Nausea foods that are LC

Hey there. I've been getting morning nausea lately for some reason and my usual LC breakfast (2 chicken sausages + coffee w almond milk) is not helping. Any ideas for good non-nauseating foods that are low carb? Eggs or anything greasy also seem gross right now, and I'm allergic to dairy. Thanks for any ideas!
 
Soya yoghurt, a few berries and some crushed nuts and/or seeds?

Fish (mackerel, kippers)?
 
Anything you fancy - last nights leftovers, cooked meats, It's only social convention that says you have to eat a specific thing in the morning!
 
In addition to @Hotpepper20000’s suggestion, I’ve used ginger tea to settle nausea (just one of the supermarket brands) as I’m not a fan of mint teas.

Note the warning about peppermint tea for anyone with gastroesophageal reflux disease (not suggesting this is the OP’s problem) in this article: https://www.livestrong.com/article/479396-the-best-herbal-tea-for-nausea/
 
I know that artificial sweeteners aren't great but I find a sugar free diet ginger ale helps with the nausea I get before/during migraines. Ginger tea is ok, but fo rme, the fizzy drink works better.

My breakfast is a mix of chia seeds, milled flax seeds and oatbran - if you don't like the consistency of chia seeds try 12g oatbran, 11g flaxseed and 7g chia, otherwise 10g of each - with water/milk/coconut milk and cinnamon. You can add vanilla, etc - even a little ginger.
 
Hate to confess to a vegan breakfast but my porridge is half a can of coconut milk, 1 egg, 1 tbsp flaxseed mix, 1 tbsp coconut flour. Whoosh up the egg a bit then heat it all up until it thickens. I eat it with nut butter but berries could also work.
 
How about avocado? Also the ginger things have helped me with nausea before. Not so much ginger ale (usually no ginger in it) but candied ginger. There must be something ginger-y. A lc gingersnap?

I use the Diet Dr recipe, similar to @NicoleC1971 ’s , it has an egg in it but doesn’t taste eggy:

Love that recipe and you very kindly did not point out that the non eggy egg makes this non Vegan!
It is also a very good example of a low carb but high fibre recipe which the WHO should approve of (see this morning's warning agains low carb diets putting us at risk of insufficient fibre consumption because we are not getting our healthy wholegrains).
 
Thanks; a grain free porridge appeals to me so I'll give that a look. I used to make a grain-free granola that was delightful but all the sharp little bits (coconut shreds/seeds/nut pieces) started giving me gum problems. However, cooking would soften that up.

I do think it's acid reflux related, caused by stress or hormones or food intolerance or something. I had it for a few years about a decade ago (turned out to be a food allergy issue back then) and got so sick of ginger...candied ginger and ginger tea kind of gross me out now because I associate it with nausea!
 
Just coming back to say thanks again. I made porridge this morning with almond flour, flax seeds, an egg, and coconut oil (topped with nuts & fruit) and it was amazing. Thank you!
 
Oh dear - is there a secret rule I'm missing that says low carb breakfasts have to include carnivorous offerings ?? (Just joking! ) If I eat any breakfast, it often doesn't, and neither do many of my other meals. but I've never considered them "vegan"!

I like salad for breakfast. Nice crunchy romaine lettuce shredded and add whatever else you fancy with full fat mayo
 
Do you think the nausea might be a reaction to the almond milk?
