Oat magic - beta glucan
Everyone knows fiber is the sh!t (sorry). It keeps you regular and comfortable. But not all fiber is created equal and for a sensitive foodie, fiber is a real facepalm. We react differently to different types, to too much and to too little.

Welcome, Oat Fiber! In general, oats have more soluble fiber than other grains, which leads to slower digestion - helpful for those of us who need it slowed and problematic for the slow amongst us. But the unique type of soluble fibre in oats, called beta glucan, that's the magic. It is found mostly in the bran (covering of whole oats) and been shown to have several health benefits.
