Poop Like A Champion Ultra High Fiber Cereal - Non GMO - Fiber Supplement - Corn Bran | Breakfast Essentials with Soluble Fiber, Insoluble Fiber & Psyllium Husk Powder

I forgot this was this type of cereal. I was craving cereal and made me a regular bowl... BOY did I make a mistake! Later on, I had forgotten I had eaten it or did not believe it would affect me: once on the toilet, I had to flush because that toilet bowl was FULL! It was the type of trip that leaves you wondering what did you eat earlier because the sounds, odors, and substance made me feel like I was in someone else's bathroom or a truck stop, 😂. My tail felt like I had blown a clogged gasket, but I was glad it was over. Day 2: I did not eat any of that cereal and thought "it was over yesterday". NO SIREE BOB! So there I was, at work, hearing rumble and grumble in my stomach. Now, I had taken pre-workout and hit the gym, and had a light breakfast before work. Suddenly, I had a strong urge to use the restroom, but I DO NOT do #2 at work unless it's a red alert, shooting the flare gun, emergency. So because of my policy, I brushed off the sensation. BUT LET ME TELL YOU, it came back a-knocking with a vengeance! On the drive home was when it hit me, and I am so glad that I was sitting down. Living on the 5th floor, I had never been so ready to not say hello to people as I passed them and wanted this slow elevator to hurry up. Thank God there was only one person on the elevator that needed to get off because I was reaching critical mass - car seat belts save lives and as did the belt I had around my waist! Upon stepping off the elevator, I looked at the floor the whole time as I took each step, ensuring that my subconscious did not think I was already home so that my bowels would start trying to release in the hallways 😖... That would have been a mess!!! Made it into my apartment and did a controlled and delicate preparation to get to the toilet (carefully removing my boots, jacket, I got the help release for last!). When I say that I think my insides are cleaned out, it feels like there was suctioning from the toilet to pull everything out of my body, 😂😂😂. Although I ate solid food, you couldn't tell! I was having flashbacks of prepping for a colonoscopy... It feels like my body temperature dropped! I vacated so much of whatever it was that I needed to take a nap after this 😴. All that to say, the cereal has fiber in it - AND IT REALLY WORKS! I did not have any issues with constipation or my bowels, I use the restroom regularly, but bought the cereal because it seemed healthy. By the way, there was no pain associated with any of my ordeal. I will definitely be careful the next time I make me a bowl of this. I will probably have a very small amount once a week. This first experience was pretty memorable, if you know what I mean!

First of all, I would like to thank the manufacturers for giving this product such a provocative name, it got me to try their cereal. Other reviewers made it sound like the taste or texture would be questionable. I did not find that to be the case. It is crazy high in dietary fiber. I used a food scale and measured out 30 grams. Do not consume more than one serving in the morning. The cereal is very crunchy - I liked the texture and not too sweet. Predominant flavor is corn which is probably why it reminds me of a less sweet version of KIX. Someone referenced the cereal’s shape as reminding them of pet kibble like something you’d feed a domesticated rodent. They’re actually little puffed stars. More than one reviewer suggested ways to “dress up” the cereal so I expected it would be terrible and really need something to dress it up. It doesn’t. It is quite crispy so it takes a long time to turn to mush in milk - it does not go soggy. Anticipating it would be terrible, I came up with a variation recommended by another reviewer: • 2 tablespoons of pistachio paste (pistachio paste made from 100% pistachios - the paste has salt added - you want that. • Dark, bitter sweet, semisweet chocolate chips - about half the volume of the cereal, approximately 1/4 of a cup of chocolate chips. • 4 to six ounces of whole milk. Measure 30 to 33 grams of cereal into a bowl. Pistachio paste is pretty stick gooey stuff. I used an OXO good grips tablespoon with a leveler. I stirred the pistachio paste with a regular small spoon to mix it. Use the tablespoon and the leveler and a small spoon and measure out two tablespoons of pistachio paste into the cereal. I used the leveler and the small spoon to scrape the pistachio paste out of the tablespoon. Using a small spoon throughly stir the pistachio paste into the cereal until it is evenly mixed. Next mix in the bitter sweet/semi sweet chocolate chips. Lastly, pour in 4 to 6 ounces of whole milk. This is really delicious. That said, the cereal itself is quite good, so honestly some milk, or some milk and some fruit is sufficient. It really doesn’t need dressing up. Drink plenty of water. Like lots of it when having the cereal and throughout the day. The cereal is crazy full of fiber. So if you have it and have plenty of water, it will be highly effective. This cereal puts a lot of fiber in you colon, so to quote another reviewer, it could be called, “poop like an elephant.” It does contain inulin. Inulin is natural, but it is a FODMAP. Not everyone digests FODMAPs. Recommendations: 1. If your diet is really too low in dietary fiber, the first week or so have half a serving each morning (15 grams). It won’t be enough food so have something else to round up your breakfast in addition to the cereal. 2. Drink plenty of water when having the cereal and throughout the day. 3. Do not have more than one serving of the cereal in the morning or in the evening. The box contains approximately 7.5 servings of cereal. It is a little expensive compared to other cereals.

I found this cereal a bit difficult to eat. The original flavor was kind of neutral and quite unremarkable. Going by the serving size I ended up taking small mouthfuls dry by spoon and while chewing, sipped from my coffee to moisten what I was chewing enough to be able to swallow. It did draw all the moisture out of my mouth. Once wetted, it does expand a bit. So, as I said, a bit difficult. However, I did want to give this a try and by taking the recommended serving size it did produce the desired outcome. I liked the cinnamon flavor much better and was a easier to eat but it did have more sugar included. Not convinced on the value for the money so dropping the price a few bucks would be my recommendation to the producer. Its not cheap! I am currently on my third out of four boxes and will decide after that if I will continue or look for more desirable product at a better price. Overall, its difficult but effective.

Some backstory first. A few weeks ago, while listening to to, and participating in the chat of, the Toxic Masculinity radio show on KLRN (there's your plug, Grouchy!), the topic turned to this cereal, Poop Like a Champion. Now, pooping like a champion is not the only topic we talk about. For example, sometimes we speak of pooping like a mere also-ran. But I digress, on with my review. Naturally, I had to try a box, and, thanks to Prime, I was clutching mine only two days later. The next morning I opened it, and was greeted with an, um, quite agricultural aroma. It smelled like animal feed, to be honest. But, having spent $12 on a box of cereal, I decided to push on. Pouring myself a bowl, I added a bit of milk, and tasted my first ever spoonful that would hopefully lead me to the pooping hall of fame. Much to my surprise, based upon the aroma, it didn't taste awful. However, it didn't taste good, either. In fact, it has almost no flavor, whatsoever. A day later, the first, err, test results were in. It works as advertised. Admittedly, I had been on a bit of a binge on unhealthy food in the recent past, so the help was welcome. By the time I had finished the box, everything was back to normal, and I can give Poop Like a Champion a coveted One Flush Award. (Lower is better, in this award system.) In short, smelled awful, tasted meh, costs quite a bit for a single box, but does work as advertised. Would flush, err, buy again, if the cost would come down a bit.

Love this as an afternoon snack with Smart fiber cereal. Pair with soy milk or pea milk for extra fiber and protein

I'm only giving 4 stars because this really is expensive cereal for each serving size. Only 7.5 servings come in the box so it would be nice if that could be adjusted. BUT that set aside, this cereal has helped me SOOO much! I have Hashimoto's (an autoimmune disorder) which messes up thyroid function and makes your whole body malfunction, but it also slows your digestive system WAY down. On top of that, one of the best things you can do with Hashi's is cut gluten out of your diet. It works, but you're also missing out on quite a bit of fiber. I love that this cereal is gluten free and loaded with the correct types/portions of fiber. I started out with a 1/2 serving (1/4 cup) because I didn't know how my body would react, and nothing happened. The next day I did a full serving and still nothing. After 3-4 days of doing 1 serving a day....finally, my colon world was right once again :) Nothing crazy, didn't have to run to the bathroom. But as of today (after a week of eating this), I am incredibly regular. I have not been regular for 4 years now y'all. Life changing! It tastes good overall. I eat it with a bit of almond milk every morning. Don't go beyond the 1/2 cup serving size. Take it easy and let your body do it's thing! It's not a laxative, it's fiber that your body needs and will need a minute to readjust and process! My belly bloat has greatly decreased and I'm also retaining less water in my body. If you need more fiber, try this out, you won't regret it!

This cereal is amazing! I suffer from a fissure and the pain can be pretty excruciating. The only way I am going to get this healed is by eating this cereal. Previously I had been eating a lot of fiber, but I believe it was the wrong mixture of soluble and insoluble fiber. Fiber was actually causing me problems with conditions the opposite of this cereal’s goal. Since beginning this cereal I believe I may actually be healing my fissure because the pain is no longer “off the scale”. Be careful and weigh your portions though..This cereal has A LOT OF FIBER in each serving. One serving will look like it wouldn’t feed a field mouse, but be warned, filling your bowl to chow down on this would be a huge mistake!! No kidding!! 1 serving goes a long way! For me personally (male, 59, 5’11”, 235. lbs) 45 grams weighed on a digital scale was the correct portion size for ME. If you have OIC or any other issues with constipation, this cereal although expensive and tastes like paper may make you feel better and potentially save you a surgery (like me). Not being constipated has reduced my anxiety as well. Always drink 64 ounces of water per day and always consult your physician if you have questions. I am not a doctor and am not making medical recommendations. Individual results will probably be different from everyone else. Thanks for reading my review! :-)

So...just thought I'd add my experience here after having eaten a whole box of this stuff. For background, I'm an average male in about every way you can think of...not much deviation from any mean. I haven't been having any poop issues really. Not that I'd be aware of in any case. I bought this on a whim...just to see "what it would do." My diet is probably, as most things are about me, pretty average, if one presumes that a lot of Americans eat a lot of crap. I tend to not eat breakfast much, will likely eat a frozen pizza for lunch, and then maybe will have something "decent" for dinner...along with whatever snacks and junk food most average people eat. So, having said that, here's the deal with this stuff: it does taste like stale cardboard. And to the manufacturer's credit, they point out that it's not supposed to taste good. So that checks out. I ate it either mixed with some other cereal that did have flavor, or with yogurt. In any case...you're not likely to want to eat it by itself, and I don't think there's much reason to worry about the fact that it tastes like stale cardboard. I started off with the recommended "dosage" of 1/2 cup. And with lots of water. Didn't notice any discernable effect. Bumped it up to one cup. Still...can't say as I noticed anything. When there was maybe 1 1/2 cups left, I just ate all of that at once with some yogurt. Without worrying about any extra water. And...nothing out of the ordinary occurred. There are plenty of people here talking about having catasstrophes after eating even just the 1/2 cup of this stuff. Well...I don't doubt that that occurred to them, but that certainly wasn't my experience. Maybe they were really "blocked up" to begin with and this stuff really did breach the dam. Maybe I'm already getting all the fiber that I could possibly need...which, to be honest, would be surprising to me, since I certainly make no effort to get any fiber in any way. I guess the moral of the story, as noted in the title, is that there's probably just huge differences from one person to the next - like how some people can try to live on kale and water and get fat, while others can eat Big Macs all day long and stay skinny. Lifestyle (I sit on my butt in a computer chair all day) of course is a factor I reckon, whatever, so on and so forth. Maybe this stuff will give you a miraculous, butt-moving experience. Maybe it will cause you to blow a hole in your toilet. Or, maybe, it won't make any difference at all. So...I guess try it if you want. But probably best not to have any specific expectation as to what's going to happen...just sit back and wait. As they say...poop happens.
