Fibre one bars heard they ain't safe ?

[maymay6575]

I literally just had 3 bars today 😩 because they taste so good and heard they ain't good because they have chicory root that can cause miscarriage I'm 30 weeks and scared 😟

Watching with interest, I like these bars too. Does it say anything on the box or wrapper OP?

Nothing at all on the box I literally started to eat them because of the fibre to help me go toilet but they tasted soo good I had 3 😟

Try not to worry. I would think the amount of chicory is quite small.
I just looked on the website and I couldn’t see anything on there.
Could you contact them and ask?

Is this a serious post? Honestly I want to say ' don't be so silly' but instead I'll settle for ' you'll be fine. You'd be fine if you'd eaten a dozen'

Literally just texted my midwife just to make sure

I was doing slimming world through my last 2 pregnancies so are them all the time.

@FelicityFlamingo why wouldn't it be a serious post I'm concerned as when I searched it online I'm seeing it's not safe so what's not serious about this post ?

You can't miscarry at 30 weeks, are you worried about preterm birth? You would need a large amount of chicory, I imagine more than in the bars. If it was a huge, proven risk it would be included on NHS pregnancy dietary advice so I'm sure it will be fine

Because it's entirely bonkers! Honestly, read it back. It's a cake bar for goodness sake. Are you generally an anxious person?

Just did a search and found a pregnancy website that recommends them!

Of course, I have no idea if this is written by professionals... I imagine if there was an issue there would have to be a warning on the box. I bet there are a lot of foods containing chicory.
Hopefully your midwife will know.

Did my link work?

No idea about the chicory but I ate at least 2 a day for pretty much the whole of pregnancy 🙈🙈 I'm sure you will be fine x

@Magissa thanks for the link it doesn't mention chicory root

Thanks for your replies I guess I'm just over thinking as this baby is my rainbow so I'm overly worried

@maymay6575
If you go all the way to the bottom it has oat and choc fibre one bar.
Good luck with your pregnancy.
