Yes, my ELISA test diagnosed allergy to egg white. I hadn't noticed symptoms, but I was also eating my other allergens before that test. However, whenever I got flu shots (cultured in egg white), I got very ill (nausea, feeling very tired, achy all over). I thought I got a mild case of flu, before I learned I was actually allergic to eggs. I don't miss them at all.

Eggs are a very common allergen and intolerance. I want to put it out there that I've found I can eat eggs from hens that have not been fed soy and corn, but eggs fed on soy are a problem for me. Duck eggs are fie, too. You might try soy free corn free eggs and see if they are easier on your system.

Yes we have to avoid eggs in our house too. I suggest the Allergen's Baker's Handbook by Cybele Pascal. YUMMY. You can use regular milk and butter in place of dairy free substitutes. You will probably like Schar's bread more than enjoy life's for a pre-made option.

A lot of members here have great recipes too.

Do a search of egg substitutions. baking powder and vinegar, pre-made powder mix, gelatin, chia seed, flax seed, and lots of pureed fruit options (apple sauce, bananas). The list is quite long.

This may sound crazy, and I can't remember if I heard this here or one of the other food intolerance forums I frequent, but if you cook an egg in the shell, it retains the sulfites, but if exposed to air, it doesn't. I wasn't really having a problem with eggs, but they stopped tasting good to me, to the point where they ALMOST made me a little nauseous. I had been boiling them. When I heard about this I tried frying them for a change, and they tasted great. If you think about it, you know how when you peel a hard boiled egg it smells so stinky? They don't stink when they are fried. That is the sulpher/sulphites. Some people have trouble converting sulphites to sulphates, which our bodies need.

Don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that...

      Brain fog

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Were you doing any of the new home construction yourself? Drywall compounds and adhesives used in construction have been known to cause problems for some celiacs.

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Hello @Scatterbrain and welcome to the forum I am sorry to hear you have had a return of your symptoms. My first thoughts were that stress can cause IBS-like symptoms - a friend of mine has been suffering a huge amount of stress and when that happens she gets diarrhea. But you say that you haven't got any bad abdominal issues, so perhaps you...

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Hello, I was newly diagnosed in January of this year (2025). Since then I have been strict about staying gluten free and only cooking at home. I started feeling better in July while gradually resuming close to my normal routine of activities and athletics. September and October were extremely stressful due to a new home build being finished and moving...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that a subsequent exposure hit her so hard. The persistent fatigue is a major red flag that her body is still struggling, potentially indicating that the initial damage hasn't fully healed or that her system is now in a heightened state of reactivity. Rather than seeking anecdotal timelines from others, her experience underscores the critical need for close follow-up with her gastroenterologist to rule out other nutrient deficiencies commonly caused by celiac flare-ups, like iron or B12, and to consult with a dietitian to scrutinize her diet for any hidden sources of cross-contamination that could be perpetuating her symptoms. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Brain fog, like other celiac disease symptoms, does improve after you to 100% gluten-free, and supplementation will also help.

      Hello, I was newly diagnosed in January of this year (2025).  Since then I have been strict about staying gluten free and only cooking at home.  I started feeling better in July while gradually resuming close to my normal routine of activities and athletics. September and October were extremely stressful due to a new home build being finished and moving.  My spouse and I take care of his mom who has advanced dementia and have been since 2021.  We did all the moving as well as get the other house on the market for the month of October.  Since earlier this month I feel like I did back in the early stages of my diagnosis.  Almost all of my symptoms have come back except for the bad abdominal issues.  I haven’t changed my diet or supplements since January and wonder if the stress has caused a set back? Any thoughts are helpful.  Thanks
