I also had to learn how to eat hot cereal. It all started when I got a triathlon coach. At that time I didn't eat breakfast at all, just a latte in the morning then a mid morning snack usually. She insisted on breakfast, ie threatened to give me the boot if I didn't start to eat breakfast. When I told er that most morning foods make me nauseated she suggeted instant oatmeal with yogurt and berries or other fruit mixed. I found that the coolness of the yogurt and the chunkiness and solidness of the add-ins kept my nausea at bay. Eventually I learned more about glycemic indexes and healthier food and decided that instant oatmeal is not a good choice, so I tried the Scottish Oatmeal I mentioned above and I was fine with it. Maybe I got used to the texture, maybe I've just changed. I don't know. I still have lots of add-ins. I buy dried berries from Trader Joes - blueberries are my favorite - and sometimes I still add yogurt if I want something cooler and refreshing.

So that's my anecdote. There is absolutely no scientific basis for this method and you might end up gagging it all up just the same but I hope it gives you some ideas.
