Have you tried Cream of Rice? I've seen it in the baby food section.
Even milder on the digestion than Cream of Wheat.

For me I'd rather have the extra flavor and lower carb count plus I am
wheat intolerant. For me steel cut oats on occasion is a nice change
from my more common morning eggs. (But morning eggs go really well with
Chinese sausage and I don't suppose Chinese sausage is good in oatmeal).
I'm tempted to try adding oat bran to the steel cut oats before cooking.
Lower net carb, higher fiber, should be a bit more filling. Regular
oatmeal starts out bland enough as it is. Has anyone tried mixing in
extra oat bran? I've tried psyllium husk dusted onto hot cereal and it
was okay ...
