A member asked:
Can you give me suggestions if i eat oatmeal for breakfast to help with cholesterol levels but want to try a grain free diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benefit is minimal: In spite of what you heard, the benefit of oatmeal in lowering cholesterol is minimal and can be accomplished just as well with any fiber that will "bind" cholesterol in the gut and prevents its absorption. You can try the grain free diet and supplement it with a fiber source.
