Is there such as thing as stomach sensitivity to oatmeal?

Question

Why do I get "gassy" whenever I eat oatmeal?
I like eating oatmeal (with soy milk). I know I am lactose-intolerant, so I use soy milk which doesnt make my stomach react. But no matter what I do, I still get acidic and gassy when I eat oatmeal!
Why is that?

Answer 1

There is obviously something in the oatmeal which is bothering your stomach. If you are eating the instant kind, it may be the preservatives. Try eating the cooked kind. If that doesn't work, stop eating it altogether.

Answer 2

you know, i think there IS something oatmeal that causes that kind of thing; my husband and i have experienced the same thing. i think it gets less the more regularly you eat it. like me, i almost never eat it, so when i do i get an immediate attack of cramps but my husband eats it all the time now and it doesn't bother him anymore. we also use soy milk or lactose-free milk.

Answer 3

Oatmeal is very high in fiber. You do need to drink more water and exercise more to keep it moving and prevent the bloating that you can get with fiber. But...fiber is GOOD for you, so try to keep it up and do what you can to eat fiber...if oatmeal is hard to digest, try a different type of whole grain, like the Kashi cereal or something.
