This may be true if a person suffers from the effects of unhealthy gut flora. I eat a very high fiber diet every day and I also do not have any problems with energy levels on long rides, nor do I experience excessive gas of digestion problems.
Co-incidentally, I do not consume gels or sugary drinks.
