RIP eggs

Tofu scramble is my favourite! Firm or extra firm tofu... the type that crumbles is best. For those in the UK, try Cauldron brand.

If your tofu is too soft, you can firm up tofu by freezing it and then defrosting it. Freezing it causes some of the water to release from the tofu. You'd need to press it then, to squeeze the water out.

My fave way to scramble tofu is to fry some onion/scallions/shallots or whatever of those you have handy, then toss in some cherry tomatoes. Then add crumbled tofu. Add some 'black salt' which is not actually black, but is a sulphuric salt, and gives it a savoury, eggy flavour. Add a tiny bit of turmeric for flavour and colour. Then add some fresh spinach. When the spinach is wilted, serve it as is, or over wholemeal or sourdough toast. I like to have avocado, seasoned with salt and freshly squeezed lemon or lime, and fresh basil. Avocado and basil pair wonderfully.

Sometimes I mash avocado onto toast for breakfast. Salt, pepper, lemon juice and basil. Perhaps with some fresh tomato.

Sauteed mushrooms with garlic, black peper and salt on toast is another.

Or you can have a big breakfast with all of those things. Take out the toast for a lower carb version.

I hope some of those ideas sound good to you.

Crohn's makes it trickier, since I don't know if you can tolerate fresh veggies or fresh fruit, but you might look to other cultures for things eaten at breakfast.

The stereotypical Israeli breakfast spread includes many things that we Americans consider lunch food, including salad (often just chopped cucumbers and tomatoes), fish (often tuna salad), yogurt, olives, fresh fruit (often watermelon) and bread.

Asian cultures often include fish for breakfast.

P.S. There's a number of us with digestive woes trying to revive/start a support group. Look for the recent thread on IBS if you are interested. (This is exactly the sort of question that I am hoping to see discussed)

drain a small can of sardines, mash sardines with a fork in a little bowl, chop some green onions and some fresh herbs if you have any, mix with a tiny bit of mayo. Serve on a piece of toast. Mmm, yummy!

I made mayo in culinary school. It's made with eggs. Not the best thing for someone who has trouble with them.

There's always vegan mayo.
