Eggs making me sick?

this same thing has been happening to me for about a year now - i can eat them *sometimes* and get away with it, but most of the time, big tummy troubles!! i never had an allergy growing up - very strange, isn't it?

Its just so weird because I don't have an intolerance to any foods..except that. I used to be mildly allergic to bananas but that went away and I eat them all the time now

That is odd.

I would definitely get an allergy test done for eggs just to be sure. A lot of foods in restaurants are made with eggs or egg products, so if you are allergic, it's best to know and modify your diet to avoid them in the future.

As odd as this sounds I used to get an upset stomach eating eggs then my doctor suggested just a sprinkle of table salt and voila no more issues with eggs. Not sure why this works for me but I can enjoy eggs again.

The live cultures in yogurt are actually beneficial to people with lactose intolerance ^^.

And I just had a thought. You should get tested for an egg allergy anyway, not just because they make your tummy feel bad. People with egg allergies have to avoid flu shots (not sure about other vaccines) because the labs use chicken eggs to make the vaccine. Though I doubt you'd have an adverse reaction to a flu shot if eating eggs just messes with your tummy a bit. Good to know though!

hmm i'm wheat intolerant, lactose intolerant, i have ibs and until recently i was intolerant to caffeine..... and it now hates eggs, i literally can't bare to even make boiled eggs after the fried egg i had last week. Sounds stupid but i really can't be bothered to go through having tests again... I have a high imflammatory rate in my abdomen so they thought it wasn't ibs but it definitely is, i just get it horribly doctors are sometimes wrong or just think your a hypercondriact in the uk, i've never been listened too and will probably never know why i have so many intolerances!

Sounds kind of cliche but could it be morning sickness?

YIkes...that was my 1st thought...and I don't even know her...

I find sometimes I get sick if I eat eggs and cheese together, its weird

You could be allergic to the chicken eggs or you could be having a reaction to whatever they're fed. If you aren't already eating organic, cage free eggs you might try that because they tend to get a more natural diet and fewer grains and soy. It can make a difference! Try getting them from someone who has backyard chickens if you can. They're really good and better for you.

If you have an allergy to chicken eggs regardless of their feed but still want eggs everyday you might want to consider duck eggs. They are a little bigger, very tasty and most people with a chicken egg allergy can handle duck eggs just fine. They're AWESOME in baking. The very best French Silk Chocolate Pie I've ever made was made with duck eggs. If you have a natural foods store near you they probably have some otherwise I'd look on craigslist. There are a whole lot of people selling a variety of eggs on there, especially this time of year when the birds are prolific.

If you're unsure if your eggs are old you can put them in water to cover. If they sink they're very fresh, if they stand up they're less fresh but still edible and if they float I would toss them. As eggs age they dehydrate and the air pocket inside gets larger. That's why they float.

At any rate, I would take a short break from the chicken eggs before I tried cage free ones just to let your system reset itself so you know for sure.

I find sometimes I get sick if I eat eggs and cheese together, its weird

Same! I only like a little amount of cheese if any in my eggs.

I had my gallbladder removed over 10 years ago and ever since then, I get horrible stomach cramps when I eat eggs. They are fine if they are in baked goods, but scrampled, fried, hardboiled, deviled and the like are a no go.

Same! I'm only 21 years old, but I had my gallbladder removed almost 3 years ago, and ever since eggs make me sick. I love omelettes and scrambled eggs, but unfortunately can't have that anymore

Been that way since I was a kid. I get nauseated and a headache. I can only have one egg and I buy only the good eggs. No cheapies. They are better for u anyways. Try only one organic egg. If you get sick after only one, then stop eating them. Be sure to let your doc know. When I get imunizations I have tell them because some shots you cannot get or u can end up with a very bad reaction.

I guess I've heard of stranger things... lol I would try the organic eggs like others suggested and if that doesn't change anything I'd get the allergy test done, sucks not to be able to eat the things that you like I'm allergic to fresh apples and peaches, but I can eat them cooked - go figure

i'm allergic to fresh apples too! i can have apple pie, apple sauce, apple juice (yes apple juice is pasteurized [heated to a certain temp] so it is technically "cooked"), but not an uncooked apple. I break out into hives all over and my lips swell up! i thought i was the only one

Everyone thought I was nutso when I told them I was allergic to white grapes ... but my lips swell up like crazy. So I have to stay away from them ... and *sob* white wine. (Eh, I prefer red anyway.) Glad to know I'm not alone with a weird fruit allergy.

As an aside, this entire thread caught my attention because - all of the sudden, I've developed an aversion to eggs. Sigh. Time to cut them out.
