    Quick question about breakfast (shreddies)

    I think I'll try eggs for breakfast and see how that goes. As I say I'm new to this and trying different things to see what I can and can't have. Suffering from ibs daily doesn't help any either

    Thank you for the reply, I'm not sure what's causing this then. It could be because my bloods was in the high 13 to 15 for months but I'm not sure.
