Quick question about oatmeal

[claire-lou]

I'm just sneaking in here as I have a query, what fpods contain oatmeal. I had a shocking time trying to feed my little boy and didn't bf for a long time, I did try relactation but didn't get good enough results to feed him again. This time I've read every ounce if information I can get my hands on and i WILL feed the new baby. But one thing that keeps popping up is oatmeal helps with supply, but I have no idea what it is

I've been eating alot of flapjacks and I bought some oat-so-simple microwave porridge, or there's oatabix, just anything made with oats I think

Thank you, you should have seen me stood in the supermarket yesterday reading all the ingredients on everything looking for oatmeal

Lol oatmeal is the American way of saying it I think

Yeah, it's just rolled oats or porridge!

I eat wholegrain rolled oats, they haven't been chopped up. I dont make porridge out of them, I just grab a handful and plop them into a bowl with some fruit and milk.

oatmeal is just the US term for rolled oats or porridge! Barley also contains the same active ingredient (beta-glucan), especially malted barley, you can get malt barley extract in a jar, it tastes like shreddies and you can add it to homemade cakes,biscuits or just stick a load in your porridge

Oh that is good to know, my OH buys this stuff called maltexo which is malted barley, I hate the stuff but I'll start stealing some if it helps.

Oh it does its an aquired (sp?) taste but I am now hooked on the stuff; I made some raisin and oat cinnamon cookies with it in the other day so there were three US cups of oats in and about 1/2 a cup of this barley stuff, they were quite crumbly but very delicious xx

i miss this stuff used to have it as a kid but need to get some sent over its not avalible here

flapjacks are great for Oat content as are Anzac biscuts or oat cakes

Looking at the malted barley I bought (the one above) and the maltexo they look very similar, if not identical. BTW they sell anzac biscuits in waitrose x

 

[lynnikins]

lol yeah i know but i dont like the waitrose ones, Abel & Cole ( online ) do much better ones or since i have the recipe then i can always make my own lol

 

[summer rain]

Ooh anzac biscuits looking at the recipe are almost identical to these amish biscuits I made from my recipe book; except the amish ones contain mollasses instead of golden syrup xx

You can also get oat milk which also contains bg. I have my morning porridge made with oat milk so I get double the oaty goodness. I love it! Yum yum yum
