Cereals (especially oat-based)

Hello,

I'm hoping that someone can give me some advice on suitable cereals for an IBS sufferer. I know that oatmeal's a good source of soluble fibre, but I'm confused about other oat cereals.

Rolled oats and oatmeal seem both to come from oat groats, both being whole grain cereals. Obviously oatmeal is on the list of safe foods, but I'm not sure whether rolled oats are also included, given that whole grain cereals are on the danger list. I presume that wholegrain oat cereals (like Oatibix) would be included in the insoluble fibre list, but in that case I don't quite understand why oatmeal's safe - unless it's to do with how much it's been ground down to start with.

And is any type of Quinoa OK?

Any help very gratefully received - I've found the cereal aisle in UK supermarkets very confusing!

Thanks,
Catherine

Oatmeal tends to be one of the safest whole grains...
