I'm not completely sure but I think dietary fiber is the combination of soluble and insoluble fiber. In other words the oatmeal has 3 grams total fiber consisting of 2 grams of soluble and 1 gram of insoluble. Soluble fiber foods are what we need to eat at every meal to cushion our tummies. Insoluble fiber foods are essential for good overall health, but must be eaten carefully along with soluble fiber. Since oatmeal is a combination of both, it's a really good choice for IBS'ers. It's one of my staples. I love it! -------------------- Laura Keep it simple!

I enjoy the recipe in heathers book Brown Rice with Vanilla Soy milk and a little honey. It tastes like oatmeal to me and it is delicious. fembeth Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: oatmeal       #111789 - 10/10/04 04:01 AM Edit Reply Quote shelley29 Reged: 08/25/04 Posts: 39 Loc: Northeast, USA Ditto for me... Once I started watching my diet, I was eating oatmeal at least once a day... I still try to eat it as often as possible & it's never bothered me... but everyone is different. My advice would be to give it a try and let your body tell you whether it likes it or not! -------------------- -shelley take it one day at a time.

I cannot eat oatmeal. To much insoluble fiber, I think. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
