Any breakfast suggestions??

I know there are varieties of jam (preserves) available in low/no sugar, I use the strawberry, that could be a spread on toast. There's probably sugar-free peanut butter available, too. In Europe I got used to eating ham slices and cheese on a roll for breakfast... even though it seems like lunch food but I got used to it and it provided lots of protein, which is good for breakfast. Do you eat fruit? That could be an option.

Have you found that a low sugar diet helps your symptoms? Was it hard to adjust to it, or didn't you eat much sugar in the first place? That might be something I'd try in the future... maybe. I might miss chocolate too much

Hopefully other people will have more ideas for you.

Fruit smoothies, this is how I make mine...

plain yogurt (excellent probiotic benefit to it), a splash of pineapple juice and a cut up banana all in the food processor and what a yummy and nutritious drink.

ok, so I am a little strange, but my nutritionist wanted me to have protein in the morning so she suggested (and I have now for months) eating ground turkey burger - I season it how I like it (garlic, onion, pepper and parsley). I cook up a pound of it and then I'm set for several days. I just reheat it w/ a little chicken broth and have a piece of toast.....

PS. It would be a good idea to read the labels on your low / no sugar processed foods. A lot of them contain sugar substitues that can exacerbate d and other gut problems.

Hi I just have the old fashion corn flakes now I used to have french toast with honey or syrup and I eat toast with jelly or honey. I pretty much stick to the same breakfast and it is my favotite meal of the day .lol gail

   I went to a homopathic dr.  and he told me no sugar which is impossible .  I don't eat cakes and candy  :(   Although once in a while I will treat myself.  I try not to eat too much added sugar in things.  It's hard.  Also if the sugar is way down in the ingredients label i ws told the sugar isn't too much

Hope this helps

It's not impossible to avoid sugar, I know it seems so but it's really not because sugar is added to processed foods, and processed foods are not recomended for IBDers along with fast-foods, caffeine, animal fat and such...

I'd sooner eat a banana or whatever fruits you can tolerate for breakfast then anything out of a box/can which is processed.

Hmmmm, a nice breakfast can be toast (rye or whatever you like) spread with almond butter (smooth of course!) and some sliced banana on top.

For all you morning time egg eaters out there...Do you worry about your cholesterol when eating upwards of 7 eggs a week (if you have one for breakfast every day)?

I know some eat them for protein, but from what I have seen they only have about 6g's protein per egg.

oatmeal rules. get the plain rolled or steel cut oats. cadilac it up with pure maple syrup, cinnamon (not cinnamon sugar) and/or fruit.

nature's path makes great granola cereals.

ezekiel makes sprouted grain cereals = easier to digest. they also make bread (ie toast) and english muffins.

toast a bagel, use a kefir or cream cheese spread and top with egg.

eat fruit in the morning. i always have some kind of berry.

make pancakes if you have time.

there are gluten free waffles.

fruit smoothies are good (i think those are covered already)

you do have to read labels but it is very easy to eat breakfast and have no to limited added sugar. i do it every morning. watch out for jams and jellies. fruit is naturally high in sugar but most of them ADD sugars or other synthetic ingredients, so scrutinize the label very carefully.
