Low residue cereals?

I can only talk from an Australian perspective, but corn flakes might be ok. They still are here.

You can also try cous cous - cover with an equal amount of boiling water, wait a few minutes; fluff with fork; microwave if the grains still seem a bit chewy.

You can make a semolina gruel too, that's quite gentle on the stomach. It's low residue, too.

Other than that, what about white rice?

I share your frustration - not everyone can eat wholegrain foods, and the people who can have options enough already. I wish they'd stop meddling with our safe foods.

yea i eat stuff like rice i just like cereal to put in a ziploc bag and take with me places on the go.

lately it doesnt matter what i eat, everything makes my stomach hurt, but im trying to be better with eating the low residue stuff

Have you tried Chex? It's a rice cereal, and it usually agrees with me. :)

I like the chex cereal and bonus they are gluten free if you have this issue. It just kills me how they try to take a sugar cereal and make it appear healthier by adding whole grains. seriously?? I mean they have upwards of 15 grams of sugar so adding whole grains is not gonna offset that. I get ill about all the sugar free junk in the markets right now too. I cannot tolerate any artificial sweetener and the choices of regular food are getting slimmer and slimmer. Not everyone wants sugar free jello pudding!! ok...feel better and getting off my soap box now.

i eat corn flakes n i also love rice krispies..
chex is good to imho
lyn

they hv whole grain cheerios as well

I know you're getting sick of them but I will make rice krispie treats and take them with me in ziplock baggies. This is my breakfast most mornings if I don't have a plain bagel w/ cr. cheese. Just a thought.

Maybe I'll get some chex for variety! :D

Though I think i'm just sick no matter what I do right now. The other night I had white rice which never hurts my stomack, and a little bit of fish which doesn't either...small portions of both and I ended up throwing it all up (including my antibiotic probably)

I had white rice cause my stomach to seize up one day for no reason, but most of the time it is very safe for me. I never used to have all the pain and limitations I have now. I have Chrones, but getting a doctor to clearly diagnosis it is very frustrating. I know from my symptoms, my food limitations, the pain, the testimonies of people with Chrones. My six blockages.

I Do Not Want it, but I know I do, and I want a clear diagnosis to protect my job and validate my health issues. I used to be able to eat cereal all the time. Pizza. Hamburgers. Chocolate. Ceasar Salads.

How I miss them! I was eating these things until very recently. I could not drink soda, or have a lot of fried foods, or eat popcorn. This all happened with blockages after my gall bladder came out in 2008.

But now I have about ten things on my menu. Eggs. Peanut butter and jelly. A lot of chicken. Mac and Cheese. Bananas. Canned fruit. Applesauce. Saltines (Ritz made me sick last time I tried them) cheese sticks, yogurt, jello and Boost drinks. Hard candy is my only treat.
