reacting to egg in milk??

I have noticed over the past few weeks that ds2 seems to get quite sicky and unsettled if I eat too much egg. doesn't seem to be if I eat stuff like cake and thigns with egg in, only if I have lots (quiche, egg sandwiches etc)
obviously I am happy to avoid things like that if they're going to upset him, but has anyone else experience this? did your LO grow out of it? did they end up being intolerant to egg once weaned etc?
should I be worried about vaccinations? (more than I already am?)

so far I don't think he is reacting to anything else.
I am going to try and keep a bit of a food diary, is it unfair of me to re-try egg to make sure it's that that is making him ill? i would feel awful about doing it on purpose, plus the screaming isn't very nice for me either.

i had suspected the same about egg allergy tbh, I just wanted someone to say no, it's unrelated lol. wishful thinking eh?

anyone know about vaccines though? he actually hasn't had any of the baby jabs yet as I am delaying them, but are they still cultured in egg? does it matter if he only has a "mild" reaction?

gosh, have just had a look on kellymom. lots of good info there, why didn't I think of that before???
he has loads of "symptoms" of having an allergy to something, but then a lot of them could be normal baby behaviour.
I will definitely be cutting all egg out and see what happens

My DD had dreadful colic, puking, green poo, explosive bum etc etc and after a month of very little sleep and running the washing machine twice daily I decided (more out of desperation than anything else) that DD might be reacting to egg, milk products and chocolate so I cut them all out of my diet (proud face for giving up chocolate). Lo and behold, the colic, puking and amazingly green explosive poos stopped. It might have been coincidence but when she tried egg at the age of one, within 30 seconds, she was covered with red raised spots wherever she'd touched it i.e. all around her mouth, her ear (where she'd tried to insert it), her hands and wrists etc etc. We accidently gave her egg pasta when she was 13 mo and she had the same reaction. We tred again at 2 yo and all was OK although she does now (4.7yo) get an eczma flare up if she has too much egg or dairy i.e. this long post has just been to say that they can grow out of it.
