Is it ok to have oatmeal as far as yeast problems are concerned?

Sorry Mr. Tom...
I have not a clue if there even are rules on oatmeal... golly I hope not as there are too many rules in life now.
However.. MY rule of thumb is..
Everything in moderation.
I wouldn't eat oatmeal cookies 3 meals a day for a week. And if I DID I sure wouldn't TELL anyone.
But as a breakfast food (minus honey, molassass, sugar, brown sugars and syrup, etc- you know the stuff that makes it TASTE good)... I wouldn't see why not.
Live a little. Splurge! Eat some oatmeal!
It's Friday night. No rules on Friday night. And if you are feeling REALLY wild... take a bath in it too! (Or do we wait till Saturday night for THAT special event?)
Actually.. it is a carb based food... and yeast kinda likes that. But if you are going to eat carbs... this I would think would be a good choice. And we NEED some carbs or our brains won't function.
Which by the way.. is what I think is wrong with some of the people here... but don't tell them I said so. (You'll know who they are.. they will reply.... and by THAT you can tell!)
Have a good weekend!

I do not have a candida problem, and I do eat carbs. I avoid sugar and sugary foods, but I eat gluten-free pasta, hot rice cereal (I can't have oatmeal because of the gluten), gf bread, popcorn, etc. I feel better when I eat carbs, but I try to eat good ones and stay away from anything sugary.
If I developed a problem with candida, I would avoid more carbs than I do.
I take a lot of probiotics and Nystatin to avoid developing a candida problem.
I would think oatmeal, being a whole grain, would be a good choice.

I dont know if i have a candida problem or not, but i was reading thru burrascano's recommendations concerning lyme, and the part about yeast. So i figured everyone with lyme should avoid those things.
How do i know if i have a yeasst problem?

I thought people with Lyme should avoid gluten anyway so that rules out oatmeal? I do not do well on gluten anyway so I no longer eat it. I wish I could I crave garlic bread.
I must say there is one company that does make decent brn rice pasta. I think I will make some now.

Do Black Squirrels eat oatmeal or just nuts?

OK.. sometimes I do get the days mixed up. And I can't tell you how wonderful it is for you to come point that out and tell everyone.. goofy squirrel.
And is tomorrow really Friday the 13th?
Or actually NOW is Friday the 13th. Hmmmmmmmm...

Vanilla,
Forget the oatmeal that squirrel eats nails.

He seems to be exposing himself lately too. He might be in need of an ankle bracelet. I think Martha Stewart is selling hers on EBay.
