Default Fiber pains

Lately I've started eating more fiber. Problem is, it gives me gas.
Bad. Anything I can take with it (other than drink water after eating
it) that can help? It's Kashi cereal and bars I'm eating, mostly.
Thanks.

If you are sensitive to fiber... it is usually best to work up the
amount gradually to let your body get used to it.

It may also help to lessen the amount of kashi bars and cereal, and
get some fiber through fresh veggies and fruit. Not that Kashi isn't
good stuff, but your body may not be used to it and it does tend to
provide a lot of fiber.

Sure. Buy the Beano tablets; they work. Building up is good advice. I
also eat a very high fiber diet and gas is no longer a problem. I
didn't really build up and the gas problem slowly went away after a
few months and I only took Beano a couple of times just to see if it
worked and it does. Can't you just take long walks with your dog? He/
she won't mind. The other trick is to handle it just like running a
red light. First you look left, then you look right, then behind
you....especially behind you...then let her rip if the coast is clear.

One thing that helps me is exercise. It helps release the gas, so
perhaps exercising on by yourself would be the best bet.

And drink lots and lots of water.

Some people are sensitive to certain fibers. Chicory Root Fiber
(inulin) is one fiber that I know some people have problems digesting.
You might adjust to the added fiber within a month or so or you might
want to try beano (digestive enzymes) or you might want to try different
forms of fiber.
