What do you all eat for breakfast?

Hi,

Interested to hear what other UC sufferers are eating in the morning….

I have recently cut out oats in line with the SCD diet and swapped to fruit but feel very aware that fructose isn't ideal either.

I don't eat wheat so that rules out most other breakfast alternatives I can think of.

I would be glad to hear your suggestions.

Hi Jessa,

I've been on SCD with good results and have 2 hard boiled eggs in the morning with SCD yogurt. You can also have cheese instead of the yogurt. I can eat this no problem when flaring.

Raw fruit can be tough in the AM depending on the person. Bananas with brown spots are never a problem for me or avocado.

Just keep a food diary and note your symptoms for 1-2 months.

I have an egg every morning ... scrambled, fried, soft boiled, with Canadian bacon or regular bacon (I try and buy a low nitrate brand). I second avocados. Mid-morning, I make a smoothie with lactose free kefir and coconut milk, banana, blueberries, and fresh ginger. I add in a veggie protein powder (I like the Aloha brand cause it has no sugar or whey), potato starch, chia seeds, and collagen peptides.

Puffed millet with goat milk. Homemade GF bread topped with homemade jam made from vegetables. Mug of hot water.

Lately i eat banana, pineapple, or cantaloupe for breakfast. On weekends i make batter and have waffles or pancakes.

Chicken breast..or eggs and bacon. Mostly protein. I will buy gluton free tortillas and use that for sandwiches...

I avoid milk and gluton....😱😖

Boiled eggs and yogurt are probably the SCDers best friend. Me, personally, I eat omelettes with veggies, shrooms and cheese, home fries, toast with butter... sometimes soft boiled egg with hot sauce and a chicken sausage on some toast loaded up with salty butter... or brioche french toast with vermont maple syrup and a side of berries, topped with whip and powdered sugar. Sometimes if I am really in a mood for something different, I go for the huevos rancheros - that's always nice with the red salsa, spice, beans and tortilla, some cheese... breakfast is fun. Lots of coffee or cappuccino too of course.

My stomach is growling reading this, you should open up a breakfast-restaurant! Sounds so delicious!

I don't have gluten issues & do fine with lactose-free milk so I like to have plain Cheerios or spoonsize shredded wheat with blueberries, or steel-cut Irish oatmeal with 100% maple syrup & bluebs, 4 oz. Florida Natural o.j., + 8 oz. Evian water to wash down my maintenance med. When flaring: Pillsbury farina & plain scrambled or hard-boiled egg are the best. Experience has taught me to be consistent with breakfast, especially; then the rest of the day my gut behaves reasonably. I generally cannot tolerate ice-cold anything in AM-- so I take milk & juice out of the fridge & pour my portions to warm up a bit at least half an hour before consuming. / Old Hat (36 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)

I have either 3 boiled eggs, or a 2 egg omelette. If it's the boiled eggs, I only eat one yolk. The eggs are cage free, all that good stuff. Lol. I'll have it with bimbo white bread toasted. I'll also have a cup of Lipton decaffeinated tea. Weekends, my mother in law usually cooks breakfast. Which would be omelettes with onions, scallions, and tomatoes. Turkey bacon, chicken sausage, toast, and blueberries. Occasionally avocados.

Please make it an all-day breakfast restaurant as well. It grinds my gears when I feel like a delicious breakfast from the menu but they stopped serving it two hours ago. I'm not a morning eater, so even if I got to the restaurant at 8am or whatever, most of that would be too much for me at that time of day.

Right now I'd go for the soft boiled egg with hot sauce and a chicken sausage on some toast loaded up with salty butter.

Bialy or bagel with cheese, turkey sausage sandwich
Oatmeal with homemade applesauce
soft boiled eggs on toast

If im not flaring (pretty much now) - I eat whatever I want. I have been staying away from whole grains lately.. i think they give me a little more problems (Fiber). White breads and sourdoughs do good for me. I try to keep artificial sugars low.

My current dietary restrictions are dairy, peanuts, and too much eggs. I could eat an egg or two but any more and it seems to give me issues.

Honestly I make smoothies in my ninja mostly for breakfast (spinach, shredded carrots, coconut milk from the can, strawberries, banana, blueberries, splash of unsweetened almond milk and pea or rice protein powder. My stomach does really well with smoothies in the morning.

Special K original for me as it has zero fibre
