Diet question - what do you eat for breakfast

Hi everyone. I know a lot of people dealing with lyme are gluten free, diary free, low sugar.

Ive been trying slowly to eat less foods containing gluten. I haven't given up diary yet and I really don't want to because I really like milk.

My biggest problem is breakfast for some reason. I find it hard just getting started for the day, and I don't have much time because I'm busy with my baby in the morning. But if I don't eat I feel much worse.

What do you eat for breakfast that is gluten free? Also do you still eat diary? And do you drink coffee?

Thanks :)

this is what I eat:

- two eggs - scrambled

- small bowl of oatmeal (organic, large flake oats) - you can add a splash of milk if you're still drinking milk, or get some unsweetened almond milk like sarah uses.
I sometimes eat it without any milk or milk substitutes.
I sometimes cut up a banana (I do eat fruit)

- sometimes I have the previous day's leftovers from dinner.

I usually eat a small amount for breakfast.

Sometimes, it's a couple handfuls of cashews.

one day I will have scrambled eggs cooked with a tiny bit of coconut oil (I could never eat eggs without cheese until I tried this - it tastes really good!). With the eggs I have some berries.

another day I have berries with 3 slices of turkey bacon (antibiotic, preservative free)

and the other days I live on Shakeology shakes (the vegan protein option bc i am sensitive to whey protein) and mix it in a blender with coconut milk. This stuff is excellent - gives me a boost of energy and uses stevia as a sweetener, which is a healthy and natural substitute.

I have a book that has tons of other recipes, but I just don't have the time right now to whip them up!

I don't like most breakfast foods. I will eat chicken and sauerkraut. Or a hard boiled egg and carrot sticks. I have been known to have nachos for many breakfasts. My all time favorite is a baked potato with greek yogurt and chopped garlic. I am so weird like that.... Then all of a sudden I will want bacon and eggs. I love variety. My husband has the same thing forever!

lol my daughter is like you peteza, she will have soup for breakfast!

If they don't say gluten free on the bag...then they could be processed in a facility with wheat products...which means...not really gluten free.

But, if you don't have a problem (i.e gluten intolerance - celiac... or sensitivity) then you might not need to worry about that.

I eat regular oats - not specifically gluten-free oats.

Dairy btw increases histamine response so just makes your body work harder sometimes for days after eating it. Also, grapeseed oil is super buttery you can add to anything including meat after you've grilled it and it makes things so yummy!!

eggplant with gluten free bread. and salad (avocado, tomato, green salad, onion, etc...). boiled egg. lentil spread, sometimes goat cheese.

One of my long time staples is soaked oatmeal. I buy the gluten free oats. I literally make a batch every 4-5 days then just keep it in the fridge and scoop out what I need for that day. It literally takes 2 minutes to cook. I change up what I put in it. Some days soaked nuts and fruit, others chia seeds, some times just a little butter and maple, or even bacon or a fried egg for a savory version. Soaking the grain reduces the anti-nutrients and phytic acid in it making it much more digestible. I notice a huge difference if it's not soaked. I soak mine over night or even 24 hours in either lemon juice or ACV. You can use yogurt too, but I guess not if you are avoiding milk.

You can make baked oatmeal too! Here's good recipes that discusses both: (I never use the buckwheat)
