A member asked:
Does anyone know of a fiber supplement that does not cause excess gas? i struggle a lot with irritable bowel syndrome.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most do, because...: Some of the fiber is not digested, but fermented by bacteria that normally live in the gut..Insoluble fiber, like in wheat bran, may be less gassy than soluble fiber, like in oats. Other products such as polyethylene glycol, miralax, may be less gassy.
