To ask if anyone else feels nauseous after eating eggs?

Just that really… Every time I eat scrambled eggs or omelette, I feel sort of travel sick: really queasy (but not an upset stomach) with a slight hangovery headache. It feels a bit like early pregnancy nausea; like I’m not going to be sick but I feel terrible. I was telling my husband before and he looked at me like I was mad, and I’d made us a lovely omelette for lunch (chorizo, peppers, chillies and cheddar) but couldn’t finish it because the nausea had started, and now I feel dreadful! I think I’m past the worst as I’ve started feeling hungry again but does anyone else get this?? What is it?! 🤣

I've got a mild egg intolerance. I can eat a bit if they are in something else but not a main ingredient.
I can't eat just an actual egg or I get stomach pains and feel like shite.

I'm the same with dairy, I can have a set amount a day but if I go over that with an ice cream or milkshake or something then I feel sick and sore stomach and sulphur burps.

It does sound like you may have an intolerance

Yep that's me. Funny enough I'm absolutely fine with poached eggs ! Maybe it's when you add anything to the egg while cooking, even oil for a fried egg?

I’ve started feeling like this after I’ve eaten salmon fillet, and it also feels like my stomach is bubbling away to itself just been the sickness and nausea start. The last time I ate it a few days ago I also had horrendous diarrhoea about an hour afterwards so I’m assuming I am possibly developing an intolerance to it. So, this could be with eggs for you as you can develop an intolerance or allergy at any time in your life.

Yes. I always assumed it was too much protein. Quail eggs are the worst for some reason.

Yes but only after certain eggs. Omelettes make me feel sick about an hour later but poached or fried eggs are fine. No idea why.

No, but clearly you do, so why are you still eating eggs? It could be an intolerance or they just don’t sit well in your tummy. Funnily enough, I’m a bit like this with chorizo. I haven’t eaten it for years as it made me feel sick.

They don’t rest nicely on me either. I don’t feel sick as such, just a bit unsettled.

No...maybe you have an intolerance?
