Eggs Intolerance?!


Februaryrich

Recommended Posts

Februaryrich Rookie

I seem to be intolerant to eggs along with gluten. I still don't know if it's the eggs but everytime I eat Miracle Whip (mayo dressing), my muscles get tighter and it's almost as if I have been glutened (without the awful neurological symptoms). I was wondering if I was the only one? I always see people with soy and dairy, but what about EGGS?!

Doesn't Miracle Whip have Soy in it??

I thought it did. Just googled and it does have soy.

Basically you can develop an intolerance or allergy to any food.

Shortly after going gluten free, I started reacting to eggs.

There is another thread on egg intolerance/sensitivity...put that in the search box and you will come up with what others have said.

Due to the leaky gut letting food particles through to the bloodstream, it is common for the body to start reacting to other foods. The intolerance may go away and you can start eating the food eventually if it is not a true allergy.

I had to give up eggs, dairy and soy. Every time I test eggs and dairy I get sick again. But I want them back so I test every few months. Soy doesn't seem to make me all that sick, but I avoid it because of Hashimoto's.

Yes, there are many here who can't tolerate eggs...I'm sure other's will post too.

It could be the soy too.

I had allergy skin prick testing because it seemed like everything I stuck in my mouth was making me sick.

I scored a 3 on egg yolks. The more common allergin is egg whites. I didn't have a score on soy, but soy makes me sicker than a dog. The Allergist didn't seem all that surprised, and explained the differences in food allergens and food intolerances. I scored high (4) on a few food items that I never would have guessed were causing me problems. (Turkey, pecans),

But I still eat eggs, just not everyday. If I eat them in moderation and space them out, I'm fine. I've never had a bad

reaction from eggs like I have with Gluten, soy or dairy...but that doesn't mean your experience will be similar.

Do you get the same reaction if you just eat a plain egg? I'm very suspicious of processed products in general.

That said, it's turned out that I have an intolerance to eggs. But my symptoms are nothing like from gluten. I just get potently sulfurous gas!!! I had one bite of a deviled egg and one bite of a brownie made with eggs last week and farted constantly for at least three days.

I'm curious to find out if it is just the yolks that are causing the problem, because with no milk, eggs, or grains it's pretty hard to make anything resembling a pancake, cookie, bread, etc. I'm kind of hoping egg whites are doable.

My son is intolerant to eggs (as well as gluten and casein). There's really no way to make a quiche or anything like that, so you'll have to pretty much give up the foods where eggs are the main ingredient. However, if you are baking without eggs, there are lots of good substitutes. Ener-G egg replacer is sold at health food stores or whole food stores, and it works great for bread, pancakes etc. Sometimes, I use ground flaxseed and some water (1 T. flaxseed plus 3 Tablespoons hot water--let it sit for a minute or two, it get's all gooey). Sometimes, I use pureed prunes (like babyfood) for things that need to be really gooey like brownies. Applesauce (unsweetened!)is another good substitute for eggs. There are some good cookbooks out there!

If a recipe calls for more 3 or more eggs, it's going to pretty much flop to try to use these substitutes--it only works for recipes that only take one or two eggs.

Good luck!!

I used to do those subs when I had a vegan husband. But now I don't eat flax or the stuff in egg replacer, either. Fruits don't work as leavening or binder, though they are tasty and moist. My partner uses coconut flour a lot and those recipes use at least twice the eggs you'd expect. Usually when the family eats eggs they are used as a protein source, even if fruit worked in a recipe it would not have similar nutritional value. I think I'm out of luck on this one.

Miracle Whip does have soy (soy oil) in it .

I am intolerant of eggs :( . Of all the things I have had to remove from my diet Eggs have been BY FAR the hardest.

I am gluten and soy free . I do not say that I am egg free even though I do my best to avoid them in my diet.I can tolerate very very small amount of egg in baked product so I will on occasion have Udi's bread.

I have an IgG allergy to eggs. They give me the big D.

I had a high moderate reaction to egg whites on an ELISA (blood) test for IgE, IgG and IgA mediated allergies. My egg reaction was an IgG mediated reaction. My husband took the same test and reacted to egg yolks, but not egg whites. My egg reaction explains why I get very ill (nausea, pain) after getting flu shots (which are cultured in eggs). I also react to wines which are 'fined' with egg white. Because I'm also allergic to soy, I make my own mayonnaise from cashews. I use flax meal or egg replacement for baking.

There are a lot of substitutes for eggs.

Like someone said, don't go chasing after a recipe that takes 3 or more eggs. Some people use tofu in typical "egg" meals. (IMO yuck)

I can't think of the break down of the vinegar & baking soda egg substitute but you can get some lift to baked goods with that. A perfect example is in the "wacky cake" recipe from the depression era (convert with a gluten free flour blend).

I also like to use gelatin as an egg replacer.

By the way my Celiac daughter has an Eosinophilic reaction to eggs. I think my sensitivity to eggs is caused by too much gut damage from Celiac.

You can try Chia seeds too...if you soak them for a few minutes they create a gooey gel that makes a decent substitute!

I'm allergic to egg yolks myself, but I'm unsure it's gluten related. I know since I was a baby I was allergic to sulfur-based medication as well.

I no longer have to make my own mayonnaise from cashews. Earth Balance and Veganaise both offer dairy/soy/egg free varieties of mayonnaise. I've used both and the tastes are similar. So I'll buy whichever is the best price next time. So nice to have more egg/soy/dairy free products to sub for egg products.

      The form of the magnesium is important. Go for one that has high absorbability. Most of us opt for magnesium glycinate. Mag citrate is also good. Don't settle for the oxide forms. They aren't absorbed well and tend to have a laxative effect 'cause they just draw water into the colon a' la Milk of Magnesia. Costco is a good place to shop for things like that. Also, good bone and dental health involves vitamin D. Are you taking a dedicated D3 supplement? Have you had your D levels checked? In many ways, vitamin D is turning out to be a master vitamin of human metabolism and celiacs are often low on this one. What was the numerical score on your IGA along with the reference range? I can probably tell you whether it was TTG-IGA by the magnitude of the score. The only other likely option besides TTG-IGA would be Total IGA which usually has scores that range in the hundreds.  I do think it important for you to get a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy to check for healing of the villi. If that isn't happening like it should, you still are not absorbing nutrients well and that could easily explain your dental issues.

      It doesn’t specify if it’s TTG I’m not sure how to tell for that. That would be so sad. We never eat out I try to be so strict. Yes many dental products have gluten! I only use ones that don’t on myself.    No follow up procedure has been done for healing. That is something I will ask about. Thank you for the suggestion.    I don’t take any Magnesium. What would be a good supplement? 
    • trents
      Is that TTG-IGA that is slightly elevated? That could indicate you are still getting some gluten in your diet. That should be within normal range I would think if you were truly gluten free. As a dental professional have you looked into the issue of gluten in the products they use in your profession? There are threads on this forum and also articles I think dealing with that issue. Have you had a follow-up endoscopy to check for healing of the small bowel villi? Also, are you taking any magnesium supplements for bone and dental health? Very important. It works together with calcium.

      I’ve had GI issues since I was a baby! They never did any testing and always said diet issues and constipation. Things got a lot worse when I hit 25, eventually got a diagnosis and I am currently 29. Yes, just recently saw my GI doctor in January and things looked pretty good. Very slightly elevated IgA but IgG was good. My ionized calcium is elevated too. I also have hashimotos but my TSH was good.

      Do you have any sense of how long before your diagnosis the onset of your celiac disease may have been? For most of us, there are years that pass between the onset and finally getting a diagnosis and by that time damage has already been done to body systems. May we ask your age? Also, have you had any follow-up testing since diagnosis to check for celiac antibody levels or healing of the villi?
