Oatmeal is one of those odd foods - like brown rice and cornmeal - that's part Soluble Fiber and part Insoluble Fiber. In fact, oatmeal is 50/50. Some IBSers find it very soothing and love to start their day with it. I find it troublesome - it makes my tummy go bloop-bloop-bloop. If I eat cereal, I stick with Rice Chex and Corn Pops.

Here's an old post where AtomicRose talks about instant versus regular oatmeal. If you have your heart set on oatmeal, you could try eating just one packet at a time and try her suggestion of adding a banana to boost the SF. Also, as she says, check the other ingredients - some of the flavored oatmeals can be trouble.
