I'm really struggling to find foods I can eat in the morning for breakfast, since my IBS is so poor. Any fellow sufferers have suggestions?
Spicy/oily is out. I love hash browns but I can't seem to cook them properly without oil, which inevitably ends in disaster.

Have you tried smoothies? I have a sensitive stomach and usually just do some vegetarian protein with milled flax, mct oil, and some freeze dried veggie shit
Thomas Foster
Poached eggs

Banana toast egg

What type of vegetarian protein do you use? I have heard of ibs smoothies but have been afraid to try it. I like poached eggs but eggs in general tend to bother me. Do you have a recipe? You don't just mean french toast right? I can't see french toast filling me up until lunch.

IBS means doctors cannot find anything wrong for you. Like fibromyalgia it just means you are (or want to be in the case of malingerers) abusing drugs/alcohol and/or they cannot find anything wrong with you.

thanks web-md for telling us what literally every person with ibs knows
it's not like every person has gone through years of waiting and several doctors first, for you to come along this thread and enlighten all of us
truly appreciated

Oatmeal.

Except when it turns out they actually have undiagnosed full blown inflammatory bowel disease a couple years later when the blood and scar tissue starts showing up in the toilet (though even then doctors will at first brush that off as hemorrhoids until you're spending most of your day with blood filled diarrhea pouring out of your ass).

Ok yeah but if you had observable symptoms like blood and scar tissue you wouldn't be IBS, they would be able to run tests and determine what was causing it. I suspect a lot of these people are overweight, abuse substances, and/or malinger for drugs/attention from doctors. Or they could just have an eating disorder and use IBS as a justification to avoid eating.
