Doctor can evaluate: Tummy bloating only after eating oatmeal but not after eating other foods, may be due to an intolerance or allergy to the ingredients in the "oatmeal meal". It may or may not be merely the oatmeal causing a problem. One can bring the oatmeal container, along with a list of the other items eaten during the "oatmeal meal" to the doctor to review, and have a tummy exam too.

Oats and Bloating: Oats may contain gluten, a common allergen found in wheat, barley and rye that cause adverse reactions in the digestive system if you have celiac disease, oat allergy or are intolerant of proteins found in oats. Your doctor will provide a clinical diagnosis for your condition and effective treatment options.
