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.

      Thanks so much Scott. I would be incredibly grateful to the gluten gods if eliminating oats was the magic cure. In the meantime, it's nice to have moral support!

      Understood. And don't beat yourself up about this. Many are in the same boat as you, having experimented with the gluten-free diet before getting formerly tested. It is a logical, common sense approach when you don't have the knowledge about how testing works or you don't have the healthcare resources to afford testing. And some experience such severe reactions to gluten that it is impossible to get through the gluten challenge in order to get tested. So, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing for sure if they suffer from celiac disease or NCGS. But at the end of the day, the antidote is the same for both. Namely, life-ling abstinence from gluten. Recently there was an article on posted on this forum about the develop of a new testing method for diagnosing celiac disease that do not require a gluten challenge. It is still in the developmental stage and probably years away from becoming main streams even if it pans out. But there is hope at least.

      Ooh thanks for all the info I'll check them out, though I may not be functional after 6 slices for 6 weeks 😅

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
