I was allergic to eggs big time. Found out it was what the chickens were eating. Soy. Almost all chickens are fed a vegetarian diet of soy. Even the free-range chickens are given supplemental feed. Soy free egg = no egg allergy.

Symptoms of egg or any other food intolerance can be multiple and are highly individual. Take eggs out of your diet for 2-4 weeks and if you don't get the same bloating/swelling of your belly, you'll know that your symptom are caused by eggs. You can also experiment to see if you tolerate egg yolks only, which are the most nutritious part of the eggs anyway and are usually less problematic in terms of intolerance.

I have had bad post breakfast stomach problems for years. And I always have eggs for breakfast. Last few days, no eggs - no problems ! Is there a link here?...,,,,

Eggs make me gassy too. Very disappointing as I love them.

The symptoms of an egg intolerance are usually an intolerance to eggs.

I don't know the technical criteria for egg intolerance.

However, in situations like this, I would defer to common sense.

thanks to all. I will try not to eat eggs for a month and see.

I am zinc deficcient, so am intolerent to eggs. I take zinc tablets to help me break down the sulphur in them, which eliminates the problems!

I don't know if this is the case for everyone, but I experience excessive burping and flatulence that makes me hate myself. I also experience bloating. The symptoms are milder when I eat scrambled eggs instead of hard-boiled eggs.

I had the same problem with bloating. I had blood work done and an abdominal scan and everything came back normal. Went back to my food journal and finally figured out it was eggs. Doc told me it was an egg allergy.

Don't know if this will be helpful, but I was reading up a while back about egg allergy, and I thought it was interesting that it's the sulphur in eggs that makes you get the stinky farts. Other high sulpher foods like onions and cruciferous veges can do it too.

I get a bad migraine 2 days later. I tried them again recently--deviled eggs on Easter, made with homemade mayonnaise--and still had the migraine. I miss eggs but they're literally not worth the headache.

I cannot eat eggs at all because I get severe stomach cramps and feverish..along with flu type symptoms from both ends. I also cannot eat raw onion or a lot of garlic which is an allicin allergy. Are these three things related somehow?

I had a small rash on my forehead near between my ears that persisted since I went Paleo, I was even taking a prescription medicine for it and it just wouldn't completely go away. one week off of eggs and it completely disappeared.

I've had the strangest bloating for months now. On a whim, I decided to cut out eggs one day last week and the day after my bloating completely went away. While this makes me extremely sad considering how much I love eggs, I'm happy to have found out the culprit. I bought a dozen completely pastured, no-grain duck eggs to see if I'll be able to eat them without issues. Hoping so.

When you find yourself saying "I don't hate eggs, some of my best friends are eggs".

My egg intolerance causes me to get severe acne breakouts! It sucks so much that I've actually created a phobia of eggs for myself haha. There are more symptoms as well, but that's the most evident. When I eat an egg, anytime between an hour to a week after I get a stabbing stomach pain in my upper right abdomen where my gall bladder is. Ultrasound tests and a colonoscopy came back fine so I finally got my blood checked for allergies...yup! Eggs.

GASSSS.... that is all.. lol

My face breaks out and I have to go lay down. Sucks so bad.

Severe acne! Been treated for acne for over 10 years and finally figured out it was eggs. I had no other bad symptoms from eggs. I no longer eat anything with eggs. Be careful of baked goods, salad dressing and marshmallow fluff.

Hard-boiled eggs make me gassy, but scrambled, fried, soft-boiled or poached do not. Maybe there is a different chemical reaction that occurs when the yolk turns into a sulfur ball.

It took me 20+ years of gastro distress to finally learn that I have an intolerance to eggs. Not an allergy according to an allergist. Figured it out on my own after years of Dr's visits. Once I cut out eggs everything changed for me. You do need to be careful and read ingredant labels. I used to love eggs. I've learned to live without them.

I would eat eggs for breakfast almost every morning, and like clockwork, would experience extreme, pregnant-like bloat and gas after eating them. I cut them out this past August and the bloat went away completely and I literally dropped 5 lbs in a week just from eliminating the eggs. I haven't touched them since, and my gastro symptoms have, overall, been much improved. Sad considering I used to love them, but not worth feeling like shit!

Introduced eggs yesterday. N got a small headache. :(..Not sure though.

I seem to tolerate no more than 3 eggs in the morning scrambled with onion, tuna, garlic, and 2 tomatoes with lots of salt and cumin. But if I fry eggs I feel funny afterwards.

The symptoms? Most prominently, I'd say, would be that you simply can't tolerate them.

I decided to take a break from eggs for a while...

It's been about a week. No real energy, mood, or digestion improvements but one thing I have noticed is that the dark circles under my eyes have started to lift.

I'm pretty exited. Hope it keeps up.

My symptoms from eggs are extreme flatulence which has a nasty, embarrassing sulphurous smell, and a churning in my bowels preceding an explosive, loose stool. If I eat even the tiniest amount of egg in a cake or whatever, I get these symptoms. If I avoid eggs completely, no symptoms. I read on the internet that some people lack the digestive enzyme required to digest the protein in eggs. This then passes undigested into the bowel, where the bacteria that live there have to digest it. This causes the symptoms that I experience.
I'm interested in trying the zinc to see if it will make any difference. Also interested in the bit about soy-fed chickens as I know that soy gives me loads of flatulence too. But how to get eggs produced by hens which are not fed soy? Besides keeping my own and that's not possible in town.

My first sign of an egg intolerance is a burning sensation on the roof of my mouth. Not long after that the gastric distress shows up.

The yolk (yellow) part of the egg is NOT the "most nutritious". It is mostly fat and is what the developing embryo lives on during growth. The white of the egg is where the protein is that becomes a chick (if the egg is fertilized). People frequently get this wrong because they think of baby chicks as being yellow and the yolk is yellow, but these are the facts. The white is where the nutrition - protein - is. There is more cholesterol in the yolk because it is fat.
