I found the source for the reference to Bobbi’s comments about Bran in
an earlier post. The book is called Food-Medicine Interactions and
can be purchased from:

It states this about Oatmeal / Bran / Fiber: Fiber products taken with
any medication and vitamin products often slows the transport of the
tablet or capsule in the gut. The delay in transport can sometimes
reduce the product dissolution and decrease the amount absorbed into
the blood. This would reduce the effect of the product. However,
sometimes the delayed transport caused by fiber may increase the
absorption of other products depending on the unique chemical properties.
Increased absorption of some vitamins occurs when fibrous foods are
eaten with the vitamin. This is an unpredictable event. It is best to
take any product one hour before or two hours after eating fiber.
Hope this helps Warriors!
