I personally found that cutting eggs improved by gut and wellbeing, so go for it. They also accounted for the vast majority of my o6 intake, despite being a small part of my diet (12 per week or so). Thoroughly cooking (indeed, utterly obliterating) the eggs I did eat seemed to help.

That said, I'm not sure that it has to be eggs. It could be the absence of something: too few carbs, too little fibre, too little water, too little physical activity, disturbed gut flora etc.

Any oily fish is healthy, lots of lean white fishes are pretty lacking in nutrients (like chicken, which I wouldn't bother with either). Sardines, mackerel etc. are normally cheap.

I eat 5 whole raw eggs a day. I've tried removing the whites on three different occasions and always get constipated. I would bet if you put the whites back in you'll see a change.

I cannot speak to how/whether eggs contribute to your constipation. However, I have experienced a significant amount of constipation and tried various forms of relief. Mag Citrate never worked all that well for me. I have started getting a daily dose of inulin (chicory root, etc) and have no issues with constipation. Ever. I understand you don't want to start supplementing with probiotics, but both probiotics and prebiotics come in forms other than supplements.

Cause for constipation is usually not enough fat or disbiosis. Since yolks are fatty, I find it surprising that it may cause constipation. You may want to add more fat to your diet, a bit more fiber (but not too much), for instance one apple a day, and eat more vegetables. I see that you already go in that direction, but still, its worth mentioning.

I wouldn't recommend giving up eggs - they are high in choline, essential nutrient for proper energy metabolism and memory and some other very nice stuff.

I would also suggest Vitamin C as ascorbic acid powder , 4-10g per day or more, up to diarrhea. Helps soften stools, a lot and clean endotoxin buildup caused by hi fat diet. Improves digestion by killing h. pylori and pathogenic intestinal bacteria. You may get flatulence but it will pass. Works the same as lactulose but much better since it improves immunity and is anti-everything. Bosts carnitine too, for proper fat utilisation.

I've had this before when I was eating around two eggs a day [it didn't matter how they were prepared but hard boiled was definitely the worst offender and scrambled less so].

I just have to go egg-turkey for a week or so and I get a sort of reset.

I know it's been commented here to myself that I should re-undergo allergy testing for this; but I personally just think too much of a good thing is really just that.

As for the healthy fish: sardines, mackeral, sild, sardines. Fresh if you can, but high quality tinned if you can't.

I'll let someone who knows more about the potential chemicals leaching into your food from the tins follow up on the recommendations of weekly consumption of such foodstuffs. [Mainly because I'm at work and being damn lazy...] :)

You can try the eggs poached or raw. That may help.

Eggs always give me weird constipation, cooked or raw doesn't matter.

Regarding your constipation, this seems to be a problem for VLC's probably because of the lack of plant food, I would add in sources of soluble fiber like fruits and tubers too see if that alleviated some of the problems.

Ok based on what you have told me with your meals definitely try cuting out eggs for 2 weeks. I would also suggest if that doesn't work to add Super Enzymes to you supplements. You don't always need them but they will help with the digestion of you protiens.

Try the following: Start with removing the eggs. This will show you whether it's the eggs or not Then if problem still happens add the super enzymes Finally increase your plant intake of drk green veggies (Kale is one of my personal favorites)

Remember that you should try things for at least 2 weeks to know if things have changed in your body. If you find that by just removing the eggs you are better. I would tell you to still try and increase your plant intake (seems a little low). Also once you have the problem under control that doesn't mean that you don't have eggs ever again. It could mean you have other issues in the body that are just being amplified by the eggs. This points to eggs being the issue when it could just be your body is still healthing.

Please keep us informed

Eggs cause Constipation. Eggs where always used to 'bind' the stools when one suffered from Diarrhoea. If you are even slightly prone to Constipation you should keep eggs to the minimum.

the egg yolks are the fattiest part of the egg, and the whites contain protein as well, which is why when people diet, they eat only egg whites because the yolk is actually pretty fattening. (mostly good fat, but at 4 egg yolks a day, not ideal...) it is very common for people so experience egg intolerance, but it usually has the opposite of the effect you think it has on you. take the eggs out for a few weeks and see....
