I have one: I like grits cooked in the microwave and flavored with a pinch of salt, a pat of butter, and a few spoonfuls of jam. Sugar or honey is good, too, in place of jam. I used to eat a lot of oatmeal but it sometimes made my stomach hurt (even though I know it's supposed to be safe), so now I stick to grits when I want hot cereal. What do other people eat for a quick breakfast?
Oh, I thought of one more: Kellogg's Pop-Tarts (but not the Kroger generics) are dairy-free--and I can eat them in class.

Here's from web page
hominy grits = grits = corn grits Notes: This Southern staple is made from hominy or plain corn that's been ground until it has the consistency of coarse sand. It's used as a side dish, a breakfast cereal, or as an ingredient in baked goods. Varieties include quick-cooking grits and instant grits. Substitutes: polenta meal (This is corn that's often stone-ground, so that it retains the nutritious germ.) OR buckwheat grits OR barley grits
BTW: If anyone needs to look something up, this website is great! I found it a couple of weeks ago & I've used it for the boards as well as my own use. You can look up all types of foods & it even lists substitutions for everything...very convenient!

TessLouis,
Arnt Pop Tarts Usually packed with High Fructrose Corn Syrup?
Did you know Quaker oats makes a pop tart? Its crust is made with oatmeal and its packed with strawberry jam. MMMM. I can handle them more than the kelloggs pop tarts

That foodsubs page is great! Actually, I never knew what grits were until I came down to the States either -- haven't had the experience yet, although there's still lots of time.

Hi - Fructose (fruit sugar) can cause cramps, diarrhea, bloating, and gas. It's found in highest quantities in bottled fruit juices, commercial beverages (like soda pop) and commercial foods that use it as a sweetener (like the pop tarts). Most people tolerate it in small quantities, but some people are so sensitive that even a little bit can set them off. And just about everyone with IBS will react to larger quantities.
Best,
Heather

I always get all the sugars confused! I've read your book (I should start taking it everywhere I go--ever think of making a pocket sized version?  Table sugar is the one you say is ok...and that's sucrose, right? All the other oses are possible triggers? Hopefully I'll get this cleared up once and for all! Thanks so much Heather!!
