Can the fiber in this bar cause bloating or stomach discomfort? — Wafer Bar with Milk & Nut Paste SNAQWELL SNAQ FABRIQ, 20 g - Bombbar

The bar is described as high in fiber and contains corn fiber and oligofructose, a type of soluble fiber. For people who are not used to fiber-rich snacks, a sudden increase in fiber can cause bloating, gas, or generally uncomfortable digestion. That is a normal characteristic of concentrated fiber sources, not a specific defect of this product.

Start with one bar if you are trying it for the first time, and see how your body responds. Avoid eating several bars in one day just to get more fiber. The 20 g serving size makes it easier to keep the first trial small.

This is a snack, not a fiber supplement. It is not a substitute for vegetables, fruit, whole grains, or other natural fiber sources. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease. If you have a digestive condition, speak with your doctor or dietitian before adding fiber-rich products to your routine.
