Read More »Oatmeal is a super-versatile food that many of us love to eat for breakfast, a snack, or even as a savory side dish. And while it's a great whole grain offering, oatmeal can be a problem if you have stomach issues, especially individuals with certain gastrointestinal issues like irritable bowel disease. One cup of oats contains a little over 8 grams of fiber. "If you have a sensitive stomach, the fiber in the oatmeal may cause you to experience bloating and gas," says Roxana Ehsani, MS, RD, CSSD, LDN, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Media Spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. If you can't tolerate lots of fiber or other high fiber foods, it might be best to skip the oatmeal and instead choose a lower fiber grain option. "If a person is avoiding oatmeal due to its high fiber content and struggles to tolerate high fiber foods, they could choose cream of wheat, grits or white rice, which are all lower in fiber than oats," says Ehsani. And if you have celiac disease, be sure to look for gluten-free certified oats, as regular oats found in the cereal aisle may be contaminated with gluten, adds Ehsani. But ultimately, it's about what you're putting in your oatmeal that can lead to the biggest problems. (Related: The Unhealthiest Way to Prepare Oatmeal, According to a Dietitian.) "If you eat oatmeal and add sweetness like brown sugar, honey and/or maple syrup, you're increasing the amount of total calories and bumping up the total carbohydrates amount as well," says Ehsani. "[People] with pre-diabetes and diabetes may have to be cautious, as this may cause one's blood sugar to rise too high."

This story is part of the 2018 Feel Good Food Plan, our two-week mind-body-belly plan for starting the year off right. Oatmeal is one of the great "healthy" breakfasts for good reason: It's cheap, quick, and full of the nutrients you need to start the day off right. Unfortunately, oatmeal can also be super underwhelming. Nobody wants to eat the same thing every day, especially when it's a bowl of sorta-gluey beige mush. Luckily, it doesn't have to be that way. With the right choice in cooking liquid, plenty of toppings, and a bit of technique, oatmeal can be straight-up dreamy. Here are some of the BA staff's favorite ways to make oatmeal live up to its fullest, most delicious, potential. Soak your oats—even if it’s just on your way to work. Soaked oats cook faster and won’t boil over in the microwave as quickly. Use an unexpected, savory cooking liquid like chicken stock, vegan broth or dashi for a warming, umami-packed breakfast. Drizzle some of your morning chai into the oats (or use a premixed concentrate like Dona Chai) for nuanced, aromatic oats. Or, replace your usual cooking liquid with herbal tea for a perfumed flavor. Add other grains like millet, amaranth, and buckwheat for textural interest.
