chocolate and am so glad that it wasnt the MAIN cause.
Anne Wolfe Says:
all kidding aside, dried apricots are what put me into labor! I
think it was the pushing out gas & explosives that started the
contractions.
Kirsten Mallory Says:
I could NOT figure out why Ive had such terrible gas this week.
Its Friday and this morning I had an explosion that included
diarrhea. Im a teacher and was in class. This was a very long
unpleasant day as I had no way of changing. All this week Ive
packed dried apricots in my lunches. I love them or I used to!
So after the kids were gone, I searched the internet and found
all these people who know exactly how I feel. Dont you just
love the internet. NO MORE DRIED APRICOTS!

Sally Says:
Kirsten, All I can say is poor you and ditto!, I needed a change
of delicates that day it happened too! Luckily it was nearly the
end of the day when my accident occurred and I was able to
nip out to M&S for a pair of fresh knicks!

Kathie Says: 1247
Oh thank goodness for this thread. I ate 5 dried apricots
yesterday, and scolded my poor husband for eating too many
at the time as well! Today I awoke to diahorrea, and have had
several doses since. I do not feel sick as such, so those juicy,
irresistable dried apricots have been blamed. Who would of
thought a mere 5 could create such havoc? Interestingly hubby
who consumed twice as much has been spared sitting
endlessly on the great white throne!
Hannah Says:
This is priceless! I forgot that dried apricots have this charming
side effect until I had 10 or so today at work. Im a teacher and
towards the end of the day it was getting really hard to hold in
the farts when I was with the kids.
I loved reading all the gruesome stories. I still have a large
pack of apricots, but I think Ill limit myself!
Weirdly, the reason I bought the apricots was because Id
shared some with a friend the day before, with no ill effects. I
bought rehydrated ones, though, which might have been the
problem.
Steve Says: 1247
I have been suffering from dreadful flatulence today and
noticed that my wife was also breaking wind very frequently
and I said to her it must be the dried apricots that we had
consumed. I googled dried apricots and flatulence and arrived
at this site. I checked the packet and it states that the apricots

were packed and distributed by a company called Humdinger

which is a very appropriate name. I think there should be a
flatulence warning put on the packets because its the worst
flatulence I have ever had in my life.
Caroline Says: 1247
Dried apricots have been referred to as fart biscuits for years
among our family members, who have been known to have
contests to see who could eat the most apricots and create the
most noxious fumes (what large families do for fun.). I had no
idea that the little jewels had the same effect on everyone
else!!!
Melanie Says: 1247
I know that dried apricots give me gas every time I eat them
and I still have them in my office upper drawer, left side.
Luckily I have my own office, hold in farts and go to the
bathroom frequently to release them. I love them but I am sure
could be named stinker of the week and for a female that is
not very flattering. When I have apricot farts at home and my
husband comes into the room and falls back out of it I blame
it on our old Mastiff sorry girl.
Becky Says:
Oh my gosh, you guys are so funny! I received a bag of Mariani
Mixed Dried Fruit (Sugar Free) as a gift oh my, what a gift! I
was a bit hungry at work so snacked on them mid-morning.
That afternoon the incredible gasiness started. And then after a
couple of trips to the toilet, I think that everything that was
inside of me came out! After that, no more problems. I left the
bag out in the main area for my co-workers to eat as I just
dont think I can go through that experience again. That wasnt
very nice of me to give those to my co-workers though, was it?
I thought it was just me, but after reading this I know its not
just me!
I do have to say that I think it is the sulfur dioxide and the
Natural Flavoring that I saw on the ingredient list that did the
job. I have eaten lots of dried fruit in my day, but usually buy

the un-sulfured, organic kind and I have never had a problem

like this before!
Thank you so much for the laughs! Im saving this page as one
of my favorites! HAHA!!
kristy Says: 1247
i love dried apricots but they can become quite costly so i
bought one of those jumbo bags for myself. bad idea. when
doing your work, sitting at the desk, and having the bag right
there its hard to resist. its heavenly in the short term but it
doesnt last. its like my stomach fills with bubbles every minute
and then comes that silent but deadly stench, much to the
disgust of my family with my brother claiming it smells like a
fart bomb. after reading this i am certain that i will resist even
looking at those nasty apricots again. im sure i should be
sticking to more healthy substitutes.
Krista Says: 1247
I am so happy I found this blog. Ive been farting in my work
office the whole week after eating tons of dried apricots, and
living in fear that some unsuspecting soul would walk into one
of my many toxic fart clouds. Thanks for the laughs after
reading these stories, I not only know what the culprit was, but
I am definitely in a better mood. Beware the delicious dried
apricotsBEWARE.
olivia Says:
Haha i cant believe I googled do apricots give you gas and i
found this. as im writing this i feel a huge fart coming. i guess
this is what i get for eating half the bag of dried apricots in the
kitchen at work that were for the kids that attend the after
school program..
Sarah Says:
Holy fart buckets!!! I have never had gas or shit like this
beforeI cant stop eating them either!!! Within about an hour
of eating them, I am either pooping, or farting out sewer gas
farts. Is it the sulphur in the dried apricots, or just the apricot

itself?? I have eated fresh undried ones before and this has
never happened??
Jane Says: 247
This site cracks me up and I am soooo glad I found It! Ive been
eating dried apricots all week. To be frank, I have been
pinching by butt checks together all week at work trying not to
pass gassssss. LOL My co-workers have been looking at me
weird and my stomach has been making these loud awful
noises. I have been wondering ALL week what is wrong with
me and my gut. I dismissed the apricots because Ive had them
before and dont remember this. How could apricots cause this
many issuesI thought to myself. Thinking that I may be
pregnant, I even took a pregnancy test!!! Too funny. Thanks for
sharing all of your comments hilarious!
sarah Says:
I have asked around and some people get the gas and shitters,
and some dont. Want to have some real fun?? eat a couple
Fiber One bars!!! I ate one lastnight on a dare from my sister
and when I farted this morning it wasnt a dry fart.yesat 40
years old, I SHIT MY PANTS!!!! I called my sister to thank her
and tell her the newsdo NOT eat Fiber One bars either.the
gas is not as noxious as the apricots, but the farts just may be
a bit more wet, lol!!
Tara Says:
OMGThis is hilarious. I too have had terrible gas and
intestinal pain from too many dried apricots. The first time I ate
about 20 of them and about an hour later had the most
horrendous gas EVER while at work. I was extremely grateful
for the air freshener in the bathroom. The next day, not
realizing that it was the apricots that caused it the first day,
the same thing happened as well as day three, which was the
worst day of them all. Okay so apparently I dont learn after
the first time and as I was packing my lunch for tomorrow I
thought I should google eating too many dried apricots and I
came across this site. I laughed so hard I had tears rolling
down my face. I dont think Ill pack any for lunch tomorrow.

charlotte Says:
oh my god, this site has had me sobbing with laughter.
my tale began this morning, when I ate ten dried apricots
sprinkled on top of a salad. Its fine, thought I. The lettuce will
soak up the fibre. (This is why I am not a scientist, guys.)
IT WASNT FINE. I was out for a walk a few hours later when I
felt the first diarrhea clenches, and through sheer force of will
managed to get home without shitting myself. AN HOUR. IT
TOOK OVER AN HOUR TO WALK HOME. I have never been so
alarmed at my own body and I hope to god I wont have to ask
the question Will I make it home before I shit everywhere
ever again. Good God.

So it was the apricots! I thought I would die and my family
thought they were going with me. My husband recorded me in
my sleep. I thought it was prunes or dates the apricots seemed
so innocent. What kind of apricots are you all eating?
Sarah Says:
Well isn;t that just the poop!!!..I am very lucky I have not
gotten the toots or squirts from fresh cots!!
Renae Says: 1247
Laughing my ass off at these comments right now ! Havent
laughed so hard that it made me cry in a long time. I thought
something was wrong with me until I realized I had eaten dried
apricots 2 days in a row approx 10 each round. OMG I thought I
had a hot rocket attached to my ass & I was gonna take off. For
once I actually woke my husband & the dog up last night with
this horrible smell / sound. Im surprised he didnt ask for a
divorce this morning after 20 years
shygirl13 Says:
Recently had a very unfortunate incident with the delicious
little devils. Im a nurse, and a grateful patients family had
given me dried apricots as a thankyou present. Not really

thinking, I snacked on them on the way home, as traffic was

hideous and I was starving. Before I even got through the door,
my stomach was in knots and before long I was running to the
bathroom, a lot. Im really small and petite, so my stomach
became really swollen. To make matters worse, that night, my
bf was coming home after 2 months working overseas, so I was
pretty upset with these damn apricots. I opened the door for
him (after three showers), smelly, tired and looking what Im
sure was absolutely fricken stunning. No joke, his first words to
me were sweetie, is there something you need to tell me?
Ugh. No, Hun, Im not 5 months pregnant, I just look it.
Needless to say, it wasnt exactly the reunion we had planned.
FrannazM Says: 1247
Well, after 10 years I have finally found that I am not alone in
my reaction to dried apricots. I love them, but ten years ago
had to give them up as I was working in a public library and
the smell from my farts was detrimental to the health of all the
poor readers who came into contact with me. My husband was
so appalled he thought I could be fed dried apricots and flown
over to Iraq as the UKs Weapon of Mass Destruction.
So I gave them upuntil yesterday when I had about 6. And
yes, I farted at home and my husband was gagging and
complaining. He says the smell is really thick and sticks to the
inside of his nostrils. Me? I cant smell so good but that was
from my library years of eating apricots and cherries. I think I
damaged my own smell sensors!
Super funny posts though!
sophie Says:
I love this thread
BUT is there any dried fruit I CAN eat without have the bottom
belchers?!
Tamara Says:
Just ate a bunch of dried mangoes and Im wearing velour
pants. My rolling farts sound like a hundred mitten wearing
midgets applauding.

Pamela Says:
I laughed myself hollow reading these posts but it isnt so
funny when youre in the thick of it. I know damned well what
they do but I was baking today and pinched three. Just three!
They were lovely but Ive had to turn the plug-ins up because
of the heavy farting. Theres no gaviscon or anything in the
house and Im actually exhausted from it now. Learn people!

Shelley Says: 1247

I had about 8 of them at 3pm, its now 8pm and Im surprised I
havent turned myself inside-out with all the farting. Around
4pm my stomach started making peculiar noises, by 4.30pm
my gaseous emissions sounded like the cannons in the 1812
overture, and the smell, my god, I had Mexican chicken soup
for lunch so you cant begin to imagine the horror I thought
the wallpaper might start to peel off. Hubbys home from work
now and hes not impressed with trumpers, so Im sat on the
toilet trying to let them hiss out rather than explode, Im doing
ok apart from the odd shocking blast pathetically disguised

with a too-late cough. Please let this end before bedtime,

never again, I swear :(
Jessica Says: 1247
Im so glad that I found this website because I cant keep a
secret in for long. It started on a beautiful day at haven and I
indulged on I dont know how many apricots. By night time my
stomach felt a bit funny so I went to the toilet and had a
tremendous poo. When I went back to bed I did loads of farts
and had to get up to go to the toilet once more. When I reentered I opened the bedroom door and the smell that hit me
in the face was so bad I thought I was going to faint.
Sarah Wall Says: 1247
Is there a website with such a long thread as this? Seriously.
Going back to 2006!
I only eat 6 a day and my stomach looks like lm 3 months
pregnant.
I went to the toilet at work to fart and wondered what the
constant noise was whilst sat there pondering and realised it
was air coming out of my bottom with no pushing required. Just
like when you let air out of a balloon-imagine if l had done that
in the office. Oh the shame
Fiset94 Says: 1247
I had my retina detach from my eye last week and had it
repaired via surgery. I have to be face down for the next
3weeks for recovery. If that wasnt bad enoughI am also 4 months pregnant and was informed by my o.b this
week that I needed to increase my iron. I decided to add these
little harmless fruits to my daily intake.
Laying here face down In my bed- Iam re-thinking that
decision. The fumes are seaping up through the sheets and
Making their way to my nose. I deal with the pain and the
uncomfortable ness of not even being able to lie in the fetal
position to help this pass- but let me tell ya -When the gas
stopped-the poop party began.

I hobbled into the bathroom and did not come out for 45min.
Im sure that I am in for a long night!
I agree 100 Percent with the warning Why is there no warning
on this bag!!!!
Alison Says:
Just ate 30 apricots and shit my ass off.
Sara Says:
I just ate majority of a bag of these little vile suckers. I had
barely anything in the house to eat, so I figured, oh this is
healthy. To my dismay, this proceeded with an onsite of
explosive diarrhea. Im gassy, I cannot even make it to my car
to drive to the store, and I dont know what the hell to do
because Im not going to be able to sleep tonight. This blows
literally :p
Janet Says:
Omg! I have never laughed so hard in my life. I was sitting her
at work eating dried apricots when I started to experience
horrible gas and bloating. I googled and here I am! I will never
put a dried apricot in my mouth again! Thanks for the laugh!,
Kim Says: 1247
Oh my God people youre killing me! As if farting like an
arthritic dog and repulsing my husband with my stinky butt
wasnt bad enough, Ive now woken the baby with my screams
of laughter from everyones comments. I need to stop reading
before I piss my pants or shit myself.
(I ate 250g of the little buggers about five hours ago am I
going to get any sleep tonight?)
Trish Says:
I am so glad Im not alone. My stomach just made a noise that
sounded like a baby crying, Im not even joking.
The same thing happened years ago but I thought it was a
coincidence and maybe I was just sick in general, but after

eating a LOAD of dried apricots this morning and then finding

this page, I now know the truth.
So far lots of stomach grumbling and one trip to the toilet. Not
much farting but I have a feeling thats because Im too scared
of shitting myself so Im subconciously holding them in.
These things are like steel wool for your insides, there were
things in that toilet bowl I could not have imagined. I have
been wanting to lose some weight, but not like this. Not like
this
I fear since I have only been once so far, there is more to
come. I have to pick up my daughter from school in an hour.
What have I done???
Apricot Regrets Says:
Thank you so much for this blog..I spent Monday night glued
to (or rather in lift-off from) my toilet having suffered several
hours of subterranean gurglings.actually gurgling is too quiet
a word to describe what was going on in my
stomach..accompanied by smells that would make a volcano
blush and emissions every five minutes (I could have set my
watch by them).
I was convinced that I had some dire tropical disease (how?)
but when I worked out what it was that I had eaten that my
husband had not I googled dried apricot gas and there I
waslaughing until the tears ran down my face while
suffering so badly at the same time. Feeling crap (literally) and
reading how bad it was for other people strangely made me
feel so much better. At least I was in my own house with an ensuite.
I only ate ten dried apricots! But I had put some of them in a
stew a few weeks earlier and everyone who ate it had toilet
problems the next day and I could not work out which
ingredient had caused it.now I know. I will never, ever eat a
dried apricot again.
There needs to be a public health awareness campaign about
these things.

Alix Says: 1247

I had this exact same problem, and I only ate 9 of them! My
boyfriend informed me the morning after that I had kept him
up all night with horrifically disgusting farts and I was so
embarrassed. I love dried apricots and have been trying to eat
better lately so I thought this was the way forward. Googled it
today and apparently it isnt. Though Ive also read that its
mainly caused by dried fruits treated with sulphur dioxide. So
that could be the problem, and the reason why it smells so bad
(if anyone has ever smelled sulphur you know what I mean).
Also apparently three dried apricots is the equivalent to 1 if
your 5-a-day, so all of us lot eating twenty, thirty odd of them
are definitely going to have issues. I find it strange though
because I do believe there was a time where I never had this
issue? Maybe I was eating untreated fruit without knowing.
Odd.
Lana Smith Says: 1247
After having eaten a bag of the devil fruit, I too was in for a
night of terror. Luckily, I was off to see a concert. Several
things were in my favor. A. The music was loud! B. It was
outdoors, and a windy evening, and C. The pot was blowing
around! This enabled me to let um rip- and rip the did!! Im
talking 2 minute ones!! Thanks to the above God- send little
helpers, do not think even my new husband noticed!!! No more
devil cots for me!!!
Maisie-Lou Says: 1247
Falling of my chair here this is so funny. I havent laughed this
much or ages. I had apricots 36 hours ago and am still farting.
My husband arrived home from work and walked straight into
the cloud I dont know if our marriage can rebound from it
will he ever look at me in the same way again?. I couldnt
blame it on the dogwe havent got one.
minka Says:
Oh man. Glad Im not one my own with this one. I love dried
apricots but they do give me gas, though usually nothing too
terrible. Havent had them in a while but got some on a whim

and yesterday afternoon/last night ate a little more than half of

the 1/2 lb. container. I definitely ate too many and was pretty
farty from it but my husband is away on business so only my
cats were disturbed, and they ended up being extremely
curious to investigate the source of the sound and the strange
smell. I had to shoo them away from my butt! This morning,
however, I woke up, had coffee and then had a somewhat
fiber-inspired BMbut about a half-hour later, BAM! I suddenly
ripped this tremendous fart, followed by the urgent need to go
to the bathroom againand this time, it was the deadlysmelling explosion everyone is mentioning, so much so that I
had to jump in the shower right afterwards to clean off. When I
left the bathroom carrying the yoga pants I had been wearing,
the horrible bathroom stench followed me all the way through
the apartment. And thats when I realized that my yoga pants
were totally soiled inside. I was so freaked out by that, as its
something that never happened to me before (not even as a
kid that I can remember), I did the apricot and diarrhea
Google thing, and like everyone else, found myself here. Now
Im laughing about my first ever crapping-in-my-pants
experience and the power of an apricot fart!
Maisie-Lou Says:
My wife has now identified apricots as the cause of her
flatulant episodes. For many years we thought that it was just
going to have to be something we had to live with, going for a
walk when the house was engulfed etc.. Now that apricots
have been eliminated from her diet, we again share a bed
room and the general health of the family has improved. Our
bearded dragon is also much more active. We now check all
processed foods carefully for apricot content and have written
to our MP to demand that a special warning symbol be
displayed on dangerous food items. We now understand that
commedy actors use apricots before flatulance scenes.
Jenny Says: 1247
OMG this is hilarious. I ate a ton of apricots today at work and
suddenly started blowing ass something fierce. Like loud, huge
man farts. I thought something was wrong with me as I have

never farted so much in my entire life. So I looked at the box

the apricots came in and saw that sulphur dioxide was the
preservative. Then I googled does sulphur dioxide make you
fart?. Well this was the very first thing came up so I clicked on
it and Im sitting here in my office reading everyones posts
and crying from laughter. Everyone is walking by my office
wondering why Im laughing and why it smells like shit
hahahahahaha. Hope it doesnt last too long. No more apricots
for me yikes.
Stinko Says:
I have just Googled dried apricot farts and, from the settee of a
house, in a city in England, I have arrived here, with other
people so smited by a deeply unfriendly case of the trumps.
May I take this opportunity to apologise to my daughter (4)
who, after Id read her a couple of stories and sang Twinkle
Twinkle, had to fall asleep in a room that smelt like a French
campsite.
Fortunately, my husband is somehow immune. Which says
quite a bit more than youd think.
No more dried apricots for me,
OMG I love you people. We are all types all creeds, races,
ages, weights and opinions but we have one thing in common
we have been tempted and also fooled like Eve by the innocent
appearing fruit of the Devil himself and now we apparently
have entered a sort of Apricopalypse!

And seriously, I wonder what happens in Turkey? Arent they
eating a lot of them as they seem to mostly be Turkish
apricots, no? What is it like at night on Turkish streets? In
Turkish baths? Could Turkey singlehandedly solve the energy

They are sitting on an exploding gold mine!

Apricotonomous!
We are legion! Expect us!! (to fart)
Thank you, each and every one of you for giving me the best
belly laughs Ive had in a long while, making my poor husband
simply appalled at my ongoing laugh crying, and rip roaring
farts; continuously abusing the couch in a seemingly
unstoppable duet of shame.
Jess Says:
Ohhh my stomach! I ate about 300g of dried apricots for
breakfast thinking it was healthy 1 hour later on my way to
work I get crippling stomach cramps, my stomach feels like its
about to explode. Called in sick and drove home. Sweating I
stumble into the house and collapse in agony from my
stomachache. Clutching a pillow tightly I winced at the huge
explosions left my bum hoping that with each one my stomach
would be relieved much to my dismay it only got worse. Its
been 4 hours and Im still lying here with my pillow digging into
my aching cramping stomach . When will this be over ?? I went
to the bathroom and couldnt even shit ! Thought I might get
lucky and have a big runny shit but no just cramps and gas for
me :( I wouldnt mind
even throwing these apricots up just get them out of my
stomach now!!!
