Oatmeal Overload

04
Consuming large quantities of oatmeal can overwhelm the digestive system, leading to digestive discomfort, bloating, gas, and potentially constipation.

Oatmeal has a low glycemic index, but eating too much of it, particularly without protein and healthy fats, might raise blood sugar levels.
06
Oatmeal may cause allergic responses in those with oat or gluten allergies.
07
Dietary fiber in oatmeal may impair drug absorption. Large amounts of oatmeal may interfere with medications.
