Anyone With Iga Deficiency Crave Eggs With Runny Yolks?

I was googling nutrition deficiencies that cause a craving for eggs with runny yolks and kept coming across biotin as one of the nutrients. So I googled biotin and came across a site that described it. Under different diagnoses (i believe that was the name of the category) it listed Iga and Igg deficiencies.

I've suspected I have that and that's why my Ttg Iga came back negative. I am waiting for my GI to call me back, hoping he'll order the test for total serum Iga since he forgot he said he'd include it with my initial order for bloodwork.

I'm trying not to jump to conclusions, just thought it was interesting info I stumbled upon. I have hashimoto's so there's another reason I wanted to get that level checked. I was curious how many people with Iga or Igg deficiency crave runny yolks.

I am supposed to eat poached eggs, slightly runny everyday for breakfast. My IGA tests were negative, I think. Anyway, my chiro says it okay and I can get my eggs from the chicken house or a farmer nearby. Enjoy your eggs!

With no insurance, I've never been tested. But all my life I have craved runny yolks. When I was a kid, soft-boiled eggs was the ONLY thing they could get me to eat. I was born sick - RH neg. to an RH pos. mother, and this was long before they had shots for it. I was jaundiced, and I also had pneumonia several times during my infancy. I always knew I must be deficient in SOME kind of nutrient. I listen to my body and when it tells me to eat something, I do it. To me, eggs with runny yolks are one of God's gifts - right up there with coffee at the top of my list of "yum factor" foods.

I'm not Iga deficient and I LOVE runny yolks. Only way to have a fried egg, IMO.

      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.
