You are welcome fren! Try to get pastured+organic eggs if you can. The farmed ones have way too much omega-6 (this is inflammatory unless balanced out by increasing your omega-3 intake).
Some of my favorites for breakfast:
Eggs + generous fat (butter/olive oil/bacon/lard/tallow)
Oats (least anti-nutrients out of all whole-grains AFAIK, cook longer for best result), add coconut oil/milk, some seasalt and white sugar or honey.
Orange juice (I add gelatin or hydrolyzed collagen)
Coffee+gelatin+sugar+fat (for you I suggest using ghee as it's devoid of casein and milk solids, although I would recommend casein as one of your protein sources once you are able to incorporate more dairy)
When I crave potatoes (this varies for me, sometimes I eat them daily for a month and then take a break from them as I don't crave them) I will make a lot of mashed potato in advance (cooking potatoes for 2-4 hours for best result), and then frying some of it alongside my eggs, sometimes I make and eat this 2-3 times daily as a tiny meal especially if I workout a lot.
That may be my problem with inflammation and eggs as I often switch between the brown pastured eggs and normal store bought eggs. I'll try sticking with pastured eggs for awhile to see if that makes a difference. I also have ghee available so I'll make that change too. I'm going to try to add more turmeric into my foods and get away from processed foods. I know what to do, but just need to stick to it. My aunt who passed away recently lived a long and healthy life into her nineties as she never ate a lot of sugar. She had her mind. I've been reading a lot of books on the dangers of sugar, corn syrup and gluten being linked to dementia and Alzheimer's. This original post is helping me reevaluate what health changes I need to make for myself! Thank you everyone for your comments!
Turmeric is good in small amounts, don't forget to add a small amount of black pepper to make it bio-available (enhances body uptake by +1000%) as well as a small amount of fat. half a teaspoon of turmeric daily is more than enough.
If you have issues sticking to it, try to identify your craving and replace it with a "clean/beneficial" one-ingredient version of it, then eat away to your heart's desire. Adding a lot more fat into your diet initially also helps a lot with cravings.
Thank you for sending me that link! Ray Peat's article "Leakiness, aging, and cancer" talks about inflammation and mentions your gelatin theory: "Antioxidants, thyroid hormone, progesterone, and anti-inflammatory agents, including glycine or gelatin, niacin, and saturated fats, can prevent, and in many cases reverse, these degenerative inflammatory processes". Maybe this is a start compared to the multiple doctors whom haven't helped me yet.

I am praying for your swift recovery and hopeful that these guidelines will help you on your path to impeccable health.
About niacin, it's great. Just be sure to take it in niacinamide form or your skin becomes red and tingly for an hour or 2.
