Seriously. What is it with diners and restaurant breakfasts?

Why is nearly everything on the menu a sneaky high fat IBS trigger food?

Pancakes

Waffles

French toast

Biscuits

Scones

Pastries

Croissants

Pie crust

Doughnuts

In my ideal world? I avoid the gotchas! and cook safe, low fat, trigger free versions at home.

In my real world? I order as carefully as possible and avoid the known enemies.

But I also assume there are sneaky enemies, lurking where I don’t expect them.

So I hope for the best but plan for the worst, and proactively take control of my gut before it’s under enemy fire.

I do that by taking my enteric peppermint oil capsule (I love Tummy Tamers) while my stomach is still empty, before I even place that order.

You are not alone.
