Why it helps
Cooked apple is gentle on digestion and a source of pectin, a soluble fibre your gut bacteria enjoy. Oats bring more soluble fibre and slow, steady energy. Soft, warm and filling, it’s a reliable breakfast for a sensitive gut.

Cook’s notes
Batch the apple.
Stew six apples at once and keep them in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Avoiding dairy?
Use an oat or almond drink and coconut yoghurt.
On a low-FODMAP phase?
Apple is high-FODMAP, so swap it for a firm banana or a handful of blueberries.
