I have tried to stay away from as much insoluble fiber as possible but would like to add oatmeal to my diet. Anyone have a problem with oatmeal and its fiber content. There are 2 grams soluble and 2 grams insoluble.

Yeah I know it has both, but I just thought you meant you wanted to stay away from insoluble , so was letting you know it was in there in case you didn't know. Sorry didn't mean anything wrong. Hugs!

Oh okay, I see what you was actually asking, for myself I never had a problem with oatmeal. I was wondering if anyone eats cream of wheat and if it's okay to eat with DD.

I have proper rolled oats almost every day (not the processed sachets of dust) and have never had a problem - in fact it actually seems to regulate my bowel movements. I do soak them overnight though. I either mix 40gm with 150ml fat free yogurt and chopped fresh fruit, and have it cold, or I mix 30 gm with 150ml cold water, 1 level dessert spoon skimmed milk powder, and 1/3 teaspoon stevia (artificial sweetener) and have it hot with a dash of cinammon and chopped fresh fruit. It's the cheapest form of oats and great for your cholesterol levels.

Thanks for your input. I have eaten the oatmeal two days in a row now and haven't had any issues, but I know it might take a day or two to hit the colon! I also soaked it in water and then cooked for 5 minutes. I also ground it up in a food processor just to see what that consistency would be like and it was OK.
