A member asked:
I think the flax that is being added to cereal causes gas. what types of added fiber (in cereal or granola) doesn't cause gas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fiber is fiber: It is our inability to completely digest fiber that causes gas. If this is a major problem, you may want to consider lowering your daily fiber intake. It is a hit or miss issue.
