Even if you whip it you can still use it for your porridge - it will simply revert back to its earlier state.

Just lightly whipped would probably be enough.

You can also loosen up thick cream with some milk.

Can I do that with a fork? how much bigger will it get? I have almost 0 experience with cream.

I cannot find lactose free whole organic milk so I thought if I made the porridge with water then added the cream

that would work. I need fat in my breakfast otherwise I stay hungry and eat everything else. bit of fat and I'm fine

till lunch.

It will take ages with a fork.

A whisk or blender would be quicker.

I find that if I have a bit of cheese it keeps me going and I don't get an energy drop.

Porridge alone just tires me out.

I can't eat cheese or milk (presumably the lactose)

I have tried some alternative cheeses and some are ok.

It was just an example of how I use inclusion of fat to help me feel full and have energy.

I think finding alternatives is a lucky dip and takes time.

black tea?

I used Alpro to see if it helped my IBS but milk wasn't the issue. Hazelnut Alpro is great on cereal or hot chocolate.

Tea is no problem. I went to stay in Hull when I was a teenager for 6months and kept running out of milk. By the

time I went home I preferred black tea.

I cut cheese when I realised it caused my acne but used to be ok with butter and small amounts of milk. I had soya,

rice, almond in my porridge but kept being hungry so tried full fat cow milk and no hunger. Then began the side

affects and two years of food eliminating to find cause. The bloated tummy was stress and the other prob

was caused by the dairy. The dairy alternatives are all low fat so at moment I am having boiled egg with

buttered toast and crossing my fingers over the butter.

Did you find the cause of your IBS?

I have a restricted diet so it was pretty easy to diagnose

Stress appears to be the biggest factor. Forgetting to eat also causes problems. Pastry & Coffee Whitener give me the trots if I have too much.

Good luck with egg on toast. You can always skip the butter if you make soldiers and dunk em.

Of course I dunk my soldiers. The butter is needed for the fat. I have found some lactose free whole milk today and

am going to try that tomorrow. We shall see.

I can't imagine forgetting to eat, but then I'm a bit of a piggy.

Do you really eat toast sandwiches over there?

According to an article on wikipedia, it is a buttered piece of toast with salt and pepper between two slices of bread.

That sounds like only about 1/4 step up from bread and water.

Um no I've never heard of that. Anyone else have it?

I've heard of crisp sandwiches though Mostly for kids but hipsters like them too.

What Americans would call chips in sandwiches sometimes with other things too. Kids make them and toss out the good fillings their parents put into the sandwich.

^No, someone is pulling your leg

A toasted sandwich or toastie is two slices of bread, cheese or ham in between and buttered on the outside and

then toasted



Damn, now I'm hungry.

You can make lots of different toasties - not just cheese based. Try banana & nutella. I wouldn't recommend toasting a crisp sandwich, though I've never tried it...

Had a cheese & onion crisp sandwich last weekend. First one I have had in yonks
