I have used Quaker brand 'Quick.' It doesn't come in individual packets, but in one bag. It says on the bag that it cooks in 3 to 4 minutes.
Maybe that is the problem with oatmeal. People are simply purchasing the wrong types.

Hmmm, that's too bad. For how long did you try using them. I'd say if you tried it for a month or two, there's no use trying it again.

Hi Alli,
For me I use the Quaker Quick Oats,because I cook in Microwave. it might be a different texture than what your'e used to,but it's easier for me this way. I use 1/2 cup of oats,and 1 cup of water,in a microwave safe dish,with a cover (loose so it doesn't fly all over the place) for 165 seconds,then I put some applesuace on top for flavor. You can start with 1/3 Oats,and 2/3 water if you want. I can't have eggs or any dairy so this is very helthy and nutritious. Hope you like it. The flavored oatmeal packets are full of salt/sugar....bad. So have Good Day!

Yes, I believe I have the same kind. The quick oats, they come on one bag. Maybe the stove or microwave would be better then just boiled water. But I think I'm going to switch to the old fashioned brand of rolled oats. Would that even make a difference? Anyway, thanks for your reply.

I think you should try the old fashioned 10-15 minutes oats. The less processing your food goes through in manufacturing, the healthier it is for you. You have nothing to lose by trying it. If you find it doesn't work for you, you can always go back to the quick oats. Good luck Alli.

Yes, I think I will. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Now I have a new hope for oatmeal! I really do miss it. Thanks again.

I love old fashioned oats too, not so mushy as the quick oates!! There is so much you can do with oatmeal...I cook it on top of the stove with vanilla soy milk, sometimes add peaches and cinnamon, other times I'll add banana (thanks to an Idea from Kree) and a little chopped pecans. Sometimes I'll add pure maple syrup instead of brown sugar for flavor...Try yogurt (soy) mixed in it too (mmmm...good).

because it is more processed. For some folks who aren't stable or who have really bad D, the IF in oatmeal (which is about equal to the amount of) SFcan be too much. Here are some previous board discussions about that:
About oatmeal
About oatmeal 2
Oatmeal Poll
I also eat Quaker Instant Oatmeal (original/plain and Cinnamon Roll), which come in the individual packets. Sometimes I add walnuts before I microwave it; the walnuts are so good with the Cinnamon Roll flavor! 
I think most oatmeal is safe for most people with IBS as long as you watch out for added dairy, HFCS, and sugar substitutes (sorbitol etc).
