You could really be having problems with it- There are quite a few people on this board who have problems with oatmeal.
Don't think it is in your head- we hear enough of that from doctors and people who don't understand.
Feel better soon

especially if it was instnat oats- most have HFCS or dairy in them... I'm ok with a small amount of non instant oats, but pure buckwheat cereal- also supposed to be safe and what I grewup on makes me bloat!

I'm only okay with fine oatmeal (ie. instant oats WITHOUT any dairy or HFCS)...regular oat flakes make me sooo gassy!

Oatmeal gets me every time too -- I haven't tried the instant kind though.... Even some of the breads that have a whole lot of it in them will make me gassy.

I have been down the road and back with Doctors saying it is in your head- stop obsessing over your bowels- Think about something else- focus on something else- well this is a very big part of my life because I deal with the symtpoms every day- From the minute I wake up until the minute I go to bed. It has changed my life completely. I was always a person who could deal with just about anything life threw at me- well this got me- I personally was diagnosed with IBS-C but I have bm's every day faithfully- I have alot of cramping, and gas- ALOT! (the cramping I mean)- Gas I think sometimes I have more than "normal" persons.
Don't let people tell you it is in yor head- pain is nor imagined!~!!~!

You said you almost passed out from the Zelnorm- That is an odd side effect.
I went through 2 different courses of the Zelnorm and I don't think it did anything for me personally- nothing more than eating some more fruit and veggies wouldn't do.
It said it was supossed to help with pain also and I don't think it did anything for pain.
How long have you been on it and what tests did you have done?
