Just passing on my latest discovery. The majority of information i found was anti-oats with UC. I have found a significant change within 1 week from having porridge for breakfast each morning with either lactose free milk or just water. Seems to have stopped my urgency and I can go to the toilet at MY convenience - not my bowels tongue I hope it helps others to give it a try.

Same here. Seems to be much more than just because it is a soluble fiber, and it is more nutritious than psyllium.

I don't know if it helps UC for me, but it is one thing that really can help keep me more regular.

Well it has soluble and insoluble fiber in it. I only get the big canisters of plain and sweetn it myself, them little flavored packets probably aren't the best.

I have oatmeal many mornings (rolled oats, not the instant kind). I add cinnamon and a few dried cherries for sweetness. When I am not flaring I like to add freshly roasted nuts (pecans, usually) to the mix. Delicious :)

I don't know if it helps my colitis, but it doesn't seem to hurt. And I feel more satisfied all day when I have oats for breakfast.

lol justwrong, that's what I have been using. A bit of Manuka honey will make it a little more tolerable. Fingers crossed for you :-) I hope it helps!
