How IBS Sufferers Can Make Strawberries and Cream Oatmeal

You can have oatmeal, even if you suffer from IBS. While the quick oats are cooking, cut up strawberries and bananas (an IBS staple) and get the coconut milk out of the fridge. As soon as that's done, the oatmeal is usually ready to pour. You can add different fruits and even nuts as your diet allows.
