Is it just me...

or is this the fartiest cereal that ever existed?

i love this cereal. it's like a healthier version of honey smacks. it tastes great and has perfect texture. but, this cereal unforunately (for jorge) has a violent reaction with my intestines.

what i want to know is if this happens to anyone else. so if you are so bold, take the challenge and go buy a box of this. eat a bowl of it and then wait a few hours. then let me know if you end up a bloated, stinky mess.

Maybe it's like beans and rice and fresh veggies. If you're not used to eating it, the fiber can make you all farty. The farty goes away once your body gets used to it though. Maybe keep eating the cereal and see if the farts go away.

no, i eat this cereal all the time. and the farty never goes away. never :(

It's the flax seeds, I think. They tend to make the intestinal track a bit, um, active.

Beth!!! Aloha!
Here, is two my stories on this topic:


Never don't eat all food in wrong succession
Sour cream with fried zucchini

This I say to you, on his own yesterday's experiment.
Half day, I sat in the toilet and I thought that- not bad
to put a TV, there.


Toilet paper
A very long time, We don't have toilet paper but we have
found a new way, how wipe ...
Newspaper. It is more rigid than normal toilet paper. Actually, I would
like to talk about . With what a piece of paper,
you are like to wipe? I was very angry when my toilet paper was tearing
and my finger falls into the Black hole. I prefer a more dense material.
With it you can feel yourself more confident.



I have a question - what is unFARTunately???

I would've paid money to read what Jenea just said.

I like to eat those Fiber One fiber bars with my morning coffee. I spend all afternoon bustin' ass.

It's just all the bacteria in your guts burping after digesting all that fiber for you. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I'm super glad I work in an office by myself though. :-)

(Not sure I'm ready to get all hard core and trade my TP for newspaper though.)

I have been eating Malt O Meal's Raisin Bran and i am afraid that it is going to kill me, from all this farting. I am pretty sure that my body needs at least some farts to sustain itself, but this cereal is expelling all of my supply.

Patty said...

I eat this cereal every other day and have never noticed a farting issue... although I eat a lot of fiber in general. Weird.

Have you tried Beano? I mean, it would suck to have to take a pill just to eat your cereal, but maybe it would help.

Lizzers said...

I couldn't agree more. It even produces the painful gas twinge. But I still love you, Kashi.

visitor said...

i agree with jocelyn.... you haven't experienced gas until you've eaten fiber one bars (eat a few if you dare, and see what happens!). they are now called 'farty one bars' there is a whole website about it. they're dangerous!

Justin Shady said...

I've never had this, but you're making me want to run out right now, buy a box, and eat the whole thing before Kathy gets home from work.

Try Kashi U with walnuts and black currants. So yummy, and not quite so fart inducing. And I have to agree on the Fiber One bars...those things should be illegal.

dreamer124 said...

Does it make you just Fart or do you actually have "movements" from the all the fiber as well? Cause if you don't have movements from it is it really worth all the farting?

The Ferber Family said...

ME TOO! what's up with that?!

Fiber One bars...my rommate and I call them Farty Bars - but even though we're in Hawaii now we're from Boston originally so it's said as Faaahty Baaaahs. As for the GoLean Crunch - it's a stinky cereal for sure. I like Kashi's Honey Sunshine the best.

Christi said...

Wow, that is too funny. And accurate also. My husband bought a box of it and complained about being farty after eating it!

Denise said...

I think you're just your brother's sister. I've experienced his "morning glories" . . .

Hans said...

Yes and yes.

OH MY GOD! this is so far after your OP! but it's late and i'm bored and dicking around on the interwebs! i love this cereal! it is delicious and healthy! and it is so painfully tooty that i don't even buy it any more! every now and then, my husband says, "i like that one crunch cereal...why don't we get that any more?" and rather than repeatedly remind him of how very much it makes me drop ass, i bring up videos of, like, kittens falling asleep, or something, to distract him. AND I TAKE BEANO! AND i tend to eat a reasonable amount of veg/grains/fiber!

i feel so tootily validated right now. thank you.
