Hi all, does anyone have any favorite breakfast foods (without meat or eggs) to suggest to me? I am getting so sick of toast with jam. Thanks.

I eat corn chex with soy milk, bagels, oatmeal...these are all quick breakfasts...if you want some ideas that take a little more time try looking on the recipe exchange or in Heather's book "Eating for IBS" ...there are lots of great things in there!!

Thanks Kimm. What do you put on your bagel? I have Heather's book. I am looking for quick before work ideas.
Kimm, aren't you the one who wrote me back about Dicetel? I have taken it for a few days now and it seems to be giving me cramps and not doing too much else. Didn't you say it didn't work for you? Let me know what your doctor suggests as another drug to take. I'd like to know what does work but I guess it's different for everyone.

Hey there...I usually put a tiny amount of low-fat peanut butter on my bagel...but some people can't handle peanut butter...so maybe jam instead??
Yah I'm the one who wrote you back about Dicetel...and I'm actually going to see my Doc today to try and find another medication that will work. I've been on Dicetel for almost 2 months now and I've seen no results...I was told it can take over a month to start working...so maybe give it a little more time and it may work for you!!
In any case...I will definately let you know what me and the Doc decide on today and will tell you if it does anything for me....

You could also try Tofutti "Cream Cheese"---it's not too horrible and comes in flavors like veggie and strawberry. Peanut butter is more nutritious though, if you can tolerate it. I second Kimm's ideas about oatmeal and cereal. Also soy yogurt is quick and easy! I know how it is though--I'm terrible about eating breakfast!

I'll look for Tofutti cream cheese, sounds good. I can't tolerate peanut butter which is sad because I love it.

I never eat breakfast until I get to work (long story), so it's hard for me to eat a meal that has to be prepared. My favorite thing lately is to bring a bag of cereal and a juice-box sized Soy Dream Original (I believe they sell 3-packs of them). Pop a few cereal pieces in my mouth and wash it down with the soy milk - just like having a bowl of cereal!
I will also bring pieces of Heathers' breads or an english muffin to toast in the toaster.

My favorite breakfasts are homemade quick breads and muffins... there are some awesome recipes on the boards that are simple to whip up and taste fantastic! And of course Heather's breads are also terrific. I usually freeze some so that it lasts longer. When it starts getting low I just take it out of the freezer the night before and voila, there's breakfast!
I also love cereals. Honeycombs and cocoa puffs are my safest standbys. I also love my Honeycombs with about 1/2 a banana sliced on top!
I also enjoy bagels for breakfast. Depending on the flavor of bagel I top it with either a little bit of soy margarine, soynut butter, soy cream cheese, or jelly.
Speaking of soynut butter, have you ever tried it?? I can't tolerate PB either, and the SB is a great substitute for me! It makes fantastic soynut butter and jelly sandwiches!

i eat oatmeal with almond slices and rasins with honey. It tastes great. I also eat these waffles I think it's by Fran's. I get them in the health food store.  They have no wheat, no eggs, no diary and tastes great. they make them with flax which is very good for people with IBS.

Soy nut butter?!
Where do you buy this? A health food store? What does it taste like? If I could find this I'd be a happy camper!

I love Cream of Wheat with vanilla soy milk, and fruit in it.
I also like smoothies.
Try 1 Cup of Vanilla soy with melons, or any fruit, and 1/2 cup of oats meal in the blender with it, or flax seed.
I also put flax oil in there. It's a quick all in one breakfast.

hI SarA; Tell me about it, all I can manage for breakfast so far is rice porridge. With the warm weather coming I would LOVE to have some cold cereal for a change. I heard that corn flakes or cheerios are supposed to be pretty safe. I was hoping with the acacia to be able to have it myself for a change. I will have to see how it goes.

Sorry, I don't like eggs too much, even egg whites. I use tofu to make a scrambled egg which is pretty good.

I buy soynut butter in the natural foods section of my grocery store, but if yours doesn't carry it you might need to go to a health food store. It tastes a lot like PB to me, but maybe that's just because I've gotten so used to it. If you've ever had soynuts, it tastes like them.... but creamier!
I buy I.M. Healthy brand. I use the regular creamy most of the time, but also love their chocolate once and a while as a special treat. Unfortunately it's a lot higher in fat, so I use that sparingly... but their regular is a lot lower in fat than PB!

love orowest waffles, they come in blueberry, plain that I know of and they are IBS safe food. You can get them at specialty stores or check out their website for a store near you that may carry them. www.orowest.com I love having waffles or IBS safe pancakes with soy yogurt usually peach flavored or raspberrry and a half of banana. I alternate during the week with rice chex and rice milk or rice crunch um cereals. Sometimes if on the go a slice of Zucchini bread and a glass of rice milk hot cocoa and a half of banana. Sometimes a muffin like cran-orange and 1 soy yogurt plain, chamomile tea. Breakfast s my favorite part of the day I have noproblems having breakfast everday, my problem is evening meals so I don't eat past 5 or 6 pm, just have lite snack.

No worries.  Everyone is different. Maybe having it on an empty stomach isn't the best time to have it. I have to try new things or else my life will be evry borong.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I tried a new product that's yummy and IBS-friendly to me! Yay! It's called YoSo Soy Spreadables and is a non-dairy alternative to cream cheese. I got the jalepeno flavour and loved it. My boyfriend did too and even said that he likes all the non-dairy things I am introducing him to.
