about 20 oz of Powerade

4 eggs beaten with Basil, Finely Ground Black Pepper, Parsley
Sliced Green Onion, Chopped Green Bell Pepper (skinned), both cooked very soft
Polks Smoked Sausage (Original) chopped
Olive Oil & Margarine
Sharp Cheddar Cheese

That's all scrambled in a pan until the curds are small and creamy. Of course the steps are more then that, you saute the veggies with the sausage in the butter and olive oil and you don't need much oil because the sausage will let out a bit. Then when that's cooked (the veggies mainly) you pour in the mixture of egg and herbs. You salt and cheese right before its done.

Eggs should be good for just about anyone and when you scramble them like I do you can change it up to fit your needs. By cooking you control the seasoning. You can mix just about anything in it. It's so quick and can be prepped the night before.

So anyways I"m flaring since 2010 and realized that sometimes I think foods hurt me but they don't. I'll have a bad day and try to assume it was some food. It's taken a long long time to realize that stuff like mild peppers, milk, butter, and veggies cooked very soft don't bother my gut at all. Not one bit. I used to think it did - but the correlation started to go away. I do fine with this. Now I'm eating a lot because I am on steroids heh not to mention its good I'm eating! I think I'm getting better after all these years!

Milk doesn't bother me - but after having a sodium and potassium crash last month with hospital stay ... I figured I just need to keep the electrolyte coming. I drink 3 powerades a day depending on how much or what I do that day.

Scrambled eggs, one yolk, two whites and Canadian Bacon. Sometimes I add in a piece of Dave's Killer Bread. Later in the morning I eat a piece of fruit for a snack.

At work, I have the same thing daily, Cinnamon raison bagel toasted with cream cheese, drinkable yogurt and a nutri grain breakfast bar -blueberry, with a Lialda. Boring but gets the job done until lunch.

One egg, one egg white and corn grits. am on a low residue diet because I am flaring. Eggs and grits taste pretty good to me. I make the grits with almond milk instead of water.

I usually have 1 or 2 cups of coffee with half n half and a couple eggs cooked in coconut oil.

My weekday breakfast is a home-made chocolate muffin with chocolate chips (what can I say I like chocolate). My DW makes different kinds of muffins each week. A cup of tea (either Earl Gray or French Vanilla at the moment). Also a few spoon fulls of store-brand vanilla yogurt with brown sugar, raisins, and oats sprinkled on top. Yum.

Weekdays, I generally have an egg over-medium, a piece of toast made from homemade bread, a banana (my daughter generally eats about half of it, though), a glass of milk and a cup of coffee.

On the weekends, I'll generally make from-scratch pancakes, waffles, or French toast, often with bacon or sausage. Less often I'll make scrambled eggs and from-scratch biscuits. This time of year I also generally make a big bowl of cooked apples (peel and slice apples, add butter and a smidge of sugar if they're super tart apples, and nuke 'til mushy).

Laughing duck- do you think psyllium would work on that recipe in lieu of elm? Do you mind sharing it?

I have never tried psyllium, but a quick google search says it can be used as an egg substitute (said 1 tsp plus 3 tablespoons water is one egg). Maybe I will try the psyllium this week and see how it turns out!

My recipe for pancakes:

1 cup buckwheat flour
1 cup of milk or substitute (I am dairy free so use a mix of canned coconut milk with water)
1 tbs vegetable oil
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg (or egg replacer, I use slippery elm plus 3 tbs water)


I also add spices like cinnamon and a splash of vanilla, depending on what taste I feel like. Lately I've been throwing in some baked pumpkin for "pumpkin spice pancakes" since I have some around. I used to throw in a cup of frozen blueberries, but discovered that aggregated my colitis. It's a recipe that can be changed around as you can see!


I have just tried this recipe...with gluten free products and I am hooked! Very nice! yeah

Apple and pear puree! (Im currently having a flare so I'm living off of purées and smoothies)

Thanks for your contributions all of you blush

I guess i am too chicken to try eggs tongue

Chicken Shawarma (my version) [ works as a dinner too ]

- boiled chicken cut in small fine thin slices
- add to a hot pan/grill (with some butter/oil)
- stir it for a bit with salt, thyme, a dash of vinegar/lemon and also you could put some onion powder until it starts to get some color.
- add small diced tomato and bell pepper and just stir and turn off the heat
- in a white pita spread a small amount of light mayonnaise or tahini sauce, then add all of the mix from the pan and roll it
- optional : add thin pickled cucumber to the bread
- after rolling you could toast it a bit, or eat it right away

Banana
Bacon & grits (only when I'm feeling ok)
Egg, ham, onion omelet, no cheese
If I'm really not feeling like food, then just a non-dairy protein shake. Orgain vanilla is good, kinda $ tho

I try to start mornings with warm lemon water, sometimes a little honey. It's supposed to be good for buncha things, but I like how comforting it is and it's great for skin!

I have a smoothie that contains about 4 oz. of blueberries, 6 oz. of coconut milk, a couple ounces of water, a banana, and 1 scoop of whey protein powder (Isopure Unflavored).

I have a similar diet to the one posted in your signature...mostly SCD. I'm on a bunch of meds though too. Its awesome you do so well without meds!
Posted 10/10/2014 4:05 AM (GMT 0)
nothing wrong with meds dude - I'd take em if I needed em - but my whole body is much happier without grains, not just my colon - so why muck it up by doing drugs when I don't need to -

i'm lucky and count my blessings every day -

1. One half cup oatmeal, pour in some water, heat for one minute, stir, heat for another minute.
2. Put honey in oatmeal.
3. Wish I had remembered to buy cinnamon to add into oatmeal.
4. Cut up fruit if available... today I had a very ripe banana in the oatmeal as well.

If I remember to buy orange juice I have that too. Then sometimes I eat an apple on the way to work as well.

Also, if I feel stressed and we have cookies I put them in the hot oatmeal instead of fruit. We used to do it as kids with my dad, so it kind of takes me back.

Another breakfast I really like is to do a couple eggs over medium, a piece of toast with butter, and hashbrowns.

Another is to have potatoes cooked up as home fries of sorts, and have kale steamed up and then mixed in.
