Yes it is. Although fig newtons don't have prunes, they have figs which react the same way in your body. The reason you have more gas and waste is because of the large amount of fiber in them. Fiber is a VERY good thing to have in your diet, for many reasons, but if the extra gas is worrisome or inconvenient, just take a gas pill also. You'll also find this effect with fruits and vegetables, and whole wheat breads.

Yes. Prunes will help clean you out. Cut down on eating the Fig Newtons. I know they are addicting because I have been down that road before.

Well, figs certainly would be the cause of the extra gas and waste, due to the nutritional value in them, namely the fibre level. What to do about it is either not eat them or deal with it, because you could definately use the cleanse. You should be eating around 25 grams of fibre each day for a healthy bowel, so incorporate other fibre options into your diet, along with the fig newtons. As for the gas, I recommend activated charcoal from the health store.

Figs have fiber in them, which always makes you go to the bathroom easier. If you eat a lot of them then yes it would give you gas. Cut back on them, or make sure you're drinking extra liquid to balance it out.

They are supposed to have figs in them. Hmmmm!!!! Better go get a package and look.
My guess is they have alot of fiber. So just don't eat as many. Or take some kind of anti gas medicine after eating them.
