Just stop trying to eat eggs.
Two eggs baked in a batch of brownies would be divided between each brownie...in other words...you really are getting very little of the egg.
With the little bit of egg in a baked product divided among each serving might not be enough to trigger a reaction.

Twenty years ago I got really, really drunk on Southern Comfort mixed with diet Pepsi and threw up. Still can't drink diet Pepsi. Southern Comfort is fine though.
The sickest that I have ever been was off of Southern Comfort...I gave it up for life...never again!

I get sick if I eat more than 1 egg straight at a time. I can eat 1 egg fried on my burger or hard-boiled, but if I eat more than 1 I spend the next few hours incredibly nauseated. If we're eating scrambled eggs, I'm done after about 3 bites because it just doesn't taste good anymore. I seem to do fine with extra egg yolks, but not whites. I do better with the organic free-range eggs, but still can't eat too many.0

What????
It's the truth though? Eggs are incredibly unhealthy from the research I've seen.

No it's not.
Please cite this research.
Thanks!
Yes, please cite the research ..,
I eat three to four eggs a day and my cholesterol levels are nearly perfect...1 -
Good lord this has become a negative thread. All I wanted to know was if anyone else had experiences with what I did.
It took a few people to become negative, which than made others negative. If what I asked annoys or confuses you, why are you still trying to cause problems on this thread?
We are supposed to be motivators for each other. So stop trying to make yourself feel better by trying to make others look stupid.
The only negative person in this thread is...you.-1 -
Have you perhaps tried only having the egg yolk, or the whites separately? I developed this thing where unless the egg yolk is cooked thoroughly(no more over-easy =( ) I get horrible stomach upset and.. unpleasantries afterward. If I eat hardboiled or scrambled i'm perfectly fine though.
Best bet would to go to a doctor if possible and explain to them the situation, maybe they can help figure it out.0 -
I'm not a chicken expert, but have you tried store bought eggs? Do you have the same reaction to them? Home raised chickens are not checked for illnesses as often, and may be carrying some sort of a mild bug. If you don't react to store bought eggs it may warrant investigating your chickens and treating them if they have something you may have missed.0

Several years ago, your doctor would likely have recommended strict avoidance of all eggs, including baked egg products. Today, it’s clear that egg-allergic children have varying levels of tolerance.

When an egg is heated, its protein degrades enough that certain youngsters can tolerate it. Mixing egg with flours may also make it less allergenic. Ovomucoid, a heat-stable protein in egg, may be primarily responsible for the differences in tolerance. A low allergy to ovomucoid can help predict if an allergic child may be able to eat baked egg products. At Boston Children’s hospital, we test for levels of ovomucoid-specific IgE in the blood. If that value is low enough, we consider conducting a “baked egg” food challenge. This test isn’t perfect; I’ve seen children with low ovomucoid values develop serious allergic reactions during these food challenges, so great care must be taken.
Wow, someone in these threads actually admitted that they might not know everything. That's pretty amazing in my book. *claps* LOL0 -

Im glad you did some research and posted this...your first comment about how the anecdotes about eggs made you think it was just picky eaters and special snowflakes really threw me.
Kiddo eats everything from eel to goat to well...a myriad of foods that many people have never tried / would not want to try. I have an intolerance to being picky / unadventurous with food and shes used to variety...but if something makes her ill or she simply does not like how it tastes...I dont force it on her. I dont think shes a special snowflake for it...actually, I think its pretty common for people to have food preferences, and also to have a bad reaction to some foods.
Anyway, your research is pretty interesting cause its right there with what kiddo experiences...being able to eat egg in baked goods but not prepared straight up without having stomach issues. Its not so much an issue to her to avoid it...just something I was sharing since the OP seems to share a similar experience... Glad you checked it out and replied back with this info!0 -
Sometimes eggs make me really sick sometimes they don't. I've read that what the chickens eat can effect of the eggs will give you a reaction or not. Also I have thrown up food that I ate a few days before. I don't care what anybody says it happened. Yes I have been to the doctor. Also can people try to be a bit nicer sheesh.0

Yes, there are biases, which is why when citing sources you should ensure that they address the point you are making and are, or include, peer reviewed studies so the methods to determine the claim, the limitations of the studies and any affiliations can be see.
Addressing the links:
1) no links to the study noted so I cannot comment on this. It is just an article.
2) this links studies. First study it links states "Patients at risk of cardiovascular disease should limit their intake of cholesterol". There is conflicting evidence regarding the impact of dietary cholesterol on cholesterol levels. The second study mentioned is actually the one the article in 1) mentions. Unfortunately the link is to a very biased pro vegan website and not the study. The next couple are about salmonella. The next link is to a study that concludes this: "Infrequent egg consumption does not seem to influence the risk of CVD in male physicians. In addition, egg consumption was positively related to mortality, more strongly so in diabetic subjects, in the study population.". The next link is to Joel Fuhrman's site - not credible.
3) this is about salmonella and is one of the links in 2)
4) this is the same study noted in 2) - the first one.
5) & 6) Vegan site - completely biased and just repeats the other studies (as well as discussing the ethical side)
7) just links a biased site (using a search eggs from the looks of it)
8) due to 7) I am not bothering to watch the video.
9) not a credible documentary
Basically, lots and lots of repeating of 2 studies and links to an FDC article about salmonella from what I can see. The 2 studies so not even mention cancer and do not indicate that they are 'incredibly unhealthy' at all.

OP I have the same problem. If I eat eggs I get nauseous and sometimes vomit. I don't think it's stupid if you want to continue to eat eggs, (especially if you really like them that much) as long as you're prepared to deal with the consequences
. I came here to see if others had the same problem as me.. But a lot of the people in this thread are friggin rude. Like damn ppl.... Don't worry I'm with you Op lol 0 -
I have similar problems. Sometimes eggs agree with me, sometimes they don't. Avoiding the yolk all together seems to cause the least amount of problems. When I do have the yolk, solid over runny seems to sit better with me but I like my eggs over easy so that doesn't happy often.
If I eat eggs alone it seems to hit me more so I try to include a piece of toast or something like that. Sometimes just having eggs with a small glass of milk helps. I honestly don't know why eggs don't like me but I like them so I take my chances.
How does cheese sit with you? Just curious because sometimes I have the same issues with cheese when I eat it alone or if it's heavy on a dish.0 -

Not true... food poisoning takes about 48hours to have an effect on your system...
Food poisoning, because it is bacteria or a virus. Allergies are much quicker.0 -
I had a similar experience. As a kid, eating fried eggs used to leave me with an upset stomach, so I stopped eating them. Could always eat them baked into things.
I don't have an allergy, but the thought of eating fried eggs still turns my stomach. No thanks0 -
I have an egg allergy, but mine is within 45 minutes of eating them, I get severe stomach cramps and it comes out of me at all angles (gross I know) but I'm okay with cake ect apparently that's pretty common with an egg allergy, ive tried just the white and was ill and just the yolk and I was ill so I gave up on them, tried them again today and I'm ill haha, finding it hard on what to eat for breakfast now though, I'm not keen on sausages, ive gone off of bacon I cant handle fruit first thing in the morning so I'm scouting the internet for ideas0

I hope this can help a few people out there.(I know this is an old thread, but someone will read it eventually)
I had a car wreck 2.5 yrs ago, in this wreck the battery spewed onto the motor, and I inhaled all matter of "god only knows".... Since then I have had numerous stomach problems. The toxins damaged my stomach, and intestines, it even had some effect on my mouth, all of which are a part of the digestion process. My good flora was basically dead, as well as most of the villi in my digestive tract. You cant digest a lot like this, and eggs are one thing I formerly had no problem with that now seemed to hate me. My gut flora was so out of balance that I had candida growing out of control in my digestive tract.
Dr.s weren't helping with the toxins still in my system, nor my stomach. They just gave me tagamet...... which didn't help.
I finally called an herbalist i use to go to, when we got off the phone I felt like my life might actually normalize again one day. And I was right.
My herbalist explained that I probably had a lot of damage to my digestive tract and the first order was to get on some PB8 (a high quality pro-biotics ) and Proactazyme (for the enzymes I needed to replenish.) I also purchased some Aloe juice per his advice, (to coat and sooth my stomach) and between the three began healing.
It is a long road and takes a lot of time to get healed if this is your problem (the gut flora imbalance can happen on the normal American diet these days) Maybe even a year or more of treatment, but it is worth it, and it is the only way you can get the flora back right again.
BUT, I can eat eggs again.
If you live to far out to drive into an herbalist, or don't know where to find one, I will leave mines info at the bottom of the page. No, I don't get anything from it, except that I know I might have helped someone else. And maybe saved them a lot of pain. Here's to your health, and eggs!!

This happens to me as well and it has been that way since I was pregnant in 1996. I ate an egg bake casserole this morning. (I rarely eat eggs and have also considered the fact that it was psychological), but alas, that same ol' nausea is back. It's not worth it for me, just need to find an alternate breakfast food. Best wishes!0

A lot of people have problems eating eggs, especially the yolk. You could try eating just the white (you can buy cartons of frozen egg whites if you don't want to waste the yolk) or just eat something else and skip eggs.0

I used to be mildly allergic to eggs and stopped eating them because they upset my stomach. Then my allergy went away on its own and they stopped bothering my stomach. So now I eat them.
Neither decision required others to help me decide what was best for my digestive health....
You can either stop eating something that makes you sick or you can keep eating something that makes you sick and continue getting sick. Whether it's the sulfur or the egg in its entirety doesn't matter because you can't change its properties to avoid getting sick. So, like, your call. Choosing sickness over feeling good just because you own chickens though is kind of a silly as frak choice, but to each his/her own.
Again...really? stop giving false information. Food poisoning or allergies take 48 hours to have an impact on your system. Source: years of training on this as hospitality manager where I have dealt with many complaints for food poisoning...
What?? No. Food allergies can be immediate and life threatening.0 -
Eggs have never agreed with me so I just quit eating them. I threw them up once as a child and didn't eat them again for years...then noticed they upset my stomach so I just quit completely. Don't need them anyway.0

Back when I was a grade-schooler and my ma habitually overcooked my eggs into hard cooked sunny-side up, I started getting sick just smelling the eggs cook and avoided them for many years. Fast forward to getting married and cooking for a man who liked to eat eggs over-easy with a side of bacon and home fried potatoes ... and I didn't get sick when I had some.
It had something to do with the eggs being over cooked. Maybe you cooked yours too long also?
