Breakfast ideas for upset stomach?

15 replies

Anyone has any thoughts on Breakfast ideas?

I stopped dairy around 2 years ago as it was upsetting my stomach. Moved over to Oat Milk and cereal since then but find that it also upsets my stomach first thing after eating.

I get bored with toast and it takes longer in the morning and do have much time

What could I have as a breakfast thats filling for most of the morning that isn’t these two?

Just looking for some ideas?

What do you drink with your breakfast?

Boiled eggs

Toast doesn’t take that much more than cereal surely? Maybe you’re getting an upset tummy from eating quickly?

I would get up a bit earlier tbh.

Maybe try thin bagels - I prefer them to toast or cereal

Cold meat, cheese, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, kippers Grin

Does all cereal/milk affect you? Have you tried porridge, maybe with a different milk substitute? If you have a slow cooker, you can do porridge overnight - v quick in the mornings!

The 3 most easy-to-digest substances are eggs, bananas, and rice.

A banana and an egg liquidised with some rice flour and a bit of baking powder will make an excellent pancake batter.

Also, do you drink tea in the morning.? It doesn’t have a good effect on me first thing, and apparently the tannin can be an irritant to the digestive system.

Scrambled eggs
Smoothies

Scrambled eggs in the microwave - takes 60-90 seconds depending on your power. Make sure you bet the eggs after 30 then 50 seconds.

Porridge made with water?

TammyR224570 · 21/10/2021 14:46

Thanks all for the suggestions.

I did try Bananas for a while so may go back to those, and see.
Either that or possibly cereal bars?

Porridge made with water?
Is that gruel? Grin

Not at all, I believe it’s the most traditional way to make it. Once you add some nice toppings (honey, chopped nuts and banana is a fave here) you don’t even notice it’s not got milk in.

A definition of gruel is ‘a thin porridge’, so, to my mind, water-based porridge fits the bill Smile However, your description of the way you make it sounds lovely, so I might actually give it a go!
