Oatmeal has been a breakfast staple for centuries, and for good reason. It's a hearty, filling, and nutritious way to start the day. However, for people with FODMAP sensitivities, oatmeal can be a bit of a challenge. FODMAPs are a group of carbohydrates that can cause digestive problems in people with IBS and other digestive disorders. Traditional oatmeal contains high levels of FODMAPs, which can make it difficult for people with FODMAP sensitivities to enjoy.
This FODMAP-Friendly Oatmeal with Apples and Cinnamon is a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional oatmeal. It uses old-fashioned oats, which are lower in FODMAPs than other types of oats. The oats are cooked in water or unsweetened almond milk, which are also low in FODMAPs.

Walnuts or pecans can be added for some extra crunch, and maple syrup or honey can be added for sweetness, if desired.
This oatmeal is a great way to start your day, and it is sure to keep you feeling full and satisfied all morning long.
