Absolutely, if you're not allergic to it. It is not high in calories or fat. Unfortunately it does not contain a lot of fiber, so if you're looking to increase fiber intake, look at other cereals.

Answer2 Absolutely! Few products are full of fibers, calcium, iron and other important minerals.

  • Yes. Diabetics can eat wheat bread.
  • No, many diabetics cannot and should not eat wheat products including bread.
  • "Wheat" bread can indicate any sort of bread made with wheat flour, including very sweet white bread with very little nutritional value. Because diabetics need to carefully restrict the amount of sugar they consume, whole wheat or whole grainbreads that are lower on the glycemic scale are better choices than "wheat" bread.

Yes, study says oatmeal is also good first choice for diabetic patients. Those people who eat fiber rich foods can slow down the body's process of digesting starch. So for this reason, oatmeal can be a very good substance as it can help diabetic to stop the rise in levels of the patients blood sugar which normally happens after eating. Hope this helps.

What alternative flours can replace white and wheat flour?

Different flours can be used interchangeably, although they will not produce identical products. White flour is a type of wheat flour that has all elements of the wheat grain removed except for the starchy inner part of the grain. It is usually chemically bleached to the preferred whiteness. Other types of wheat flour include unbleached white flour, whole wheat flour and cracked wheat flour. Bread flour is wheat flour with a higher percentage of gluten, while pastry flour is wheat flour with lower gluten. Self-rising flour is wheat flour to which salt and leavening ingredients are added. Some flours that can replace wheat flours are spelt flour, oat flour, rye flour, rice flour and corn flour. Each type of flour will have a distinctive taste and texture.
