I can only find steel-cut oats in health-food stores. If you have a really good grocery store, you might be able to find them there. The package will definitely say "steel-cut oats" on them, and the oats pictured will look more like pebbles than the oats we're used to seeing. I found out the hard way that "Scottish oats" are not the same thing. LOL
To cook steel-cut oats in the Crockpot, combine 2 1/2 cups water, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 cup oats. Cover and let cook on low overnight. That's it.  That makes 2 servings.

SO what is the difference between them and Scottish oats? I noticed these in the Bob Red Mill section. Look about the same.

Careful! Lactose free does not necessarily mean it's safe for ibs. You have to be careful with other milk proteins (like casein) too.

Well, in order to have something that "stays with you" you're going to need a big source of protein so my best suggestion to you would honestly be egg beaters and turkey bacon and some toast. Egg beaters cook extremely fast and the bacon does too in about 8 minutes. Honestly, I understand your frustration about not wanting to cook in the morning. I never even used to eat breakfast period but since I have been taking the time (15 minutes tops) I have noticed a real difference. You might also considered some kind of soy protein powder. I see them in the stores frequently but have not tried it. Best of luck!

Well, the Scottish oats that I got when I was in NY - not Bob's brand, mind you - were basically just thick rolled oats. So if the Bob's Scottish oats looked like little hard pebbles and not like normal oatmeal, then they were indeed steel-cut.

My routine is :
Wake up and take my juice with guar gum fiber and my supplments (a probiotic and ginseng )
then in a little while (say after the shower):
1 serving cream of rice cereal with soy milk and a little brown sugar. (cooks up super fast but warm going down and fills me up)
On the weekends when there is more time or the boyfriend is cooking:
French toast with egg beaters/egg whites
Egg beaters, turkey bacon and toast
I think especially in the morning it is important to remember to take it slow with your eating. It's the first food that's hitting your gut for the day so you want to make sure you take it easy.

Well here in Spain all I can find to eat is white bread. I'm getting FAT!...
LOL, but I refuse to feel guilty about it, since I'm having to eliminate other things. I hadn't realized it, but there is a world of yummy white breads out there... I enjoy making my own, too, when time permits. I'm going to hold firmly to the idea that it all works out even in the end.

Whole Foods has them in their bulk section. Check their website or give your local store a call to be sure! YUM!
