Because I don't have a problem with oatmeal, bananas or acacia, I tend to deny that other people really do. (sorry all) Like when men never get cold and can't accept when their daughters or wives are freezing! LOL.
Anyway I like your diet for the most part. Watch rice cakes for bad additives and rice krispies for HFCS. I would love to see you add well cooked frozen peas, slightly mashed up and mango. And you have no protein like you say, so add some egg whites or chicken breast or fish. Also add a little smart balance light or just a little fat - not much- but some will help move things along and that little bit will not trigger anything unless you are the most sensitive ever. I am talking 1T smart balance per day, 1t in each meal.
To test if oatmeal bothers you (my guess is that it doesn't) you can try another hot grain breakfast like corn grits or perhaps the Hot tasty Cereal by Bob's Red Mill, but I am not sure on the IF content of that. You could have hot white rice with sugar for breakfast too. I have that with acacia and rice milk occasionally. Make sure you are drinking a lot of fennel tea especially. Water is great too but something about the hot water really helps and the fennel works wonders for bloating. Stevia can be used instead of sugar.
I hope this advice is sound. I really try!
