I don't care for cereal with milk so I bought this with the intent to make bars out of it with melted mini marshmallows (like rice krispy treats) and I added pecans and chocolate chips for added flavor since cereals like this can tend to taste like the box they came in.



I didn't think to try the cereal before I made the bars so I can't comment on the flavor but the bars are delicious so if you dislike the fiber cereal taste it might help to know that it's really good this way. There was four cups of cereal and I used one cup of pecans and a cup of chocolate chips with one bag of mini marshmallows.



Short back story: I ate fast food from a restaurant chain and got the worst food poisoning I've ever had. It took three weeks before I could eat anything without having sharp stomach pains. The only thing I was able to keep down was white carbs like rice, potatoes, etc. So that's three weeks with no fiber whatsoever. I tried all the usual "make you go" remedies with very little success.



A friend jokingly suggested this cereal to me. I will ABSOLUTELY pay twelve dollars to poop normally again so I ordered some.



It got here, I made the bars, and I had a small 2x2 inch piece because I didn't want to do the full 1/2 cup serving. It just seemed wise to start out slowly.



That was mid afternoon yesterday. Nothing of note happened all evening and I went to bed hoping that by morning things would be better.



I woke up at 2:30 am feeling crampy and very nauseous. Do keep in mind that I had three weeks of, er...backlog to get out of my system so this was to be expected. It's just not going to be terribly comfortable as that stuff is moving through your insides. It was pretty brutal and I didn't feel much like a champion for a while there, but I got through it and finally at 4:12 am I was able to go. Nothing violent. Just a normal "go".



I went back to bed and when I got up this morning I went again immediately which was nice. Again, nothing violent. Just blissfully normal and productive.



I found this cereal to be highly effective for me and I'm going to cut the rest of the pan of bars into one inch squares, keep them in the freezer, and just have one each morning with my coffee.
