I'm looking for suggestions for breakfast from my imaginative GN friends.
I have IBS which means I can't have cereal or anything fibrous , which limits me quite a bit.
I'm on my own , and struggle to come up with something different.
Has anyone got any good ideas for me?
Many thanks in advance. x

Poached eggs on a bed of wilted spinach, I used to react to mushrooms but can manage them now so I’d have them too. Or boiled dippy eggs with carrot “soldiers” if you can’t eat toast. Can you eat gluten/free bread? Greek yogurt with a selection of berries, and chia or flax seeds. Fried egg with bacon, scrambled egg with smoked salmon? I have IBS too but after following the FODMAP elimination method I’ve been able to re-introduce a lot of former trigger foods as long as I don’t have them at the same time, and can enjoy porridge again.

Kippers - we have them regularly. Lots of beneficial omega 3 oils etc.

I really like a couple of slices of eggy bread as a special treat, and it only takes a few minutes to make.

"Proper"' smoked haddock (not that yellow stuff) gently microwaved with. Little unsalred butter and a few tiny microwaved tomatoes.

Smoothies?

Yoghurt, banana, fresh orange juice.

Raw egg, honey, yoghurt or cottage cheese.

Whizzed up in liquidiser.

How long have you got?
Eggs in any shape or form, boiled, poached, scrambled, omelette
Rye bread
Porridge
Bacon sausages - a “full English” tomatoes etc
Fresh fruit salad
Yogurt ( whole milk, not sweetened so-called “diet”) Greek is best
Fresh grapefruit
