Egg intolerance and endo?

[hmount90]

Hi 

In the last 6-12 months or so I have noticed that I always feel nauseas after eating eggs. So much to the point of dry wretching. I don't really eat eggs anymore but sometimes I'll try one on toast just to make sure. 

I'm wondering if this could be linked to endo? Maybe due to oestrogen? it has only come about since I discovered my lady problems. Does anyone else have this egg problem? Or any other food intolerances? 

Thanks

Omg I do!!! Mine developed about the time I started having problems with an ovarian cyst. I didn't realise it til a lot later. Even though cyst has now been removed I still can't eat eggs. Weird. Glad I'm not the only weird one

OMG yes! I had an ovary cyst too.. And the egg problem probably started after then! So weird. Glad I'm not the only one too haha

Me and my friend call this egg head. I get a weird headache and feel sick after eating eggs. Its so strange and nice to kmow other people get it to.

Yes!!! I've noticed it within the same time frame. I have stopped eating them completely but I did seem to feel at least somewhat less sick if I only ate egg whites vs. eggs with yolks. I didn't even entertain the thought of it being related until I saw this. So interesting...

Yep - for me eggs, dairy and red meat - ties in with Endo diet advice to cut them all out.

Yup same here! I can tolerate them when they are mixed up with something else (like baked in a cake etc) but on their own, they make me sick. Repeatedly. It's not good. I have already cut out all other dairy, so I figure it's not that big a deal!

I've been thinking about doing this and have already cut out wheat with some success. What's the best way to find someone qualified and reliable to test?

Interesting... eggs are one of my "go to" foods for a quick dinner when I'm not up to lengthy dinner prep.

Thanks for all of your replies! I'm happy I've found out it might be linked. And that other girls have the same problem and I'm not just batty! There is something else in my diet that bloats me but unsure what that is yet so I've been keeping food diaries. I will definately organise an allergy test.  

Thanks

I know this is a very old post but.... I was literally talking to my mom about this exact issue last week!!! I do have endo. As far as I know my mom who is 75 and has 4 children does not. But we both have the “egg thing” as we call it..for me it started in my late teens. I probably had endo by then. I love the taste of eggs and have no problems with them mixed in food like cakes. But if I try to eat a fried egg or egg salad I have about one bite then the gag reflex kicks in and I get very nauseous. Every once in a while I try again to the same result. I’ve always wondered about this too and now I do wonder if it’s endo related. Again I know it’s an old post but wow it really hit home for me.
