- Chicken soup. Many different garden herbs and spices can add to the variety. Curry is a favorite. Coconut milk added AFTER it's cooked, just before serving.
I'd also be lost without eggs.
Any food for lunch or dinner is also good for breakfast. -

My wondeful husband starts my day with a delicious shake. Protein powder from Trader Joes. Plain yogurt. Frozen strawberries. Unsweetened cranberry juice. Ice cube. All mixed in a blender, served full16oz glass.
I am not hungry again until 4:00. Then I have snack...maybe nuts & fruit or yogurt. Then light dinner at 7:30.
If I miss my shake I feel awful. You can use any fruit in it.

Oops, forgot to mention I'm also intolerant of coconut. Fastest way to get my skin to break out using any hair or body product with coco-something in it and forget about eating coconut without regret.
Soup! I hadn't thought of soup for breakfast. Here's a question for those of you that know the anti-yeast list--would butternut squash be o.k.? I could use pureed beans in it for protein...
I frequently have chicken soup and sometimes stir fried veggies for lunch and supper so I'd really like to have something different at breakfast (picky, right?). Butternut squash soup with some spice added might do the trick.
Farraday, your husband does sound wonderful making breakfast for you. How sweet.
Thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em coming.

What is in your Trader Joes protein shake?
We don't have a Trader Joe's locally and are looking for a good quality protein shake.

- lpkayak,
casein is from dairy - it can be in various processed foods so reading the ingredients matters if you are dairy free, avoid casein is part of that, too.
Hey, I'd be lost without eggs, too. Already gluten free and usually dairy free but eggs would be missed.
Could you eat duck eggs? I've never had them and wonder if they may taste gamey - but it might be work exploring as eggs offer such excellent nutrition and are so quick and versatile.
I hope you are avoiding them for reasons of allergy rather than the bad and erroneos press of recent past. They are excellent food - if one is not allergic, of course.
Still, there are thousands of other foods in the world. At least hundreds and likely dozens you may not have even considered.
You might make a date with a produce manager at a good grocery or farmer's market. -

I have huge gastro issues and this is the only thing I can eat.
Some days it is chicken and roasted brussels sprouts, other days it might be fried hamb. with diagonal sliced fried carrots with it.
Some days I eat baked salmon with green beans.
It has gotten where I eat to survive not for pleasure.
I hope to get this corrected in the future.
Looking for a great LD friendly gastro guy. Anyone know one?

I often eat leftovers.
Today I had some turkey meatballs and some blackberries.
Other days I may eat baked yams and baked cabbage, roast beef, etc.
If you are stumped, make a list of all the foods that you like, raw or cooked, that you can eat.
Then try to plan ahead as much as possible to have those foods on hand.
Sometimes I roast alot of veggies, etc all at once so that I have enough for several days.

Thanks for all these suggestions. Duck eggs never crossed my mind. I'll have to see if I can locate some for an occasional treat--maybe at a local farm market.
Lymetoo, I've spent days trying to figure what you're telling me with the link. Is it calories are too high or that carbs are too high?
Calories aren't a problem for me--have trouble gaining weight. And with regard to carbs, if I'm limiting fat to 15g or less and limiting protein from animals, it's carbs that are left. Help!
The anti-yeast list I copied off Lymenet years ago said eat:
"vegetables of color .. green, yellow, red, purple, etc... like squash, broccoli, cabbage, kale, bok choy, sweet potatoes, celery, spinach, romaine lettuce, collard greens, broccoli slaw, brown rice, basmati rice, millet"
Y'all are convincing me leftovers are the way to go and Dekrator's suggestion to make a list of the foods I like & can eat and work from there is soooo practical, thanks. It
makes sense to cook a bunch at a time.
Cozynana, my LLMD was far more effective helping with the gastro symptoms than any of the gastroenterologists I went to over the years.
Has yours been addressing your symptoms? Elimination diet, probiotics, and supplements are what have helped. It took time.

My breakfast today. Yumm. Blueberries will follow soon.
Dinner tonight:
black beans & carrots dancing with saut�ed onions & garlic with ground cumin seed & turmeric, a dash of chili powder. Simmered in chicken broth.
With Wild Rice and Red Chard.
For added flavor, when you saut� the onions and garlic, near the end, just before they caramelize - add the spices and let them get direct heat for a couple minutes before
adding beans (that have been soaked and rinsed.
Add beans and THEN add boiling water, or broth. The idea is to shock the beans with the hot water.
Do NOT salt beans until they are done or they will never get done.
Tomorrow's breakfast? Likely left overs from tonight's dinner. -

Forgot to add that you can now buy Trader Joes items on Amazon.com now. I was so happy.
I used to go with my mom and dad to a Trader Joes in Az. and loved it.
Just sad I can't eat much from there now.
Hope to get this digestive thing taken care of so I can eat more and enjoy their food.
I liked them because I am celiac and they had a gluten free brochure of products they carry.

I lived on quinoa porridge for breakfast while treating lyme. Here is the recipe:
Quinoa is classified as a seed, so it is permitted on the anti-yeast diet. I made a double portion and then poured it into small one-serving containers. Microwave in the morning and eat!
Microwave some turkey bacon to make a more filling breakfast.
You can get the quinoa flakes in a health food store.
Whole quinoa is a great substitute for pasta. Cook 1 cup quinoa in 2 cups of water for plain quinoa. But, I like to cook it with a chicken bullion cube to give it flavor. It is great. You can flavor the quinoa with anything you like--sauteed onions, etc.
Once you try quinoa, I believe you will really like it. Look up quinoa recipes on the Internet.
