A member asked:
I used to be obsessed with raw oatmeal with milk. now oats seem to give me gas and cause intestinal distress. is it possible that these are related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Oatmeal contains high amt of soluble fiber which causes gas when broken down in the intestines. Milk can also contribute if you haven't consumed milk for a while and are now deficient in the lactase enzyme.
