All I wanted to know was if lucky charms in Canada have HFCS, why would I post all the ingredients if all I wanted to know was if yours had HFCS? That was all I wanted to know. I didn't want to know all the ingredients

Just a note about Rice Krispies. These may be fine for you, but they do contain HFCS. The organic version does not.

On workdays, mostly oatmeal (old-fashioned oats) with cinnamon and chopped walnuts or almonds. Sometimes a bagel with soy cream cheese.
On the weekends: pancakes, or maybe egg whites with toast and margarine (Smart Balance Light).
I'm not a good one to give advice on cereals... I seem to tolerate my favorites well, and they probably aren't ones considered generally safe. Notably, I often I eat cereal at dinner, rather than breakfast...it could be they are easier to tolerate after a day of eating other things and taking my SFS.

Yea - fructose - the trigger in HFCS is interesting. In large enough amounts it produces IBS-like symptoms in almost everyone. The measured range of tolerance is quite wide. It ranges from below 5 grams (a bit more than a teaspoon) to more than 50 grams. The average soft drink contains 20-30 grams of HFCS.
The amount of HFCS in most cereals and sauces is probably not a problem for a large part of the IBS population. There is probably less than a teaspoon of HFCS in most single servings. On the other hand HFCS and carbonation in soft drinks are a problem for very many IBS suffers. Personally I can drink carbonated water with no difficulty but I cannot handle 1 gram of fructose in a single dose.
I find it interesting how wide the tolerances of individuals on this board are to the various triggers. Some of the foods that some stable people eat would put me in the hospital. On the other hand my tolerance for other triggers is higher. IBS seems like an endless balancing act
