As you mentioned, there's just a few things that could be changed to make this a bit safer for IBS. I would replace the 6 whole eggs with 12 egg whites. Also, I'm not the best at calculating fat, but the amount of dairy free spread and nuts may make it too high in fat. You'd need to calculate the calories and make sure that no more than 25% are coming from fat. My guess is you could easily reduce the amount of spread and nuts without it having too much of an effect on flavor.

Thank you for the suggestions. I actually made this yesteday and it turned out more like bread pudding. Think the next time I make it I will place the bread out for 6-8 hours or use old bread ask to soak up the ingredients better, making more of a french toast product as opposed to bread pudding:)
