I am thinking of starting a S.O.G. research group on here seeking volunteers.

No not that S.O.G .the study and observation group that were studs in Vietnam war. This would be the study and observation group of granola cereal.
Example of the minds that I’d like to have on board is our neighbors here at D.U. community is my dear friends Diamonddog Livetohike Irisblue or Lucky charms and Marble falls etc etc.

At 58 years of age I’ve noticed that colon care is becoming more of priority in my life and the intake of fiber is a must. Especially after I’m now only able to hit gym Sunday Monday here on east coast and Thursday’s out in central California as we wait on East freight to cut to go home.

Exercise definitely cardio helps the colon train with keeping it moving on schedule. In truck I pack boiled eggs plenty of fruit and veggies also yet at times i still run into delays.

Say I pull out of Nebraska swap stop my turn to drive I’ll grab an empty coffee cup that i swiped from truck stop and pour cereal usually granola with sliced banana.
Although at times I’ve been known to hit the bran flakes as well with raisins plan is I let it sit in cup to get soft then drink it while i drive I mostly partake in Granola cereal.

And planning is important say day before I’m drinking a cup leaving east coast so at our shower fuel point in Sidney Nebraska I’ll have a huuuuge one then shower and roll.


So coming out of Nebraska Wednesday mornings having cereal planning for Thursday’s morning moment at terminal out in Central Cali then hit gym shower eat breakfast and head east.

Yet I’ve noticed not all granola cereals are equal as in dissolving to drink and drive breakfast. The most resilient cereal that takes forever to dissolve is a certain brand that begins with letter P I’m talking at least 200 miles until it’s ready.

1. I swear that this is true. It's 2:19 in the morning in Spokane and I was sitting here eating a bowl of home made granol

......when I read this post.

2. You're hired for research group when can you start.

[MMBeilis]

3. Immediately, sir. What a great honor this is for me. As a 77 year old retiree, I can think of no better use of my time

Currently I just spent most of it here on DU trying to bring the level of discussion up a little.

4. Thank you

You know I should walk with my union pension and just stop driving.
Probably be easier on my colon.

5. My only go to cold cereal is not made from grapes and has no nuts.

The ingredients are as simple as it gets, no artificial anything. They do have to sit in the milk for a while or they are little too crunchy.

At least a part time position as I have several years behind the wheel experience and I managed to keep my girlish figure, weighing in at 104 lbs, the whole time. And I have been accused of knowing stuff about food and nutrition.



First, what's wrong with bananas in raisin bran? Last time I ate cereal I had to use yogurt 'cause I can't have milk, takes longer in the soaking process. But I digress...

The key to quick soaking cereal is to know what it's made from. Softer grains will get mushy faster than hard ones, ie... oats compared to rice. So if your granola has lots of harder grains and seeds, it will take longer to get to the texture you like. Also, if you add a little blast of hot water to the dry stuff first, if gives it a jump start on softening things up.

7. You got the job.

8. Just remember eating so much cereal - it becomes an issue of bran-ger management, so don't go against the grain..

9. steel cut oatmeal. soften it in water and toss fruit in it

also I can't say enough good things about Benefiber or its generic clones. Unlike old school Metamucil it dissolves in water and leaves it clear, and you can put it in anything. It is a big help. I have suffered from IBS and it makes a huge difference
