My family has invited me out for a breakfast brunch on Mother's Day at one of the nice restaurants in town. I am concerned about what I should choose at this brunch table. I want to have a happy time for myself and my family and I don't want to take the chance of making myself sick with cramps etc. and spoil the day for others. If anyone has any ideas about what would be a good choice, please send in your thoughts.
Thanks so much

Can you find out the menu in advance? There's probably a special Mother's Day menu, but if you call ahead and explain that you have dietary restrictions, they may provide it for you.
In general for brunch, I would suggest an egg white omelet. But explain to the server (and the manager, if necessary) that butter/dairy AND oil are problematic for your condition and ask that very little fat be used. Then order plain white toast or a sourdough roll. And if you're concerned there won't be a good SF option at the restaurant, bring a sourdough roll along with you. I'll admit, I've done it. At my college roommate's wedding, I pulled a roll out of my purse. Nobody will notice.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
