Eggs?

OK. So I've been on a full elimination diet for about three weeks now. I 'challenged' corn and was fine. I challenged eggs on Sunday and had diarrhea and just generally didn't feel well. We were also camping, hiking/climbing, overheating, and I got a slight sunburn. All of that added together, I wasn't sure if the eggs were the problem. I was feeling better by the next day, so I waited a couple more days and challenged them again today. I was feeling miserable a few hours later, but it passed very quickly and I was feeling fine again. So just to make SURE it was the eggs, I had more this afternoon and was, again, sick soon along with diarrhea. YUCK!!!

So, I guess that means eggs are off-limits to me now. :( Question: Any of you have (or had) problems with eggs? If so, has it been perminant? Or were you able to go back to eating them after your bodies have healed? If so, how long did that take? Eggs have always been my quick, go-to protien source so it will really suck to have to live without them forever!

Thanks!

Jen

Eggs make me sick and whenever I've unknowingly eaten them, I've gotten sick. I don't think they're like dairy, where some celiacs can go back to dairy once they've healed. Egg intolerances and allergies seem permanent. That's not to say it'll be your experience though.

FYI, it's possible to be allergic or intolerant to the yolk only or the egg white only.

I have always loved eggs. I was very sick when I was born and the first three years of my life were touch and go. About the only thing they could get me to eat was eggs. I figure my body needed the nutrition that was in them and that's why I craved them.

Since starting the diet, it seems I don't LIKE them anymore! They don't make me sick or anything. I used to love mixing a soft boiled eggs with some crumbled up bacon in a bowl of brown rice. I've been doing this once a week for the past few months, but I have stopped because the eggs just don't appeal to me anymore. I have no idea why - unless it's that I'm finally digesting ALL of my food and don't need the extra nutrition?

Eggs and I stopped getting along about 2 years into my gluten free diet. Not sure why this happens. They always made my stomach feel a little challenged, but now I have to avoid them. I can get away with eating baked foods with egg as long as I don't get carried away. They used to be my favorite breakfast item.

I will never touch an egg again. Violent stomach reactions. I have been tested and I do have an IgG allergy. I suppose it could be worse. Eggs are one of the easier things to avoid.

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It...

      Feeling ill

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches. Really works well without hurting the digestive tract. Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines. Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Check with your doctor and nutritionist. If you follow the updated...

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity...

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches.  Really works well without hurting the digestive tract.  Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines.  Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Check with your doctor and nutritionist.   If you follow the updated gluten challenge guidelines, you can wait until two weeks (minimum) before your appointment, then eat lots of gluten, like six slices of gluten containing bread or "name your poison".   Here's the Updated Gluten Challenge Guidelines: Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer. While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.   Keep in mind that there are different amounts of gluten in different kinds of bread and gluten containing foods.  Pizza crust and breads that are thick and chewy contain more gluten than things like cake and cookies.   References: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/the-gluten-challenge/ And... Evaluating Responses to Gluten Challenge: A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Dose Gluten Challenge Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7878429/?report=reader  "In our study, limited changes in Vh:celiac disease (villi height vs crypt depth - aka damage to the small intestine)  following 14-day challenge with 3 g of gluten were observed, in accordance with Sarna et al.  While the 3 g dose was sufficient to initiate an immune response, as detected by several biomarkers such as IL-2, the 10 g dose was required for enteropathy within the study time frame. Based on our data, we would suggest that gluten challenge should be conducted over longer durations and/or using doses of gluten of ≥ 3 g/day to ensure sufficient histological change can be induced." Keep us posted on your progress!

If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
