It's one of those things that is a problem for some, but not all of us.
It is not a problem for me, and I stand by my original post. Naturapanic asked what we eat for breakfast. These are some of the things I eat that do not bother me.
However, more times than not, I eat old fashioned oatmeal, which is something else not everyone tolerates. That and rice were my safest foods for months. At this point, I'm stable, but I REALLY like my oatmeal, so I continue to eat it. 
By the way, I also am great with quick oats. I just prefer the texture of the old fashioned variety.

One hard-boiled egg (now that I've stabilized I can have ONE)
Oatmeal or Cream of Rice
English muffin with Soy butter or a little bit of soy cream cheese
Quaker Oat Squares (my fav) and rice Chex with with Rice milk
Soy yogurt (I like Silk best) and a banana
If you're bloated after cereal, have you been tested for Celiac? There are a lot of people that have some of the IBS symptoms that can't tolerate gluten. Might want to check that out.

I wasn't responding to your posting. I was responding to the comment that Naturapanic made "Rice Krispies, Lucky Charms, they should do?". Since Naturapanic is not stable then HFCS and many other possible triggers/irritants should be taken into consideration until stablility is reached.
I only eat oatmeal for breakfast.

Rice Chex (dry) w/ toast, and a Luna Bar
Van's Wheat Free Blueberry Waffles (I'm not gluten-intolerant, I just think these taste better than the wheat ones.) w/ applesauce
Quaker's Instant Oatmeal (Cinnamon Roll flavor) w/ toast
Plain oatmeal w/ blueberries, toast
I like to eat my breakfast slowly, so I usually take an hour in the morning or I'll split it up into two meals. For example, if I get up at 7 am, I'll have a Luna Bar; then about an hour later, I'll have Rice Chex and toast. Sometimes I'll have ginger-lemon tea after breakfast if I'm feeling nauseated or hot chocolate almond milk if I just need some chocolate.

Oh. I didn't realize that, Syl. No disrespect intended.
In response to his post about Lucky Charms, I clarified I meant a different brand's version.
However, I will still say that HFCS was never a problem for me personally. I realize we are not all the same and am only passing along my personal experience. Having followed the diet for almost two years now (with some experimentation, yes), I know my own body pretty well.

Snorkie, I have a box of Lucky Charms name brand and I do not see in the ingredients any dairy mentioned, not do I see it in the cap'n crunch/name brand. Did I read your post wrong that you said they contain dairy?? Are the malt-o-? ones taste just as good. I do hate the fact frosted flakes has HFCS.........

I have oatmeal every single morning...I love it, but I do get tired of it. Wal-Mart sells the premeasured cups of Quaker brown sugar oat and I buy them, more convenient when I was working and was still in school, I would like to try something else, but I like getting my SF/IF in at breakfast and oats seems to be the only cereal to do that. I love lucky charms, coco puffs, honeycombs, cap'n crunch, rice chex, and grapenuts, but if I eat them I have 1/8 of a cup, 1/4 is a serving and it has 6gm of Fiber and I was told it's IF, but Barley is listed as a SF? so I'm not sure on that one....I did read that honey graham has dairy, I think, but if anyone shops at Target their brand name of cereal is good and very reasonably priced!!

Lucky Charms and Chocolate Lucky Charms don't have HFCS but they do have whole grains. Berry Lucky Charms contain HFCS. I wasn't sure which type of Lucky Charms you were referring to 
When you ask a question it helps if can post the ingredients

Huh. I could have sworn the last time I looked at boxes of Capt. Crunch & Lucky Charms they both had some sort of dairy derivative it them. This would have been more than a year ago, though. Maybe they've changed?
Malt-o-Meal is less expensive and in the two varieties I mentioned, I can't taste the difference from the "real thing."
