Oatmeal gives me gas.

[ticklemeelbow]

I love oatmeal, but it don't like me. Is there anything I can do to consume the oats without the excess flatulence? Thanks in advance.

Eat something that doesn't give you gas?

Have you tried the gastrointestinal anti-foaming agents? (Gas-X, etc..)

How do you prep it usually? Eat it with what?

Really? I love my oatmeal. Eat it like 4-5 times a week.

I do eat other stuff, but oatmeal is healthy and cheap. No I do not take nor have I ever had Gas-X.

Just cook it and mix a tiny bit of brown sugar.

I know this topic is like a week old, but i thought I would chime in...


I have the same problem. What works for me is to eat it normally and then eat some Greek yogurt or another form of yogurt with Probiatics immediately after. The yogurt seems to help with the digesting of the excess fiber.

I have the same problem with tacos, but I don't give a crap because tacos are tasty and screw my immediate surroundings.

oatmeal is the best carb and to me it doesn't give me gas unless with protein shakes.

[JayB1985]

You could try soaking them in water overnight. Do a google search. Im sure its something to do with an acid that causes the gas etc could be wrong

Eat potatoes instead of oatmeal.

I eat them as potato puree:

- 400 g potatoes
- 20g butter
- milk (depends on the texture you like)
- salt
- black pepper

Then to the food processor, and enjoy, awesome texture, creamy and very tasty, much more than oatmeal.

also potato is digestive, and contains no anti-nutrients or o6
