Breakfast

Apparently breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It's meant to give you energy for the rest of the day ahead, very much needed for me as I'm always exhausted.

Do you eat breakfast? That's my question as I used to when I was little but in my teens my sensitivity to pain etc got a lot worse and now I have to be really careful what I eat as my GI problems and pain affect me greatly and it makes eating difficult especially in the morning.

I've taken to eating a cut up banana in the morning, it leaves my stomach aching after but I don't feel sick which is nice. Plus it's one of the five a day... So that can only mean goodness for the body I hope.

I wonder what the link is with GI problems and autism? I guess there is actually a link. I know a lot of members here struggle with food like I do so it can't just be coincidence.

  • I am not naturally a breakfast person - I find waking up and starting the day very difficult and my stomach takes even longer.

    But for the last year or two I’ve made an effort to have porridge or cereal in the morning.

    But recently I’ve been reading that they both cause a glucose spike that just makes you tired later in the day.

    Apparently we should ideally have a savoury breakfast. They’ll probably decide that’s wrong too at some point.

    I'm like that - takes me an absolute age to get started in the mornings lol usually still just as tired as I was when I went to bed. And never in the mood for breakfast.

    I've been told by my doctor and my dietician to start eating breakfast but I really don't know whether I could stomach it. I doubt it. Most foods hurt.

    Most likely No mouth
