Sudden reaction to eggs - have I given myself an allergy?

[Gonzalez2]

Hi, I've been trying to follow a LC diet and as a result have taken to eating eggs most mornings for breakfast. In the last week I've been sick twice immediately after eating them (not consecutive days and not pg!) - has anyone else had this after going low carb? Will it go away? Or, if I carry on eating eggs will I develop a bigger problem?
Thanks!

No idea but have you tried eating an egg at a different time of day to breakfast to see if the same thing happens? I find myself feeling sick in the morning if I haven't had much tea the night before, or if I ate tea particularly early.

So it could just be a low carb/empty stomach thing? Hope so! I'm a bit reluctant to experiment...
Thanks!

I had a bad reaction to eggs, but more D than V.
Was very unpleasant and I couldn't eat eggs for a while.I did find it was less of a problem if i ate them with something else, and try different types of eggs too.

I had this once. Would vomit shortly (minutes) after eating eggs. It went away eventually, I just avoided for a while and the. Made sure if I ate something like scrambled egg, I didn't get up and move about much for a little while.

I am fine now.

I cannot eat much in the way of eggs, and subsequently tend to shy away from the LC way of eating.

My problem is of D and not V - it can only take 10 minutes if I'm really unlucky

Are they happy eggs by any chance?

[Gonzalez2]

Crikey- that's exactly it! Glad to hear it went for you. I haven't had a problem with baked things though so really it can't be an allergy.
They're Ocado eggs. Happyish? Do people add things to eggs?

[RobotBananas]

Certain eggs definitely made it worse. Happy Eggs werethe worst for me (still are). Burford eggs are fine though

[Gonzalez2]

I will investigate! Thanks for your comments

My sils are allergic to eggs - one cannot eat anything with eggs, the other can eat eggs in baked goods like cake but would feel ill eating meringes or scrambled eggs.
Dh has a nut allergy - he can't eat raw almonds but when they are baked in something it's fine, I think the action of heat destroys some of the allergen - so I don't think you can discount the allergy theory.
