Do you mean the old fashioned rolled oats? And do you cook them on the stove-top, or just pour hot boiled water over a bowl of dry oats, and add soy milk, etc.
I love oatmeal, but I haven't tried it for this diet because of the possiblity of it making me worse.

I use the ones that are instant, they come in a box with individual packets. I just add water and put it in the microwave. My favorite have cinnamon in them for extra flavor!

Yep, old fashioned rolled oats. I buy Quaker or Shurfine (a regional store brand). I cook them with one cup of soy milk, not water. Because I fix my breakfast at work, I usually fix it in the microwave. It has a different texture if cooked on the stovetop at home.
Oatmeal is my breakfast at least 5 days a week. I started eating it to feel more stable in the morning. Now, I just REALLY like my oatmeal. 
Oatmeal is my buddy, but it doesn't work for all. Someone around here around here calls it outmeal instead. You will have to experiment a bit to find out if it works for you, not just with oatmeal, but with other foods too. Good luck.

Hmm okay. I have quaker plain rolled oats here, and I always used to just boil the kettle and pour the hot water over a bowl of dried oats. Woulf this be problematic?? Should I prepare them in a different way, would they be safer?? Ex: Stove-top.
The microwave is something I don't use often. I've never cooked oats in there before. Just milk and on high for a minute or two?
(I have the flavoured packets as well. The brown sugar ones are really good! But I wouldn't use them if I were just starting out on the diet. I would stick to plain at first. But they are safe, I'm pretty sure.)

I am curious.. any family or friends of mine who know I fight the IBS (C type) have recommended or talked about how oatmeal is the problem solver. Oatmeal makes them GO!!! I have tried it a couple of diff times but doesn't work for me.. have to give it up since it makes me worse?? I don't understand why is that?? If it is a soluble fiber why does it give me so much trouble. I am just really bummed that everything that seems to work for everyone else just won't work for me??? Am I ever going to find anything that works? I would like to know if anyone else has a similar finding on this?

Old Fashioned slow cooking Quaker Oats is healthier for you than the Instant oatmeal. The Instant oatmeal has already gone through some process and it turns into sugar quicker in your bloodstream than the slow cooking oatmeal. When there is a rapid rise in blood sugar, it causes inflammation, and that inflammation can cause problems with your skin and digestive track if you have an over abundance of yeast in your system.
