Egg Allergy ????? - Central Falls,RI

My son has a severe Milk allergy. We gave him formula 3-4x before he went into anaphilaxis and each time he threw up after. So it does sound like an allergy. If you havent allready you should see an allergest cause if he has one than one allergy chances are he has many! They will be able to tell you what you should avoid.

I would lay off the eggs for a while and maybe later he will outgrow. My children were both allergic to fish and eggs when they were about the same age. With fish it was vomitting and with eggs it was hives. They are now 4 and 7 and can eat both.

I say, he's allergic. Let his Dr know. Has he had an MMR yet? That is based in egg. be careful.

i would mentionn it to the doctor for sure. my doctor has n egg sensitivity ONLY when she ate actual eggs. she can have eggs in everything else, but just can't eat an actual egg. We figured hers out because she broke into hives ONLY where it touched her on her skin. Keep some benedryl handy. you doctor or pharmacist will give you the dosage, as it does not tell you the dosage for that young of a child. But it is safe for them to take at the correct dosage. no mtte where i go, I always have it in the diaper bag. i hve only use it once, but it was nive to have it handy, instead of waiting until i got home for it.

Go to an allergist and have him tested. My daughter is peanut, egg, milk and fish allergic. We only knew about the peanut- also the HARD WAY - when she accidentally ingested a piece of chex mix that had been in a bag with peanuts at daycare -- and reacted. We had her tested and found out about the others. She had eggs a few times before we knew. She is OK with them in baked goods in small doses but not pure eggs. She cannot have any milk (used to have bad eczema and now has completely clear skin at 3 from avoiding her allergens). Best of luck!

I would not cook any more eggs for him until you get him tested. Has he eaten any food with eggs cooked in them? It sounds like his peanut allergy is much worse than his egg allergy, but I would avoid eggs totally for the time being. And if he has an allergy to peanuts, it could very well be that he has allergies to other foods. I got my son tested around 14 months, so he's not too young. I would recommend it so you know for sure.

My son was diagnoses with egg allergy at that exact age 14 months to the day. It was going for 2 months of reactions before we knew. His is reactive airway, rashes and hives (now) so it was alot hard to pinpoint.

NO EGGS stay completly away from them seek an allergenist, they will tell you that "he has a 45% chance of out growing it by age 5 and a 85% chance by age of 16 but you have to keep him away from all exposures. the more you keep him away the faster he should out grow it." at least that is what Mine told me. I carry an epi-pen and benadyl at all times. when baking use "ENER-G" you can find it in organic food ailes of the supermarkets (most anyway)

It is not as hard as it appears.

its possible. my oldest has been severyly allergic to eggs since around the time of 8 months. we found out because of blood in the stool. he was also allergic to dairy and wheat. we added the wheat back in 2 yrs ago and we just added the dairy back in this may. the egg though we will not be adding back any time soon. i would say just have it checked out. they will do a blood draw to check because he is to young for the skin reaction test. also if baking i have found with MOST things replace the egg with applesauce.
1 egg= 3 tablespoons of apple sauce. i have been using this alot and the only thing that hasn't turned out so far is banana nut bread. it was really just awful.

We actually experienced the same exact thing with our son. Our son vomitted every time we fed him scrambled eggs. After his first birthday, we tried feeding him peanut butter on toast and he broke out in hives. We took him to an allergy specialist and sure enough! He is severely allergic to all nuts and eggs. It is painful to watch the allergy specialist process(they prick his skin) but pays off to know and we now have an epipen for our son, who is 2 now. We have also taught him to not eat eggs or nuts, which he is very good about. He will even ask someone if something has nuts in it before he eats it.

I have a 45 yr. old girlfriend who just became developed an allergic reaction to eggs the last couple of weeks.

My mom had a severe allergic reaction to eggs when we were kids, she was probably mid-30's.

People can develop egg allergies at any age.

So, good sleuth work mom :) From the sounds of it, he is definitely allergic. Does he have any other symptoms, besides the immediate upheaval? Any breathing difficulties? Red, itchy eyes?

Did you have all the allergy testing done on him with the peanut allergy? If not, you should make that appointment ASAP. Insist on getting it done so you know what all your dealing with.

Good luck! And sorry about all the dietary restrictions you'll be forever faced with...You can google egg free recipes. There is a great site with egg substitution ideas.

I would definitely avoid eggs for the time being and consult the doctor. You need to understand, and be sure the doctor explains, that the problem is your child is missing what he needs to properly digest/process the egg. It is not a true, forever allergy that your child was born with! I have friends who have reversed their children's "allergies" (eggs, peanuts, wheat, soy, dairy, and so on) through excellent nutritional supplementation. One noted allergist said it couldn't be done, and now is blown away and told them to keep doing what they are doing. Another friend's child had 60 food allergies and now has none. If you'd like to connect with them, let me know. Great info.

Just to clarify, not every one has just intolerance to egg, uncooked, etc. I know my little guy can't have any noodles, bread, anything, although he also can't have anything with milk either, so it can be tough. But he, like your son, would have diarehea, vomit during, a little while after eating this or even a few hours throughout the night because of this. This isn't for everyone but try asking the Ped. if seeing a specialist is worth the visit.

My son is allergic to eggs. We ended up in the ER after just one bite of frosting that contained raw eggs. That being said, we were told no eggs but he is fine to have baked products that contain eggs as long as they are cooked through - to clarify no bakery cookies (because they are usually a little under cooked to get the gooey taste people like) but store bought would be OK. I had tried to give my son eggs before but he would never eat them and would throw a fit which the allergist told us was because they probably made his tongue tingle due to his allergy to them and kids typically know and try to let you know but refusing them. The only way to really tell is have him tested. I'm surprised they didn't test him for everything when the found the nut allergy.

Sometimes people have a sensitivity or intolerance to a food (different than an allergy), which gives them gastro-intestinal issues because their body just can't digest it properly. Most people just call it an allergy since basically something bad happens when you eat or touch a certain substance. Same thing. I think its easier to outgrow a sensitivy though, than an allergy. Definitely avoid the eggs until he's tested.

Allergies can also develop slowly over time. I grew up eating seafood and shellfish, but around the age of 20 I noticed my mouth felt itchy and I had to cough a lot after eating shrimp or lobster. I finally went to an allergist as this reaction got worse over time and found out I'm allergic to shrimp, crab, and lobster. Its possible that the first few times your son ate eggs he had a slight tummy ache that you didn't know about, and this just got worse every time he ate eggs until he started vomiting from it.

Eggs are a very common food sensitivity. They usually grow out of it...so you might want to revisit eggs when he is 2.5. Definitely sounds like a sensitivity to eggs. Trust your instincts. Better safe then sorry. You need to avoid flu vaccines too because they have eggs in them and he could have a reaction to the vaccination. Talk to your doctor about other vaccines you need to avoid because he reacts to eggs.

Food allergies can develop differently. Many do start with GI symptoms (nausea/vomiting) before escalating to more systemic reactions like hives and airway problems. Definitely get him into your pedi and hold eggs until then.

I think it's an egg allergy. My son is allergic to eggs also - just the egg whites. Egg yolk is usually ok - you can try and give your son just the egg yolk, not the egg white.

My daughter can tolerate eggs in baked goods, but not egg alone. She is outgrowing the allergy slowly, we have her tested each year at the allergist office. The way we can test at home prior, is either my husband or I eat an egg, then give her a small kiss on her cheek. It rashes where our lips touch her skin. So we continue to avoid egg for another year.
