A high fiber diet... It's gonna get weird

[TridenT]

Alright, if I eat stuff with 'high fiber' I'm usually farting all fucking day. Maybe shitting too. They're not very productive shits. I feel like a fucking sheep. But who knows.

Does that ever fucking end or if you just eat a lot of fiber you're basically shittin' and fartin' all day everyday for the rest of your life? Maybe I'm doing confirmation bias on the shitting part, but I definitely increase my fart outtake!

TMI.

You might not be eating enough. There are formulas for recommended daily intake based on body weight and it's a lot more than you would think when you start reading labels.

I ate the fiber one bars... and my ass turned into a trumpet, it was nuts. I could have farted the Star Spangled Banner for the Super Bowl.

Some fiber isn't digested by your body, but it is processed by the bacteria that reside in your intestines. It's this digestion by the bacteria of the portion your body can't process that produces gas.

You can always try other types of high fiber that doesn't have this effect - for example eat some celery, apples, or other veggies, and you probably won't be farting like crazy but you'll still keep your system moving along.

Still a better lover story than twilight.

ROFL

Yeah, fiber causes gas (sometimes painful gas). Beano as show above works well. Also various OTC antigas liquids help. It settles down once you become used to it, but it's always there.

Perhaps you are eating the wrong kind of fiber.

What exactly are you eating?

I guarantee that is because of the chicory root. That screws a LOT of people up.

Maybe try reducing your intake? I was eating about 3 servings of ultra high fiber cereal in the morning and I felt about as you're describing. I changed my cereal to something that was slightly less and I'm perfect now and have regular and extremely satisfying shits.

So, this shit is about to get real?

:awe:

I actually posted a few years ago about Fiberone bars also causing me excessive flatulance. The weird thing was it was not instant, i ate them for months without issue but now i can have one and toot the star spangled banner as others have suggested. If you google fiber you will learn this is common and switching fiber will help. I still eat my oatmeal which is high in fiber without issue.

Try the gummy fiber supplements. I eat two every day and no gas. Pretty nice.

Without a fiber supplement I am in the bathroom all day.

Citrucel. No gas, great stuff.

Heh. I always referred to Fiber One Bars as "Weapons of Ass Destruction". They are brutal.

I buy the huge thing of unflavored, bulk forming fiber from Walmart. Make a fruit smoothie in the morning with 2 heaping spoons of that stuff in it. Its more than enough fiber to keep you regular and fill you up without all the nasty side effects of eating 4 pounds of lettuce a day.

Spend the 8 bucks. Its worth it.

490g of Fart! That's 6000% of your USDA recommended allowance!


I have tears in my eyes after reading that page, too funny

I burst out laughing at work

Crushed red peppers make me shit bad and it burns my asshole.

Other than that I eat tons of fiber and its nice to have it run through my system quick.

Some people lack posting inhibitions. Point proven.

I hate spicy poop caused by peppers. :thumbsdown:

It is no secret you have been on a high fiber diet, you have been spewing sh*t on this forum for quite a while.
