How about Corn Pops, Rice Krispies and Corn Flakes. With Corn Pops I usually eat in the evening as a snack.

hI Mags; those links are great, but I wish I knew if the cereal had soluble or insoluble fibre in it.

What do you put on your cereal? or do you eat it plain like a snack? I tried Heather's vitasoy vanilla. MMM MMM GOOD! alittle stong on the vanilla and a bit sweet but not bad. Think i'll try the plain kind next.

I like honeycomb with rice dreams milk. If things are backed up(I'm IBS C) I'll do raisin bran, but if your prone to D be careful!

Hi Louise - Rice cereals, unless they specify that they're made with brown rice, will only have soluble fiber. Corn cereals will have a bit of both. But, by definition the cereals are going to be so finely milled that the insoluble fiber in them will be safe.

Just take a single rice or corn chex and put on a plate or in a bowl with water. Walk away and come back in an hour or two. The chex will be enormous - because the soluble fiber in it is absorbing the liquid.
Found this out by accident when a few chex were left in the kitchen sink after washing dishes. It's a pretty good visual for what happens when you eat soluble fiber, and what it's actually doing in your gut.

I like the rice milk, plain or vanilla, over Rice Chex. Both are sweeter than regular milk which is a bonus to me!

I eat honeycomb's every now and then. They are safe and taste great with vanilla soy milk. Also grape nuts. A good way to eat them is put it in a bowl cover with milk add some brown sugar and microwave it for a min or two. It is really yummy!!!
