Hi Colette,

How right you are!
I just googled oats, and realized my mistake

As it turns out, I was using neither steel cut nor rolled oats, LOL.
I was using minute oats (quick oats)!
I've been away from the States for some time and forgot the name for them.

So even those tiny-flaked oats are too harsh on my stomach when soaked overnight, uncooked, in a shake.

BTW, before RR, breakfast was always a bowl of oatmeal (with no protein ).
Anyhow, I used minute oats, and had to cook them for about 5 minutes for my sensitive stomach

Yesterday, I put quick oats, well-cooked, in my shake, but tummy told me whoa! this stuff is too heavy!
I could only have half my shake, and even that was difficult for tummy to process.
I think I will try substituting sweet potato for the brown and see how that works out.

You are certainly right about us all being so different
