I've never experienced a hung-over feel from eating oats. I would if I ate 5 pieces of bread, though.
Most bread is not all that healthy. Even if it's labeled whole wheat, there's usually relatively little whole grain and fiber. It doesn't fill you up, so you're able to eat quite a bit. Manufacturers have engineered food to be like this - that way they sell more. (And a by-product of this is the diabetes epidemic.) After eating it, your blood glucose levels shoot up quickly, which increases insulin, then they crash, and you crave more carbs. There's a roller coaster effect.
Most bread has a fairly high glycemic index. Highly processed foods with relative high carbs shoot up your blood glucose so your body releases more insulin after eating it. Then when your insulin crashes, you crave more carbs. Sugar will do the same, although some grains like rice, or the wheat used in most bread, is quite quickly converted to glucose ( a sugar) by the body, so even if it doesn't have added sugar, it can have almost the same effect as sugar. .
People who follow a keto diet avoid all but the lowest carb foods (keeping their "net" carb intake for the day quite low) to avoid the insulin roller coaster By keeping carbs low, their bodies go into "nutritional ketosis" which means they rely much less on glucose for fuel, and instead, their bodies burn fat. When your body is in nutritional ketosis, you don't experience the cravings for food, in fact, you can go 14-16-18 hours without eating much. I'll have coffee or tea with half and half in those 14-16 hours I'm not eating, and only eat during 6-8 hour of the day, keeping my net carb intake for the day between 30-35 g.
It's very freeing to not experience the carb (food) cravings that the standard American diet creates. People experience a lot of other benefits, too. www.reddit.com/keto has good info for people starting with the keto diet. Many people with type 2 diabetes, who truly follow a keto diet, can get their blood sugar under much better control - to the point that they should work with a doctor (who isn't hostile to the keto diet) because their medications very likely will need to be reduced. It doesn't cure diabetes, it just puts it into remission (so if you go back to a higher carb diet, your blood sugar will shoot up again). www.virtahealth

Not instant.
Can someone explain why I can plow 5,6,7 or more pieces of bread in a night, not really an issue the next day but if I eat a HUGE bowl of oats, the next day my stomach growls, and I swear I have a tired, hung over feel

If you have a Costco membership pick up One Degree instead. I looked at the "bad" reviews and feel they're total BS IMO - I eat them uncooked so I can say they don't taste any different than their contaminated cousins. I obviously dislike they fact they're more expensive (though not prohibitively so) but I'll pay the No Poison upcharge regardless. Skip the Quaker.
