I eat cheerios with bananas with no issue. I have also had Kashi Autumn Wheat with walnuts as well and Cream of Wheat with walnuts when I want something that doesn't have much fiber, depends on the day.
Thank you, what about oat meal, some people say it thickens stool, I also eat lots of peanut butter and applesauce on pancakes. I love bagles but affraid it loaded with carbs
Not a big oatmeal eater myself. So not sure about that.
Thanks again
I find oat meal works well as a binding agent so would definitely give that a go. Bananas are definitely my go to fruit as well. I'm sure if you do a search on this site for oat meal you will find a lot of other articles. Good luck.
Thank you very much
Hello, Mikeey. Sometimes I eat quinoa flakes as my cereal. I just checked the box In my cupboard for information on carbs, protein, fiber, etc. It says for 1/3 cup (uncooked) there are 150 calories; 1 g fat; 0 cholesterol; 29 g carbs; 3 g fibre; 0 sugar. You can add banana, berries, cinnamon, and have it hot. It's a change from oatmeal, or cold cereal. It's almost like cream of wheat, if you like that. Quinoa has carbs but is good for protein and fibre. Cooking is easy: 1/3 cup of flakes in bowl or mug, add 1/2 cup boiling water or favourite milk. Cover and wait 1 minute! Good luck!
Thank you so much, have a great day and God Bless.
I eat any and all cereals, with the only qualification being that I like the taste. Cheerios, Life, Special K, granola. I do avoid "sugar bomb" cereals, but not because of effect on my pouch, jst health reasons. I also eat fresh fruit every morning. Bananas, oranges, pineapple, blueberries, strawberries, kiwi fruit, you name it. No juice (too high in glycemic index).

Oranges and pineapple? I wish I could too 
I would have to plan to stay at home all day long and have the pain relievers and buscopane ready by my side if I wanted to eat those fruits... How lucky you are!
