Hi everyone! its been forever since ive posted. have 2 kiddies now and during both pregnancies i could eat everything! so back to reality, need to accept that my IBS is back and worse then ever! i was testing it for a while to see if it was really back boy that hurt!

Old Fashion Quaker oats are safe for most people. They contain 2 gram soluble fiber and 2 gram insoluble fiber. Be careful of the Quaker quick oats as the sometime contain other ingredients that may be problematic.
Not sure about the squares. It will depend on what else they put in with the oatmeal. Do you have a link to the ingredients in the Oatmeal Squares?

Whole grain wheat is not safe.

I eat Quaker Oatmeal Squares with Silk Vanilla Soy Milk and a sliced banana. I have no problems.

Hi Maddie,
Thought I'd list a few other choices for you to look into so you're not stuck with just Chex cereals!
Panda Puffs (peanut butter taste)
Corn Pops (I can't eat these due to gluten, but Heather says they're a good choice)
Puffins cereals (there are 2 that are gluten free if you need that, and several other flavors that have gluten but are ok for IBS in general. These are made by Barbara's).
Rice Krispies (and they also just came out with a totally brown rice variety with no gluten...taste great to me!)
Koala Krisp (a chocolate crisped rice...this is by the same company that makes Panda Puffs- EnviroKidz)
Kix (not ok for me, but in Heather's book for regular IBS)
Honeycomb (again...not gluten free)
I hope this list helps! It's nice to know we have several cold cereals to try. They are such an everyday food for me. I never leave the house without a baggie of cereal in my purse. I've found I can really help limit my attacks by just making sure I have soluble fiber to munch on throughout the day. If I'm driving on a long trip I keep a pile where I can reach them (or Tostitos!). Sometimes I mix a few together for variety so it's more like a trail mix (maybe Panda Puffs and Puffins Multigrain...).
Good luck to you!!
