thanks Syl,

I generally buy my oats from the health food store so they don't have nutritional information on the packet. The fibre content, here in the UK, varies from brand to brand. They also don't generally break the fibre into soluble/insoluble and only list total fibre.

A selection from the oats available in the supermarket includes (all per 100g):

The stoneground oatmeal contains 7.1g of fibre
The porridge oats contains 6.6g of fibre
The pinhead oats contain 4.2g of fibre

A different brand :
Rolled oats contain 9g (4g soluble, 5g insoluble)
Gluten free oats contain 1.3g of fibre

With the exception of the GF oats it seems the fibre content in the UK is much higher than that of those in Canada. As I can't tell which product contains the most favourable SF/IF ratio, do you reckon I'm best with the gluten free oats?
