I'm now six weeks into my low fodmap restriction. It seems to be going really well and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My dietitian will help me reintroduce in a couple of weeks time. Am hoping I get some of the food groups back, I used to be such a foodie and restaurant and take-away menus are now impossible to navigate.
Anyone have any tips to keep breakfast interesting? I have got stuck in a cycle between Spelt Sourdough + eggs and Gluten free cornflakes
I really need some yummy ideas to get me leaping out of bed and taking an interest in my meals again.
Anyone else out that on this fodmap journey and still pushing to explore the widest range of foods possible?

Topic question for me - explored buckwheat pancakes this morning. Nice option for a weekend brunchie type thing. Who knew buckwheat didn't come from wheat - no pesky fructans in this brekie!
I think even the MapleSyrup is low fodmap (I need that, miss my honey these days)
Hi cath_mor
Good news about the diet!
As you are OK with the sourdough it is likely that you are not gluten sensitive. As grufjones says Buckwheat is low in Fructans, despite the name. Also consider [edited], Teff, Quinoa, Rice (plenty of the more exotic versions have different flavours). Think about Oats and Oatmeal (course, medium and fine milled versions).
Jazz it up with some berries (frozen cheaper out of season), some nuts, tablespoon of unsweetened Cocoa mixed with a nut or oat 'milk'...or a spoon or two of PB2 which is dried peanut powder without the fat amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00...
You can change the flavours of the outs and grains by putting in some spices like Cinnamon or Turmeric, nice with rice (need to soak rice for a few hours to get the flavours in). Try a tablespoon of ground flaxseeds (great anti-inflammatory and Omega 3 source but must be ground otherwise they just pass on through! 😊), or Chia (soaked or ground to release the benefits).
All this talk of breakfast has made me hungry! "bon appétit"

I have Quick oats only 1/2 a cup cooked with 1 cup of water. Stir well. I serve with a little sprinkle of ground flax for fibre if required) and ground cinnamon to taste can also add a few Blueberries, or Strawberries. I also add a sprinkle of sugar or maple syrup as I have a sweet tooth. Also a quick one is rice bubbles or rice puffs. There is also a selection of different puffs in the health food section. I am in Australia. Good Luck the diet can be bland but you do get a bit creative after a while. MIne is a permanent Fod diet of 3 or so years)
