Question: What Cereals Do You Eat

Or more broadly, what do you eat for breakfast?
I am tired of having Oat Bran with Applesauce BUT when I try and eat something different, normal cereal with water, I feel more bloated, with trapped gas much like when eating a bagel.
This occurs when I have cereal like fruit loops, cheerios, captin crunch.
I was wondering if you had any cereal that were tasty and safe, ones which would not cause bloating?
Further what do you have for breakfast?
I've tried dairy free waffles, they are alright.
Thanks.

Sometimes I have an egg sandwich bread , Organic egg whites, Veginaise.

I have oatmeal most often, sometimes with raisins or other dried fruit. Some variation of toast is my second favorite: toasted sourdough bread, bagels, english muffins. Usually, I just put some jam on them, but sometimes I get fancy and use almond butter or hummous. And if I want a real treat, I top my bagels with soy cream cheese and lox. I very rarely have cold cereal or eggs (whites only, of course).

I usually have oatmeal made with soy milk for breakfast with a few raisins or dried cranberries and half cup of canned peaches or pear thrown in.
When I eat cold cereal, it's the Malt-o-Meal versions of Capt. Crunch (don't remember the Malt-o-Meal name), Froot Loops (they call 'em Tooty Frooties), or Lucky Charms (Marshmallow Mateys). The Malt-o-Meal versions do not contain dairy.

I eat oatmeal mixed with some kind of milk (substitute) and I add jam or cocoa and marshmallows to taste 
I don't like applesauce to eat just like that so I don't eat it...
I used to love Kashi heart to heart cereal, but it has too much IF for breakfast I think... so I just stick to the oatmeal. Sometimes I toast a slice of bread and eat it with almond butter (very little) and jelly or jam or something like that.
How do you tolerate bananas? They are a great breakfast too.

I usually either eat Quaker instant brown sugar oatmeal or a plain bagel.
A couple of days this week I've had "fried" egg whites and French bread. To make the eggs, I just put just a tiny bit of safe margarine in a non-stick skillet (or you could just use Pam) and pour in some egg whites and cook like a fried egg or omelet with a pinch of salt.
For cereal, I like Organic Kellogg's Rice Krispies (found in regular grocery store). I also occasionally eat generic fruit loops, Barbara's Bakery Honey Rice Puffins, or EnviroKidz Organic Koala Crisp (like cocoa krispies). I really don't eat cereal for breakfast much anymore, though, because I'm just not really crazy about eating it with soy or rice milk. Instead, I sometimes have a cup of dry cereal as a little snack.

Rice Krispies, Lucky Charms, they should do?
Any reason why when I eat cereal with water I feel more bloated with trapped gas?
I thought it was due to artificial sweetners in the cereal or it being like processed bread, bagels.
Maybe Rice Milk would help?

I usually eat oatmeal (old-fashioned rolled oats) with fruit (blueberries if I can afford them) and soy milk.
Other things I eat that don't bother me are:
Pancakes - low-fat Bisquick, made with egg whites and soy milk
ONE egg, either scrambled or "fried" with just cooking spray, and a slice of toast with jam
Bagel with jam
Cereals - Honeycomb, Apple Jacks, Honey Bunches of Oats, Cocoa Pebbles, Corn Pops, Rice Crispies, any variety of Chex, any variety of Life, Cheerios, Corn Flakes - basically, I don't have problems with ANY cereals at all, although I don't eat the more IF cereals like shredded wheat, Grapenuts, or the fatty stuff like granola.
For all cereals, I use soy milk, but I also have used rice milk safely.

Rice Krispies and Lucky Charms contain HFCS and/or oat bran or whole grains (IF). These are known to cause problems.

Note that I said the Malt-o-Meal knock-off of Lucky Charms, that are called Marshmallow Mateys.
The Malt-o-Meal versions of the cereals I listed DO NOT contain dairy. The General Mills originals do (or did last I checked). I'm just trying to clarify because I don't want to screw anyone up! 
As far as I know, the Malt-o-Meal versions don't contain artificial sweetners.
I don't know why cereal with water would make you feel more bloated.
