Fiber 35 Diet Fiber Chews Rich Chocolate - 60 Wafers

Ok, knew these were not going to be the greatest. Talking about fiber here. I purchased the chocolate, thinking it would help. Well not really. They left a really weird after taste and really hard to choke down. I tried eating one at a time and drink a lot of water to rinse my mouth out before I ate the other. Than I tried eating two at the same time just to get it over with...bad idea. It got to the point that just looking at them turned my stomach. Won't be buying these again. I will try the sprinkle fiber, that way it will be mixed in with my food and easier to eat. Not going to give it a one star because it is fiber and a good way to get more in your diet. However, not more than two stars just because for me they were hard to choke down.

My gi doctor was trying hard to get me to get 40 grams of fiber a day. Doing this with straight diet while possible didn't leave much room for busy days where I don't survive on beans and lentils. I tried about 6 or so different fiber supplements from grainy drinks, to pills, gummies and these. Pills you have to take a ton to get any result, the drinks can get you what you need easily but are hard to swallow, Gummies did weird things to my insides, but these were the sweet spot. Tasty enough, worked like normal dietary fiber (at least in me), and I could easily get my daily dose of fiber with minimal effort.Pros: No grainy drink to swallow Acted like normal fiber (no weird stuff going on with my insides) Can easily get your dosages inCons: The flavor is an acquired taste.

So I've been reading up on FODMAPs which is some new theory about foods that trigger IBS. It concerns fermentable carbohydrates, which they can measure in food. Supposedly, if you reduce the FODMAPs you will feel better. FODMAPs are very weird. Cantaloupe is okay but watermelon is bad, things like that. It's not real logical, but there is actual science to back it up.Apparently, xylitol is high in FODMAPs. It's one of the things you want to avoid. There are competing products without the xylitol. I suggest you try one of those.Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and I don't know if any of this is true. Check it out for yourself.

I will most likely not purchase this item again. The wafers are very powdery and have an odd texture too. Overall, the wafers are a good healthy option to add additional fiber to your diet, but there are better alternatives than to stomach chewing these wafers.

I thought these would be so good - they are marketed so well. I really didn't like them (not to say somebody else wouldn't love them - it's a matter of personal taste). The texture was chalky and had a weird chewy feel. I ate 3 of them and threw the rest in the trash. That's how much I didn't like them.The idea of being able to just pop a couple of "chews" and get more fiber is a great concept. Too bad they didn't taste good to me.

I love this product, and use it every single day. I chew two tablets, three times a day, with a half-liter bottle of water per dose, and they help my IBS sooooooooooooooo much. I find them very pleasant-tasting, and I don't find them chalky, at all, but then that's never been a thing that's bothered me about an item. This is a very good price, here at amazon, and since our Vitamin Shoppe will no longer be carrying them in-store, I will now be ordering them here, thru amazon. If you have IBS, try these... they are fabulous.

I have found wonderful products on-line. This is not one of those times. I would call this chew "Chalk Flavor" and not "Chocolate Flavor". I was completely disappointed in the taste. I'm not sure if the product actually does what it is supposed to do because I finally threw the bottle out. I tried it 3 different times with the taste getting worse each time. Buyer beware.

Easy way to add more fiber to your diet. Mild chocolate flavor and handy to take along during the day to have with meals or when you have a snack.
