For those of you doing the low carb thing, what do you eat for breakfast? I like carbs because they fill me up until lunch. Eggs are not my favorite and I know they would disgust me if I ate them more than once or twice a week, so what is filling and low carb? This is complicated for me because I have interstitial cystitis and many things with high potassium like bananas irritates my bladder.

Greek yogurt or cottage cheese... If you can't tolerate any lactose at all you can make your own lactose free yogurt a la SCD (google SCD yogurt).
Natural peanut butter (without added sugar) is really filling and low carb.
You can eat anything in the morning even if it isn't breakfast food, too
Often I have leftovers from dinner, like roasted chicken, sweet potatoes, etc.

i have eliminated all starchy carbs and simple sugars from my diet ..it has controlled my bacteria overgrowth issues..

you can also buy lactose free yogurt. Green Valley is the brand. they have other lactose free things like kefir and sour cream too
I do a lot of smoothies with lactose free kefir and fresh fruit. and if you are still hungry after that. eat a big tablespoon of peanut butter!
also of course lots of eggs. have to mix it up though. poached one day. scrambled with cheese the next. omelet with smoked salmon the next, omelet with spinach and feta the next.. get my gist here.

Thanks. It looks like, just like most things, some research is the way to start. I've been in the thinking stage for a while because of chronic pouchitis or overgrowth. I'm tired of cipro. It has worked well for me for almost ten years, but I worry about the possible long term consequences. Knowing me, I'll think for a while longer and then slowly incorporate changes.
I eat nuts for breakfast. i also take psyllium fiber several times a day with lots of water. I have gone from chronic pouchitis, to almost two years with no antibiotics. Any time I feel it coming on I go heavy on the fiber and it knocks it out.
