I feel "oogy" after eating eggs. So, I have been wondering if I should quit them too. I know a lot of people start noticing their food intolerances after going paleo. A healthy gut has an opinion.

I have been gluten free much longer than I have been paleo. It is a well known in the GF community that when gluten is eliminated, intolerance to other foods can pop up. I have never seen a good explanation for this. Some are successful in adding a food back.

Of course it could be a true allergy (IgE reaction) - allergies can also pop up anytime.

are you female? Is there ANY CHANCE that you are pregnant? I'm sure someone here will have a better idea, but...

I actually had a weird reaction of my own to eggs... I had been eating them for months as a staple, then out of nowhere I started breaking out in rashes whenever I ate them. Didn't eat them for 1 month, then tried them again, and no rash. Maybe just take a break from them for a while and hope it resolves itself? I'm sure someone on here will have some sort of explanation for why it might be happening...

I've had the same situation happen to me. I've been eating a low carb, high protein diet the past 6 months and loss about 50lbs. And i've noticed that about 2 months ago, that whenever I eat eggs I feel like throwing up. I've gotten the feeling with both standard, factory farm eggs and organic, pasture raised eggs. I've tried both scrambled cooked through and sunny side up. I've tried to eat them with and without bread/tortillas/etc. I'd say about 3 out of 4 times i'll feel like vomiting.

I can't figure out what it is! I've eaten eggs all my life with no problems. I wonder if this is a side effect of the new diet and weight loss.... =(

Developing a sensitivity to eggs after chronic exposure is rather common. People get into a habit of eating lots of eggs, or even just one every day for a long period of time. The best suggestion I've seen as to why is that egg whites contain the enzyme Lysozyme which attacks Gram positive cells. This causes grief for the gut and eventually you become sensitive. The sensitivity generally seems to be long lasting, even permanent.

Though I didn't know I have a policy on this matter, reading your question persuaded me that I do, in fact, have such a policy: Any food that makes me feel like puking, is by definition removed from my diet. The impulse to vomit when I eat a given food, does not lead me to think, "Gee, how might I get used to eating this food the very thought of which makes me nauseous."

you tried eliminating everything but the thing you suspect makes you sick... have you tried cutting out the eggs?

My son is allergic to eggs. I don't even have them in the house.

Eggs don't make you paleo. Just a thought.

I believe that reactions to once tolorated foods can suddenly pop up. Last summer I was able to eat canned tomatoes, jarred spaghetti sauce and vinegar without any trouble. But now, no way!

I was allergic to eggs as a kid. How about liver instead? I'm not allergic any more but that's what I do anyway.

I'm sorry people are sick but, glad its not just me. I just started a diet 2 wks ago and noticed I started feeling sick in the morning. I flew and bought a pregnancy test and "thank God" it was negative. So, this morning I made an egg white omelet and within 5 minutes was in the bathroom vomiting. I have eaten eggs my whole life (I'm 31) and have always loved them but, I have never had egg whites only. Something with that isn't sitting well with me.

Hi, I am 29, eaten eggs forever and now, after going low carb for about 4 weeks, eggactly the same thing has happened to me. Feel sick and nausea right up in my stomach (not intestines) whenever I have eggs.

Don't know if this will help at all... However, after my gastric bypass (Oct 2009), I couldn't eat egg... even though I loved eating prior to the surgery. As soon as I get a spoonful, its out in an instant with anything else that might have been in my stomach. I tried several times with different styles of egg... but same reaction.

I think this is because I hadn't eaten anything in 3 weeks after my surgery and the first thing I did try and eat was egg... which the body then rejected!

I began paleo a few days ago, and knew that high protein in the morning was a must, and I had to get my body eating eggs again. So, I tried a couple of weeks ago with egg... and I vomited, did it the next day and vomited, did it the day after and didn't vomit, but felt unsettled.

Now, I am absolutely fine with it!

I think it is more psychological then anything else.

I started experiencing the same sick feelings after eating eggs when I was 25. I'm 32. I stopped eating eggs for a long time because I thought there was something wrong with how I liked them prepared, sunny side up. But then I tried scrambled but still got sick. I though it was weird I could eat things made with eggs but just not eggs alone. One day I got curious again and tried an egg. Did not get sick. I then had an Epiphany I never payed attention to the dates on the Carton and usually took them out the carton and they would be in the refrigerator. Long story short make sure the eggs are fresh or not expired.

I quote paleodietlifestyle.com on egg whites...

"Unlike most animals, eggs can’t defend themselves by bitting or escaping and have to rely on some of the same mechanisms that plants, grains and seeds use to survive. The white is solely responsible for this part while the yolk is busy becoming a full-fledged animal. 13 of the 14 proteins found in the white have anti-microbial properties. This usually deters microbes and viruses, but can also affect us, especially when consumed in high quantity or when our gut health is already compromised."

This is the best answer I've seen here. If you react this way to eggs there is also a high probability you are suffering from mold toxicity. Many people suffer from this till the day they die and never know because MD's almost never test for mold toxicity.
