We all do it sometimes, skipping breakfast that is. But medical research has shown that this can do more harm than good. A healthy breakfast can do wonders for you; the nutrients and energy you obtain in the morning will significantly help to fuel you through out the day. While ICers often need to avoid many fruits (and juices, preserved meats, and for some either whole eggs or part of the egg, there are lots of wonderful breakfast ideas available for those with IC. Try homemade muffins, recipes with pears, blueberries, or blackberries. If eggs are not a concern for you try to incorporate them into your breakfast, perhaps as an omelette with a bladder friendly cheese like mozzarella and green peppers (which are loaded with vitamins). As many ICers are sensitive to preservatives and artificial foods, it’s wise to avoid the sugar laden, processed cereals and breakfast pastries and switch to something like oatmeal with honey, dried blueberries or if you have a hankering for something sweet, white chocolate chips or carob chips. Just try to make breakfast a part of your daily routine, and keep it as healthy as possible – your bladder will thank-you through out the rest of the day.
