I have old fashioned rolled oats for breakfast every morning. I love it  and it's probably my safest food, actually. I cook it with applesauce for about 2-3 mins in the microwave and add lots of cinnamon. I just prefer the rolled oats to quick cooking or instant oatmeal because it's less mushy.
That said, not everyone can tolerate oats. I think it can be gas-forming and bloating for some people - it IS a whole grain, and while it contains *a lot* of SF for a whole grain (about 50/50 IF/SF I think), it still has IF. So it depends on your tolerance for whole grains, IF and potentially gas-forming foods I think.

I HATE oatmeal! It's GROSS and DISGUSTING!
Okay, that felt good.
Now, having vented, I gotta say, when I'm having an attack, that's what hubby alway fixes for me -- Quaker Instant Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal -- and it really seems to help! I have to psych myself out as I'm eating it -- you know -- "Snickers Bar... Snickers Bar.... Snickers Bar......" -- 'cause if I focused on the look and texture of what I was putting my mouth, I'd puke.

I second that sentiment, Meep.
Oatmeat--gag me. Tried it--nearly gagged. It will never appear on my menu, again. Had to put it in the donation box.

Hi there. I eat Quaker instant Maple Brown Sugar oatmeal as part of my breakfast every morning. It's wonderful. Not too much sugar, just enough calories, enough fiber. I have oatmeal and a pear or an apple every morning. My tummy likes it. I've tried the real cooking kind of oatmeal, but I don't like the texture. Me, I just use plain water, not milk. I tried adding soy milk once and thought it was gross.

I buy it at Whole Foods, Wild Oatss, and nearly every HFS carries it. The only one I've ever seen is the one made by Ancient Harvest.
