Do any of the Supermarkets Stock Oatbran?

As part of my getting-rid-of-my-mummy-tummy diet I am looking to make some Oatbran Pancakes - very filling and practically no carbs apparently!

But the Asda I went to last night didn't have any. I pass by a Sainsburys, Tesco and a Morrisons on the way home - does anyone know if any of these stock Oatbran?


Hope someone can help.

    Hello, I don't know what it is exactly but I noticed some in the 'big' Tesco in Stockton yesterday, it was in the World Food section?!

    Ah - it could have been in the world food section in Asda...I was looking in the cereals aisle!

    Will have a look. Thank you.

    If you have a Co-Op, they definitely stock it. It's in a sort of whole foods section with things like cous cous, oatmeal, nuts & seeds.

    I get Wheatbran in Morrisons, is that the same thing ?
    I know they have some other sort of bran as well.

    Sainsburys and Tesco, but not asda. Excellent at correcting LDL and HDL levels. Wheatbran is different to oatbran, oatbran is soluble fibre in the form of betaglucagon whilst wheatbran is not soluble, I have 2 spoons of wheatbran when I get constipated on cereal ( although it interfers with iron absorption) and my DH has a bowl of oatbran for breakfast everyday to correct his LDL/HDL ratio. His cholesterol is fine, but his LDL is a bit low ( or at least was we'll have to see)
  • Thanks everyone, I actually found some in Morrisons. It was by the flour etc which could be why I couldn't find it before! Oatbran pancakes made and consumed and quite tasty they were too!
