Dr. Gundry has voluminous videos on line stating that oatmeal is the worst thing and no one should eat it. I no longer read anything he says. Yes, my oatmeal is gluten free (intrinsicly all oatmeal is gluten free), but I check where it is processed to be sure. The fruit is a great way to get variety.I also have heard it helps with cholesterol. I use steel cut, long cooking oatmeal . This avoids any additives. But I do cheat from time to time and eat instant oatmeal. I usually start it cooking in a small crock pot, late at night, with extra 1/2-1 cups of water, cook on low All night, then it's ready in the morning, when I am too tired to cook it. Shelley
