What Are the Symptoms of Egg Intolerance and Allergy?

The symptoms of an allergic response to eggs and a general intolerance to eggs overlaps. The only way to prove immune system involvement is either by one having a severe allergic response or by testing. The physical symptoms of food intolerance can manifest as skin problems, asthma like symptoms, hives, flatulence, bloating, abdominal cramping, sudden change in the frequency, texture and color of feces, severe headaches, hot flash sensations and tiredness not attributable to another cause.

The symptoms of an intolerance can vary from person to person and from exposure to exposure. The symptoms will most likely vary depending on the quantity of the offending food that has been consumed, and the time of onset can be within minutes or at anytime that the offending food is traveling through the gut as it is processed by digestion. After excretion it is gone, thus allowing symptoms to begin to abate. If there is continual intake of the food, symptoms will most likely continue.

Other possible symptoms of any food intolerance can be the same symptoms as so many other maladies and consequently, a food intolerance and an egg intolerance specifically can go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as something else for years and years.  Below is a list of possible symptoms that can arise from an egg intolerance.  One or all could mean you have an egg intolerance.  It could indicate another disease or disorder too, so this list must be taken with a grain of salt, so to speak.  Simple blood tests are available to rule out or rule in whether there is indeed an egg intolerance.
