    I would look at moving away from breads and cereals. there are some ok options - especially if you can make your own - but on the whole they aren't very good.
    Eggs, baked beans, dinner leftovers (yes!) work for a more filling breakfast. Also, GF savoury muffins are an option for something bready - just keep them in the freezer if you have extra.

    I can't help with food ideas, I can help where to go. There is a shop called Gluten Free in Ormond, you can order online. They have a heap of gluten free breads and so on. Another place is in Werribee called Absolutely Gluten Free.

    I'm also GF and have been eating the Basco GF breakfast cereals. I also make my own bircher muesli. I'm having other issues though and have finally bought the GAPS Diet books, including the recipe book. There are nut free options. I'm thankful I have a TMX, as it makes things easier and also cheaper - I can make my own flour, for example.

    You can make things like egg & bacon fritatta muffins and freeze them. I eat corn thins or rice cakes for sandwiches or make my own GF bread. I'll PM you the links. Otherwise google Bread in 5 Gluten-Free Crusty Boule.

    I'll also dig out a grain free, nut free pancake recipe for you.

    I highly recommend you investigating the GAPS Diet.

    My SIL has a sister & bil who coeliac's disease and she said she uses normal recipes and just changes the flour and marg etc.
    Coles also has a bread mix that they said was the best one they have found and not that hard to make.
