I love oatmeal! But oatmeal and my gut don't get along. I had to stop eating it because of the discomfort it brought me as well as it causing things to move too quickly, if you know what I mean. I occasionally have a little, like less than once a year, and steel cut is the most tolerable for me. I actually tried to reintroduced it a few weeks ago. Not sure if that is the reason for my current GI issues but, I decided not to try it again.
