Egg Allergy?

I have been suspecting an egg allergy for a while. Yesterday morning, I made scrambled eggs for myself and my toddlers. I haven't eaten plain eggs for a while. We went to the store shortly after we ate, and I couldn't make it through the trip w/out going to the bathroom. I was so embarrassed because the cleaning guy showed up just after I did, and he let me go in. Well, I took a few minutes while he waited outside. I know he was wondering what was taking so long. :o

Well, all day yesterday, I had mild diarrhea. Starting around 3am this morning, I have had BAD D and gas. And I keep burping and is smells like a rotten egg or something.

Does this sound like an egg allergy? I have eggs in other cooked products like bread, muffins, etc and I dont' get D. But I can't seem to eat them alone. Any ideas?

Thanks!

It sounds more like an intolerance to me. I'm the same way--I can not eat eggs plain, but do fine if there are one or two in a recipe.

I get nausea about 4 hours after--and I've had allergy skin-scratch testing, so I'm sure I'm not allergic.

I have a delayed allergy to eggs, fairly high number on the test and when I eat eggs I get sick to my stomach, dizzy, out of sorts and fumble around a lot. It's rather weird and disconcerting but still there.

Yes, it sounds like an intolerance to me. When I was younger I could eat eggs without problems. Then slowly, I developed more and more problems to them. First it was with eggs by themselves, then also with dishes with appreciable egg in them. Now I seem to react to every bit of egg.

The only time I had egg for 7 years was in baked products, and this was very occasional (like holidays). But Enterolab testing still showed me as reacting by creation of antibodies, even though I didn't notice a reaction in terms of symptoms.

I have an egg allergy. I can't eat even a speck of egg. Become very ill. Throwing up and coming out the other end as well. The first time I eat an egg, it seems to take about 16 hours for me to get sick. But if I am fool enough to eat an egg again the day after, I will get sick about 30 minutes later. This happened to me before I confirmed the allergy. I became so sick though that I vowed never to eat another egg after the 2nd such incident. The first time I passed it off as food poisoning. Wrong!

I have the same thing. I can't eat eggs straight but can eat things with some eggs in them, liked baked goods. I don't test positive to egg allergy. I get horrible stomach cramps and constipation that last for most of a day. Its more painful than gluten actually.

Iam very allergic to eggs (both yolk and whites). For me, I get horrible stomach pain/cramping and then I seriously can't move for the rest of the day!

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
