    I want to share my story I hope it'll help somebody understand what's going on- i am from Costa Rica and move to Florida 2 years ago, I have been working out for 6 years and learnt i must eat protein in order to build muscle so of course I started eating more eggs, more chicken and less carbs; this is 6 years ago, but never ever had a problem with CHICKEN or EGGS until I moved into this country and within 2 weeks my stomach got bloated every single night, I had no idea what was happening to me until I realized every time I eat chicken I get sick, in fact tonight I had eggs for dinner and I have so much pain I had to google why eggs make me so sick!!!! I am to a point where I know I have to move out of this country because this bloating and pain issue just won't go away, not matter what kinda eggs I eat it's a hit or miss, one day I am ok when I eat them other days I am pretty sick. I went back home 2 months ago and ate chicken and eggs like crazy because I know, there r just not gonna make me sick. By the way I stopped eating chicken a year ago, just can't eat it, now eggs is getting to be same. The only thing I know for a fact my country DOES NOT use hormones, antibiotics and overload grains with pesticides which r given to chickens. Just to compare the size of a chicken breast in Costa Rica to a chicken breast here it's too obvious! Chicken here is triple the size, it's sickening. So for those who think they have some kind allergy, I can tell u I am not allergic to eggs because I can eat them back home and never ever feel sick. NEVER.

    You do realize that if residue of the so called "hormones," "antibiotics," and pesticides were to be found in eggs or chicken meat the producers would be fined a lot, and forced to recall the food, which is more money.

    I think either you are developing an allergy to chicken products, or are sensitive to something you usually eat with them.

    I have this problem too, though I've only developed it in the last few years. It's called egg intolerance and apparently my body has stopped making enough enzyme to digest the protien found in the egg. I can eat baked goods with egg in them a good amount of the time, but if I try to eat egg by itself I get nauseous, cramps, and have a seriously bad stomachache for 8 awful hours. Apparently I do okay with the small amount of egg in a cake or cookie, or whatever. Does any of this sound familiar or is yours not this bad?

    Edited to add: I just realized how old this thread is but maybe my experience will help someone figure out their own problem
