You can find these types of oats easily in grocery stores. These kinds of oats take the longest time to cook as compared to others because of the minimal processing that they undergo. Whole oats are the result of harvesting groats (a grain), removing the hulls, and cleaning them. The difference between them depends on the average cooking time with steel-cut oats needing the longest and instant oats the shortest cooking time. There are different types of oats such as instant oats, steel-cut oats, and rolled oats. They may come in different flavors like chocolate, caramel, peanut butter, etc which involves heavy processing. Oatmeals also contain ingredients other than oats such as added salt and sugar. Oatmeal is a version of oats that undergoes processing to cut back on its cooking time when compared to whole oats which are not as processed as oatmeal and thus need longer cooking time to become fit for consumption. However, foods that have been fortified (externally added) with phosphorus might get absorbed completely because they do not come from a natural source and are not bound with phytates. Therefore, when eating a meal that is naturally high in phosphorus, only a portion of it gets absorbed into the bloodstream because it is bound to phytates (an antioxidant) which do not allow the complete breakdown of the mineral in the digestive system. The phosphorus present in the food does not get completely absorbed into the bloodstream. However, they can still be eaten by kidney patients. Oats have a significant amount of certain minerals such as phosphorus and potassium. Are oats good for high creatinine?Īccording to a study done on chronic kidney disease patients, eating oats did not show any changes in creatinine levels in renal patients. Oats are a kind of grain that is eaten as a popular breakfast meal.īack in the days, oats were mostly eaten in European countries but in recent years, due to increasing awareness of eating healthy, oats have found their way into the diets of Indian households as well. Therefore, dietary recommendations cannot be generalized. I will answer this question by breaking down different aspects of oats in kidney disease because when it comes to kidney diseases no one size fits all.Įvery patient’s condition differs from one other. The question that I get asked frequently by my kidney patients is “are oats/oatmeal good or bad for kidney disease?”
