Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) How do you eat your oatmeal? :) :) :) :) :)       #314881 - 09/12/07 10:11 AM Edit Reply Quote TATYANA Reged: 07/22/07 Posts: 370 Loc: Washington, Seattle I am running out of ideas on how to eat my oatmeal. When my IBS are flaring up, that is one of the safest foods to eat for me. I eat it with: 1. soy butter, salt, pepper 2. brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins 3. some sort of fruit Any other ideas? -------------------- IBS-C since 2006. No signs of IBS now, it's been 4 yrs.

Since both of those are now off my O.K. list, if I keep my oatmeal thicker and then top it with 4 oz of Soy yogurt it gives my mouth a similar experience. I also enjoy the contrast of the hot oatmeal and the cold yogurt.

That is after I've given them a whirl or two in the food processor to chop 'em up. -------------------- Wendy IBS A thru Z Taking it one day at a time...

Once in awhile, I stir in a banana instead.

If I prepare plain, traditional oatmeal (no milk), I will add some Fruit Loops to it! I don't think a lot of people would like that though. But I enjoy the crunchy with the mushy.

My favorite is raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, and some stevia. It's also good with a little applesauce and cinnamon (or pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice). Another yummy one is sliced or mashed banana (cinnamon works here too). Sometimes I will add some blueberries or raspberries (frozen, but slightly thawed) with a little vanilla extract. You could try going to http://www.recipezaar.com and doing a search for oatmeal for more ideas. -------------------- Lisa IBS-A, Interstitial Cystitis, Migraines Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: How do you eat your oatmeal? :) :) :) :) :)       #315081 - 09/15/07 11:11 PM Edit Reply Quote Sommer Reged: 02/09/04 Posts: 283 Loc: Phoenix, Arizona USA Well, I'm trying out a few different kinds. My favorite so far is this recipe I found on Recipezaar.com. Let me go grab up the link. *Grin* Kree posted it on Recipezaar.com and she states in the recipe description that she got it from VegWeb. I posted a review of it, too, it's the one from 'blancpage'. Here's the link for Pineapple Oatmeal: http://www.recipezaar.com/68832 ALso, I haven't tried these recipes yet, but I found other ways to eat oatmeal. Appleaauce Oatmeal http://www.recipezaar.com/17006 Oatmeal cooked in a Rice Cooker http://www.recipezaar.com/86820 Marcia's Oatmeal http://www.recipezaar.com/31145 Nutty Oatmeal Raisin Chews http://www.recipezaar.com/18252 Baked Oatmeal http://www.recipezaar.com/25630 Oatmeal Soup (substitute with soy milk or other milk sub) http://www.recipezaar.com/12023 Addicted to Porridge http://www.recipezaar.com/40050 Oatmeal Muffins http://www.recipezaar.com/947 (use an egg substitute and a buttermilk sub - like Soy Buttermilk posted by Kree http://www.recipezaar.com/69466) Otherwise, my standby oatmeal usually includes cinnamon, brown sugar, raisins or other dried fruit, and some Silk Unsweetened Soy Milk.

It is a packet of Quaker brand Simple Harvest Instant Multigrain Hot Cereal. The flavor in this sample is Maple Brown Sugar with Pecans (sounds yummy!) and the ingredients sound fine, too. Whole grain rolled oats, whole grain rolled wheat, rolled barley, whole grain rolled rye, sugar, pecans, whole flaxseed, oat flour, natural flavors, salt, molasses. Contains wheat and pecan ingredients. Can be made with water or milk (or milk substitute). Fat grams per pouch is 3.5 (Sat 0.5, Trans Fat 0, Polyunsat 1, monounsat 1.5). I thought about buying some, they were on sale at my Fry's grocery store (Kroger's) for $2 or $2.50 per box but I decided to wait since I hadn't tried the sample yet and didn't know if I'd like it. Usually those ingredients don't bother me, and the flavor sounds great. With normal instant oatmeal, my favorite is usually maple and brown sugar or apple cinnamon. -------------------- XOXO from lil' ol' me.

I've tried all the flavors and I usually enjoy soy yogurt as often as I can afford to (even when I'm not taking antibiotics) now I will have to try it on oatmeal! Thanks for the idea! -------------------- XOXO from lil' ol' me.

Instant D! I know whole wheat bothers a lot of IBSers too. But maybe a small serving with a good hunk of white bread or an SFS beforehand would be okay for some IBS-Cers?

Maria! (I love that name), you are very correct. About 1-3 times a week I sneak in some IF. But I have to be careful too, or I get cramps, knotted, twisting cramps. Like I really like Malt O' Meal hot cereal, Maple and Brown Sugar, but I have to be careful with that, too. Hmm, I suppose adding a dosage of Acacia would help in these situations? -------------------- XOXO from lil' ol' me.

As Heather says "please do eat it!" Yes acacia fiber with your food works great. I believe Heather has said she carries fiber pills for eating out or in tough situations. I always have my fiber with breakfast and so I could handle something like simple harvest or a grainier cereal. It is always best to go with the easier to digest IF like oats rather than the hard like wheat. -------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages: "You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
