Oatmeal is a popular breakfast food, but people trying to avoid acidic meals may want to cut down on this grain. Oatmeal is high in fiber, and studies show it can lower cholesterol, but its acidity can cause issues, especially instant varieties. Choosing old-fashioned toasted oats can make this a more pH-balanced meal, especially with the addition of refreshing fruit like bananas, berries, and mangos. Organic oatmeal with raisins and carrots is also a healthier choice.
