Breakfast Foods for a Sensitive Stomach?

Question

I struggle with eating breakfast because my stomach is very sensitive in the morning. I haven't found any foods that both fuel me and don't make me sick - before this happened I was a big fan of oatmeal, yogurt, & granola. Any ideas on how to modify but remain nutritious?

Is it possible to wait to eat a little while or will you feel worse if you delay/skip breakfast? I generally do not think you should make yourself eat if your body isn't into it, but there might be some exceptions.

Do you know why you don't feel well in the mornings? I have often felt like that when pregnant. In mild cases I was able to eat some dry toast or crackers (I used to keep a sleeve in my nightstand so I could eat a couple before getting out of bed, because even that much motion could make me nauseous). In more severe cases, I have taken medications to reduce nausea. In a case like pregnancy, just eating a tiny bit whenever you can keep it down is advisable, because the longer you go without eating, the worse the nausea tends to get. But other causes may have different solutions. You might want to tackle it from that angle, if it's reasonable.

Other commenters didn't read your post, apparently. You're wondering about how NOT TO UPSET YOUR STOMACH because those things you list CAUSE YOU A STOMACH ACHE, right?

I have a cup of soy milk with one of those liquid chai concentrate mixes every morning. It's not a lot of food, but the protein % is about right even though it's sweet and lazy. How I make it (100 ml tea/300 ml soy milk, give or take) it's 10g of protein, 1g of fiber, ~170 calories. Often I'll have two mugs.

I'm low carb and my stomach is sensitive in the morning also.  I love Greek yogurt with thawed wild blueberries.  Also, unsweetened almond milk with a scoop of vanilla whey protein powder and a scoop of collagen seems easy on my stomach.
