Fiber, not fiber

by General Specific <brad_pitstain@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 14, 2008 at 04:37 AM

Why is it that certain types of fiber cause so much gas?

I can eat 5 grams of fiber in a bowl of Wheatina and I'm fine.  if
instead I took a chewable fiber tablet which has 3 grams, I am tooting
all day.

The cereal "Go Lean Crunch" is terrible as well.  My GF ate some and
was gassy all day, so it's not just me.

So, what is the Straight Dope?  Why does certain types of fiber give
me gas.
