To ask if anyone else feels nauseous after eating eggs?

That's what has recently dawned on me, when I realized hard boiled eggs don't give me the symptoms.

If you pursue allergy testing make sure you go to medical professionals to get IgE testing done (blood tests and/or skin prick). The IgG testing that you see some places, eg in health food shops sometimes, is basically a scam so avoid that at all costs.

The itchy chest sensation plus nausea sounds suggestive of an allergy to me.
NB I’m not a doctor, but DC is allergic to eggs so have some experience.

How are you with raw egg whites, eg in a home made mousse or something?

Yes I've had this!

At its absolute worst I was sitting eating fried egg on toast chatting with my adult ds and just suddenly puked the whole thing back up on to the plate as I sat in front of him. 😬😑 He was pretty shocked and I felt bad for that happening.

I did some research and found someone who'd done some experiments and found they didn't react with nausea if they ate incredibly fresh eggs. There was some suggestion that eggs change when are less fresh and cause intolerance.

I love eggs. I had a month of not eating them for dietary reasons and have only had a few recently. I'm trying to be aware of the use by date.

From your follow up I would say you're allergic to undercooked whites of the egg, the itchy sensation would support that. Type IgE mediated allergic reaction to egg whites into a search engine.

Foods can 'bind' you mentioned eggs with carbs is better, that could well be the case as the carbs may bind with the protein and reduce/ neutralise the reaction. Lots of food combos change how out body absorbs or recognizes nutrients - iron binds with calcium for example, so if you're low in iron don't take the supplement with a glass of milk. Vitamin C on the other hand helps you absorb iron. So yes it's perfectly possible that the carbs are reducing your reaction.

It could be an allergic reaction. Depending on how cooked the egg is ( you may be allergic to the protein in either the white/ yolk or both) will impact you differently as the protein shape changes and your body may or may not recognise it as an allergen. Generally the more 'well cooked' the better. My daughter was allergic and had several "challenges ' in a hospital setting, and she would break out in hives. We eventually were able to introduce eggs in baked cakes etc ( the higher the temperature the more the protein breaks down) and she became 'desensitised' and now she's able to eat all egg forms.

Classic for those of us with gallbladder issues.

I love eggs and eat them in some form for breakfast most mornings. When I was pregnant though and had ‘morning’ sickness I couldn’t stand them, even just hearing the word egg made me rush to vomit.

Yes but only if I eat to many, no more then 2 I'm fine but not duck eggs I find even one too much.

Yep, me too. I can eat eggs in any form except in an omelette. It makes me gag after the first few bites. Really odd!

Yes, quite mildly nauseous for a bit. Particularly omelettes. Boiled eggs I'm ok

Exactly this, but with poached or boiled eggs I'm fine!

I'm fine with eggs on their own but I cannot eat them with cheese. So a cheese omelette is a no-go. Makes me very queasy.

I can eat cheese on its own and eggs on their own, but not together.

I've experimented with this as I love omelettes but they also make me feel queasy. No other eggs do. I need them to 'dry' not greasy and to eat them with a carb and then I'm fine. So omelette with loads of cheese makes me sicky. Omelette with a smattering of cheese and some veg with a slice of toast on the side. All good!

My H cannot abide anything involving ‘obvious’ eggs - be that eggs cooked however, eggy pasta, custard , quiche etc - me? I could live on all these things-

Yes, for a while I've had faint nausea. It's really annoying as eggs are such an easy meal!

Yes I get an upset stomach after eating omelettes. Always cooked through fully but I get diarrhoea after. I also get the dizzy nausea. I’ve always had it and still don’t understand why. I can eat fried eggs as much as I want, other dishes with eggs are fine, like cake. I’ve never tried scrambled though.

Just in case it helps acaai.org/allergies/allergic-conditions/food/egg/

Yes I do, and from mayonnaise. But I still eat them cos I love them!

I do! Especially omelettes. And salmon filets as mentioned by someone else. But smoked salmon is fine. How interesting! I'd really like to know why!

Just to add that the most common allergen is in the egg white so maybe that’s why you’re ok with yolks?

Could it be an egg allergy OP, rather than an intolerance?

Allergies can occur very quickly after eating something which sounds like it’s the case here. With egg allergies the reaction can be dependent on how well cooked the egg is - so sometimes cakes are ok, omelettes worse, mousses or anything with raw egg worse again.

Nausea and vomiting can
be symptoms of allergy. Do you get any blotchiness or rashes at the same time ?

It’s just a possibility though.
