Egg intolerance

I am the same way. I eat egg white omelets with tons of veggies now and never have a problem. I guess it's the yolk?

I am the opposite. I'm very intolerant of egg whites. I ate an egg white omlet and I had people asking when the baby was due. :-p just eating the yolks now. :-) no whites anymore! Apparently egg whites have anti-nutrients and a compound that inhibits digestion for some people.

I dealt with that in my younger years, strangely it was worse during my cycles. I found that having some kind of acid with them, and it was mainly the whites that affected me, seemed to cut through the bloating and other symptoms I had. As I have gotten older I have been able to tolerate them.:happy:

I think egg yolks are gross.

started about 6 years ago. noticed that anything with a large amount of egg yolks caused some VERY unpleasant things. so i switched to egg whites. but for 2 years now, i can no longer stomach egg whites. i can still eat baked items made with eggs--as long its not excessive.

i have no problem with soy.

yep. egg intolerance here as well. and it suuuucks. never used to be like that, but it developed about 9yrs ago.

i'm fine if i eat something that eggs have been baked into at a high temperature, but scrambled. fried. hard boiled. egg salad, etc. and even recently the egg used to make crepes or french toast sometimes bothers me. I keep telling myself, maybe this one time it won't, but I always end up paying for it with the most horrid pain in the core of my stomach all day long.

i've tried egg whites alone but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Even went so far as to buy fresh organic free range eggs from the market but that was a no go too. so now i just accept it and avoid them.

I've been having problems also but not sure if it is the eggs or wheat/gluten. Usually when I eat eggs I have wheat toast or bread. I have eaten fresh brown eggs and seem to be bothered by them also. I get stomach cramps, feel sick to my stomach and have diarrhea. I have noticed that I have become lactose intolerent also.

Well I'm happy there are others here with the same problem I've been experiencing! I can't seem to have cooked eggs any which way, with the exception of them being cooked into baked goods, i get so bloated all day long. Same thing has happened with milk (doesn't matter if it's whole or 1% or skim). When i realized my daily breakfast of milk and cereal was causing me bloating all day, i eliminated it from my diet and felt so much better. Same with eggs. I just don't understand, I never had any kind of food intolerance or allergies before. This all started about a year ago. It's horrible because I love both, but I've found that I'd rather avoid them than be uncomfortable for the remainder of the day.

I am the same way. I eat egg white omelets with tons of veggies now and never have a problem. I guess it's the yolk?

According to Wiki: "egg yolk allergies may be somewhat more common in adults."

Wow now I feel like a d!ck. Ever since he was a kid my brother said he couldn't eat eggs because they make him sick, but he was (and still is) the pickiest eater I know - and eating baked goods that contain eggs never bothered him - so I assumed he was just making it up because he didn't like the taste of eggs.

I'm going to apologize to him.

It is admittedly a pet peeve of mine, so I just want to make clear what a food allergy is versus a food intolerance, as they are not interchangeable terms. A true allergy means your immune system mistakes the food as being harmful and attacks it; the symptoms will likely come on suddenly and even a small amount of the offending food can trigger a reaction. Intolerance means your body can’t properly digest and process the food and it could take hours or even days for the reaction to manifest.

Egg intolerance or allergy stinks...they are in everything and are such a great source of cheap protein. I have a dairy intolerance and that is a PITA to work around too, so you have my empathy!

No matter how many times I try, I PAY when I eat eggs. If they are mixed in something I do fine. But if I scramble or like today, make egg muffins-- WOW, bloating, cramps, etc. Im the only one I know that reacts like this. Anyone else have the same?

Very common with body builders it happens over time after having so many.

It varies for me personally some days I am fine others I am horrible!

I'm so happy to see I'm not the only one. Can't eat them any way, any brand, any time! And I use to love them so!
