Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) Oatmeal-trigger?       #338197 - 11/17/08 11:41 AM Edit Reply Quote Wendy1234 Reged: 02/06/08 Posts: 98 Anybody else find oatmeal causes pain? I've had a lot of cramping today. I had oatmeal for breakfast. Today is one of those frustrating days where I just want to pull my hair out. What do you normally eat for breakfast? I'm IBS-A, mainly C though. Thanks!

Some people can handle it without any problems other have difficulty. I have it every morning for breakfast. Some of the quick oatmeals have other ingredients which can cause problems. What type of oatmeal did you have? What did you have with your oatmeal? -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Oatmeal-trigger?       #338203 - 11/17/08 12:42 PM Edit Reply Quote Wendy1234 Reged: 02/06/08 Posts: 98 I had regular oatmeal with sugar. Although I did not cook it over the stove. I put very hot water in it and let it sit for a few minutes. So maybe not all of it was fully cooked. I usually eat grits (just with salt/pepper) for breakfast, but went with oatmeal today. I may go back to the grits.

If you use a microwave it says to heat uncovered on high power for 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 minutes, stir after 1 minute and let stand for a couple of minutes. I don't think just adding hot water to regular oatmeal like you do for instant oatmeal will cook it enough. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Oatmeal-trigger?       #338208 - 11/17/08 01:00 PM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Regular oatmeal is the type of hot breakfast oats that you can buy at Tesco or Sainsbury's. Read the ingredients and instructions. If the only ingredient is oats and the instructions say to cook in boiling water for 10-20 minutes then it is likely regular oatmeal. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Oatmeal-trigger?       #338209 - 11/17/08 01:01 PM Edit Reply Quote julieb123 Reged: 07/19/07 Posts: 728 Loc: uk liverpool what should my ingredents say rolled oats is that it i have that and i have ready break to dont not if its white or brown rice omg this is to hard -------------------- ibs c with trapped gas Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Oatmeal-trigger?       #338210 - 11/17/08 01:16 PM Edit Reply Quote ericai Reged: 11/09/08 Posts: 102 Loc: Nassau County, NY Check also to see if it says instant or quick cooking or 1 minute oatmeal. I've seen those key words on different packages and the instructions will say to boil for 1 min. Do you have the instructions on the box or the packet? -------------------- Erica IBS-D Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Oatmeal-trigger?       #338211 - 11/17/08 01:22 PM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Yes - rolled oats should be fine. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Oatmeal-trigger?       #338215 - 11/17/08 03:27 PM Edit Reply Quote emmasmom Reged: 09/22/06 Posts: 1710 Loc: ILL I can't do oatmeal horrible gas and gas cramps!

I put about 7tsps of Tummy Fiber in my oatmeal and mix it well. The soluble fiber counteracts any affects the IF will have. HTH! -------------------- IBS-C, Gas, Bloating, HURTING!

Oatmeal has always been one of those things that sometimes is OK, sometimes not. I really like it, so I miss having it. -------------------- IBS-A and GERD since 1983 Low FODMAP since 2012 Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all)
