Oats (Rolled, Uncooked) and IBS: what to know
For breakfast, count the dry oats going into your own portion, including oats added through another ingredient or topping. Milk, fruit, nuts and sweeteners need their own portion checks. A green oat amount does not guarantee comfort for everyone with IBS or establish the rating of the entire bowl.
Gut-friendly ways to eat oats (rolled, uncooked)
Put a bowl on the scale, tare it, then add the dry oats before the liquid. For batch porridge, record the dry amount and divide the prepared batch deliberately between servings. Follow the packet's preparation instructions. If swapping to quick oats, use that guide rather than keeping the same allowance automatically.
