You could eat anything for breakfast. Left- overs from dinner, a Peanut butter sandwich, etc.

But some traditional foods: gluten-free instant oatmeal, cereals like Chex and gluten-free Special K, Kind, Udi's. Luna, etc protein/ granola bars, Udis muffins, Vans or Eggo frozen waffles, toast with peanut or almond butters or Nutella, fruit and yogurt. I like sliced ham with some shredded cheese warmed up in the microwave or just wrapped around a slice of cheese. I have seen hard boiled eggs at the grocery in the egg section. Glutino " pop tarts".

Edit:

I am assuming you could toast or microwave? These little things let you microwave eggs. Just crack them in and microwave! Get some microwave bacon, too!

Missed the dairy free part, sorry. There are coconut and almond milk yogurts. And you could use almond milk on cereal.

I tend to like bacon and eggs, or coconut flour pancakes for breakfast, but I eat a lot of other foods too: trailmix (nuts, raisins, seeds, coconut, cacao), coconut yogurt, raw veggies with tzaziki of hunnus dip, pepperoni sticks, cheese, coconut cream in my coffee, smoothies and leftovers. I rarely rarely eat cereal, bread or muffins for breakfast. I think the last time I had cereal for breakfast was January - I got a small bag of a cereal called "Holy Crap" that was quite tasty with coconut milk.

 

You could eat anything you want for breakfast. As a senior, you've earned that right.  ;)

Just looked in my freezer - sometimes I microwave some breakfast sausages. I like the applegate ones but there are cheaper gluten-free ones.

I struggle with this one as well because I don't have time or energy to cook anything in the morning either. My usual breakfast is nut butter on gluten free bread. Nutella has milk in it, but Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter is similar and dairy free. (Open Original Shared Link) Otherwise peanut butter is an option if you don't like your breakfast to be too sweet.

 

I also came across a happy find just last weekend when I noticed that the simple truth gluten free toaster waffles happen to also be dairy free. (Open Original Shared Link) You'd never know about the lack of dairy from the front of the box, but the ingredients list on the back shows no dairy. I topped mine with some earth balance spread and maple syrup. Yum.

 

If you're willing to use a blender, you could also whip up dairy free smoothies using any of the non-dairy milks and yogurts that are now available along with whatever fruit strikes your fancy.

 

There are also gluten free/dairy free granola bars.

 

If you're really avoiding all forms of cooking but need some protein in the morning (and are tired of nuts), many grocery stores sell hardboiled eggs.

 

That's all I can think of. I hope it helps. :)

I just make a ton of hardboiled eggs every Sunday and pop them in the fridge. Breakfast is usually two eggs, a piece of fruit, and black coffee. Very low maintenance as long as you are okay cooking the eggs once a week.

Since you say you can't do any cooking:

 

1. Fruits, nuts or both with a diary-free yogurt (Silk, So Delicious, and Almond Dream are a few brand names).

 

2. Katz Gluten Free (website:  Open Original Shared Link ) has several gluten-free and dairy-free breads, cookies, and cakes.  They deliver and they are carried in some stores.  (I really like their stuff.  It's not too sweet, like a lot of gluten-free products seem to be.)  So you can have toast and jam or a sandwich.

 

3. Check with your local community and see if there's a food delivery service for those who are homebound.  If so, they might be able to do gluten-free, dairy-free breakfasts for you that would just need warmed up.

 

4.  Chex cereals (the ones marked "Gluten Free") are both gluten and dairy-free.  Cereal and a non-dairy milk (almond milk, rice milk, soy milk) make a quick breakfast, too.

I do hard boiled eggs a lot too. Full of lots of protein to start off your day. If you don't want to mess with boiling them you can purchase an egg cooker for under $20 and boil them in that.

I know it may sound a little odd, but one of my favorite things to eat when I am on the go around breakfast time is baby carrots and walnuts.   Will sometimes add raisins or some other fruit. Remember you don't have to eat "breakfast" foods only at breakfast time.

When we had our first child, the ped. Dr. taught us to feed him anything he'd eat whenever. He said if he wants pizza for breakfast, let him have it. I was stressing what to fix and when so that is what he taught me. ;)

Hi,

I know that this was written a while ago, but I just joined the forum.  Assuming you can also have quinoa, this is a great recipe (i have it in the oven now).  I make it and then bring a piece to work and heat it up in the mircowave.  I've also used egg beaters in place of the eggs.  It's basically, eggs/egg beaters, milk, garlic, spinach, salt, pepper, spinach, and quinoa.

Enjoy!

A little late but I just joined the group.

For me, fruits or a green smoothie (just water, fruits, some green leaves) or a more substantial green smoothie with raw cacao powder or (hulled) hemp seeds or raw nuts, for example. Add a little vanilla flavor. Or the same with the store-bought almond milk instead of water.

Or toast corn tortillas (I buy one with just organic corn flour, salt and water) and add mashed bananas, cinnamon and honey or other natural sweetener to it.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Thankyou so much for your reply I decided to skip the senna has I've already had very loose stools last few days I've cut my portions down on the low fiber diet too and drinking lots of liquid has I just thought it would be wise to listen to myself too I've probably already done wat the senna would of done myself naturally by drinking clear apple juice which if not on the diet I would have to avoid anyways has I don't tolerate many fruit juices so I'm sure I've done the right thing I did try to contact the department on my letter but weirdly enough it was ringing but then after a while saying wrong number 🤷 but again I'm positive I've done the right thing I'm going to take today very lightly too with low portions and more liquids so yes thankyou for that advise I am very nervous but I have had time to think and read other peoples experiences and not all are bad there is some good advise and reassuring information from people who do these all the time so I'm trying my best to be positive so I can at least settle my mind knowing im doing this to help my own health has this year has been a rollercoaster for me cutting out gluten and lactose was a good idea but I still get flare ups and other symptoms so it definitely is worth a check like you said it was the calprotein that prompted the doctor to refer me again thankyou for your reply it's means a lot for someone to take the time to listen and respond and give uplifting advise  especially to me just now has I'm a bundle of nerves inside getting closer to tomorrow prep so thankyou for that 🙏

      Cruise and GliadinX

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi StevieP I think it is best to take GliadinX Just before, during or just after you eat a food that may have a small amount of gluten.  Taking 2 capsules of GliadinX in the morning will not protect you all day because it will be long gone when you need it. The upper digestive system is where the digestive enzymes break down gluten. The problem with Celiacs is that normal digestion will only break down gluten to the point where the small fragments will still cause a reaction. GliadinX will break down the fragments so that they are too small to start the autoimmune reaction.  The label on my bottle reads'it works in the stomach' and that is ver concentrated so 1 capsule is the recomm Hope this helps/Have a lovely cruise.ended dose for each meal.

      It’s completely understandable to feel confused and anxious—colonoscopy prep can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with symptoms like loose stools and elevated inflammation markers (that high calprotectin and CRP definitely warrant further investigation!). Regarding the senna tablets: The warning about avoiding senna with IBD (like Crohn’s or colitis) is typically because it can irritate an already inflamed colon. Since you don’t yet have a confirmed diagnosis—but your brother has colitis—it might be worth calling your gastroenterologist’s office today to clarify if you should skip the senna given your symptoms and family history. Some clinics have an on-call nurse who can advise quickly. For the prep itself: Plenvu is strong, so if your bowels are already loose, the senna might be overkill. Stick to clear liquids tomorrow (broth, apple juice, etc.) and stay near a bathroom! For anxiety, remember the procedure itself is painless (you’ll likely be sedated), and the prep is the hardest part. Bring a phone charger or book to the clinic, and treat yourself afterward to something gentle on your stomach (like mashed potatoes or yogurt). Hang in there—this is a big step toward answers. You’re doing great advocating for yourself!

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Great question! Wheat straw dishes are typically made from the stalks of wheat plants (which are naturally gluten-free) combined with a binding resin. While the straw itself shouldn’t contain gluten, the safety depends on how the product is processed. Some manufacturers may use wheat-based binders or process the straw in facilities that handle gluten, creating cross-contact risks. To be safe, I’d recommend reaching out to the company directly to ask: 1) If their wheat straw material is tested to confirm it’s free of gluten proteins, and 2) Whether the production line avoids cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients. Many brands now cater to gluten-free consumers and will provide detailed answers. If you’re uncomfortable with the uncertainty, alternatives like bamboo, ceramic, or glass dishes are inherently gluten-free and worry-free. Always better to double-check—your diligence is totally justified!
