question about oatmeal

[Manu]

I've been eating oatmeal for some time, usually mixed with Whey.
I boil it with water (i dont have microwave).

The thing is: After cooking the oatmeal, it gets a kinf of *disgusting* "slime" ...usually i clean that stuff but i wonder what is that?

Any input on this?

Thanks

I don't cook my oatmeal. I buy the mintue stuff and run some hot water over it.

the heat causes chemical changes to the pritein in the oats themselves which make them "slimey" this process is called cooagulation and is perfectly normal.

Thank you for the replies.

I think the slime is the protein

It seems the slime is liquid fibre...
