Don’t fret if this recipe just isn’t your style for the first meal of the day- enjoy it for lunch or dinner and try the blueberry chia breakfast porridge recipe instead.
Either way- you will enjoy a hot, fresh, and flavorful meal that is low in amylose, free from mold & mycotoxins, and packed with nutrients. This CIRS approved breakfast saute is the perfect staple meal to use any up any orphan vegetables and keep a very fresh rotation of food in your fridge.

Amylose & food reactions
According to Dr Shoemaker, the low amylose diet is a priority. Taking additional action like removing common inflammatory foods is entirely your decision to make. When recipes include ingredients that you don’t like or your body reacts to in some way, we recommend you avoid any food you negatively react to and substitute a different no-amylose food that does not create discomfort. Some common triggers to keep in mind are: nuts & seeds, dairy, and nightshades. Occasional consumption of some potentially inflammatory whole foods like healthy nuts & seeds, small amounts of egg, fresh vegetables & fruits that are considered nightshades might be tolerated by some people. Use caution and observe reactions to these foods carefully when challenging them after your elimination diet.
Always use fresh ingredients while healing from CIRS. NO dried, cured, canned, jarred, or pre packaged foods are recommended because of the potential for mycotoxins and unaccepted additives.
notes about similar diets, allergies, and food reactions
CIRS approved, moldfreemenu recipes will be low or free of amylose, and slant to AIP (Autoimmune Protocol Diet), Dairy Free/Gluten Free/Whole30/Low-carb, Paleo. The recipes will also not contain fungus, mold, or sugar. If any ingredient is unfavorable for you, omit it and potentially substitute something from the Mold Free Menu list of CIRS approved foods that is similar.
- Eggs are often not tolerated to some degree; causing an inflammatory response. Pay very close attention when reintroducing eggs on your elimination diet; most will need to eliminate eggs for the early stages of healing.
- For those with pain, aching and myalgia, nightshades should be avoided.
- Nuts and seeds contain amylose, and might contain mycotoxins. Eat in moderation or avoid. If nuts and/or seeds are listed on moldfreemenu, they have been selected based on research that they are less likely to contain mycotoxins. ALWAYS store in a cool, dark, dry place.
- Take considerable caution selecting fish & seafood, as many are likely to contain varying amounts of toxins & bacteria. Avoid especially in the early stages of healing or eat in moderation to minimize toxins. More info
- A low amylose diet is beneficial for CIRS recovery according to Dr. Shoemaker. Elevated MMP9 levels can often be reduced by following a strict low or no amylose diet. Ask your health professional to monitor your bloodwork details.
