Oats have TONS of silica! Most grains actually have a substantial amount of silica. So does horsetail. Green veggies, especially spinach and watercress have lots of silica. Do a search and you'll find more info. on this. Generally the skins contain the most silica--i.e. the IF.

I WAS eating oatmeal every single morning, but it started giving me horrible gas!! So, I switched to cream of wheat and it's alot easier on my system. I guess it's a good thing that I got the supplement, then, huh?? If I am not eating my oatmeal anymore!! I was wondering why my nails and hair were growing out very nicely......my hair is halfway down my back, again, already. Dang it!!! I want to start eating oatmeal again, now!! Shoot!!!!!

Not necessarily--you say you've got great hair/nails.
I'm not an expert/professional--so I won't make recommendations. You sound like you already take tons of supplements.
P.S. The gas, etc., associated with eating oats daily caused you tons of distress, therefore why bring all that back into your life? That's the last thing you need!

That's true, I guess......oatmeal did really well for me for over a year and then my body just started rejecting it. So, I better stick with the cream of wheat or I will be in a world of hurtin'!!
Tummy's starting to churn!  Time to turn in!!
