As a grain, oatmeal is acid forming. Which means it creates a positive acid load on your kidneys. However, while this is true of oatmeal made with plain water, we often use oats as a base for other meals. Even if that is simply adding fruit to your breakfast. So in this oatmeal food list, you will see how adding ingredients to oatmeal increases or decreases the acid load. With a view to eating oats-based meals that improve your total PRAL alkalinity score.
