Members offered a range of breakfast ideas for someone managing diabetes, low renal function, and IBS, with suggestions including veggie smoothies with celery, carrots, almonds, and banana, multigrain muffins with chia seeds, and eggs as a protein-focused option. Several members emphasized the importance of cutting back on carbs and grains, with one noting that even a single slice of bread can cause blood sugar spikes, while another recommended reducing red meat for kidney health and trying pine nut oil for IBS relief. A recurring theme was the need to tailor meals to individual tolerances, as what works for one person may not work for another due to different dietary restrictions and sensitivities.

Eat all the veggies you want cut back on carbs switch to whole wheat and whole grain bread and eat high fiber cereals. Eat healthy snacks between meals to keep your blood sugars level with no drastic drop between meals

I make multi grain muffins at night so I have them available in the morning. I always add chia seeds to the batter for protein and fibre.

Protein is the key food to eat

I would cut out the carbs including the seeds and grains especially if you have IBS. My specialist recommended to cut back on red meat as this seems to affect the kidneys adversely. My wife has IBS and she uses pine nut oil in oil and tablet form which has helped her tremendously.
