Issues with Egg Yolk?

I can't believe someone else has this issue. I asked my ped and she had never heard of it, but said to avoid the yokes for a while longer.
The 1st time it happened was scrambled yoke with cheese, probably at the same age. And it came back with a vengance. I thought, maybe it was just too hard, having been mixed with the cheese. Two weeks later I made french toast with just yoke and I was wearing egg again. (the funniest part is that my husband came downstairs and made himself a scrabled egg just minutes after)
So, yes, you have a valid concern. But like I said, my ped had no answer. She said it wasn't an allergy, but must be some kind of intolerance. We waited a while (like 6 months) and then started letting her have things made with egg, like baked goods and waffles. Eventually we worked back up to whole eggs and she was fine.

Food allergies are developed because the particle of food made its way into the bloodstream, thus creating an immune reaction. Vaccines are cultured (not sure if all or only part of them, can't remember) in the yolk of the egg. So, the protein is directly injected into the bloodstream. I am not a scientist, you can check my facts, but according to what I have read, that is how the egg allergy is created.
To overcome an allergy, you have to get the immune very healthy, getting the inflammation gone by eliminating the foods that are offending, supplementing, and providing lots of good preventative care measures (chiropratic or osteopathic manipulation are great, in my personal experience).
NAET is supposed to be a good alternative for clearing of food allergies, but I have not tried that. Alternative medicine has some good options (homeopathy with a good classical homeopath). Some kids do "outgrow" it...meaning the immune system is strong enough to heal itself for those kids.
Best of luck, J.

It could be an old wives' tale, but I always heard not to give your kids eggs (at all) until after they were past a year old, as they could develop allergies.

You know, some foods are funny like that with kids. My kids (8 and 11 yo) don't like egg yolks in an overeasy or sunny side up egg. They'll eat the egg yolks only in an egg sandwich. I've noticed that kids are also picky with meat too. Maybe it's too early for eggs for her. Ask your baby's physician the next time you visit.

Some people are highly allergic to eggs, whites and yokes. I happen to be one, but I just feel a little off and lethargic. There is a blood test that tests 90 different foods. I understand a high percentage of people who are tested are allergic to eggs. They don't always have an obvious reaction. I did not give my girl eggs until she was about 2. She is 3 now and has them occasionally. FYI ~ We don't eat corn and wheat, nor anything with corn and wheat in it. They can be another one of those sneaky ones.
Hope this helps.

Hi - I have definitely dealt with the egg issue. My now 9 year old son had an immediate reaction to eggs the first time he touched them after his 1st birthday. We tried again the next day and the same thing happened -immediate rash on his face. Our allergist at the time told us to avoid scrambled eggs, mayo, and things where the eggs were not necessarily cooked all the way, but he could have cake, cookies, etc. because the amino acids changed when cooked, and he was probably not allergic to them then. We followed that plan until he was around 2, and we moved and saw another allergist. He did the skin test on him then, and he tested highly allergic, not anaphylatic, but highly allergic. This allergist had us avoid all eggs in hopes to help him outgrow the allergy. He got tested every year until he was 5 and there was only a slight change in his reaction. After that he was tested every two years because the chance of his outgrowing it was smaller. FINALLY at 8 1/2 he outgrew it. Talk about party! Bottom line is you probably need to see an allergist about it, but it is an allergy that is frequently outgrown. There is hope! Oh yeah, and as someone else commented, the flu shot has egg protein in it, so you might want to avoid it. Our allergist tested our son at 4 to see if he could get it, and he had a reaction.

My little one has been eating egg yokes since she was 4 months old. She loves them, we mix them with a little milk.

Have you thought about the quality of the eggs you are using? Most of the brands in the store are horrible, and they are old.

Seek out fresh eggs from local farmers. My daughters eggs are from pastured chickens that are fed no soy. It's important to know where your food is coming from...

We had major issues with our son and eggs. At 14 months I gave him a bite of a yolk, and his entire bottom broke out. The pediatrician said that is was not an allergy, or it would've been on his face or mouth (which it wasn't). Going with my better judgement I didn't give him anymore. About a month later, he started having meatballs and muffins...both of which were made w/ eggs. Anyhow, the rash reappeared, and it took us months to figure out it was from the eggs in foods I was preparing (because I still had not given him just a plain egg). Again, I was told it wasn't an allergy, blah, blah, blah. I stopped giving him foods w/ eggs, and the rash cleared up immediately. At 18 months he had a horrible reaction to peanuts so we took him to an allergist. After a series of testing, and an allergist saying the egg thing didn't seem like an allergy, but he'd test him anyway, we discovered he is indeed to eggs. Supposedly not to the yolks (easiest way to tell is if your daughter can handle chicken, because the yolk is the protein of the egg). They now assume that his allergy to the whites was/is so severe that from the yolk merely touching the white, he developed the initial reaction, and as I said the muffins, etc. had a whole egg in them. I would avoid egg products until she's 3 then slowly introduce them through a muffin or pancake. Also, just a reminder, the flu shot has egg protein in it, so you may want to avoid her getting that shot if you normally do so.

Hey R.,
your question puzzled me so I found this, hope it helps.

I thought you weren't supposed to do any egg until a year but not 100% sure. Sounds like an allergy to me. Egg is one they tend to grow out of but I would follow the advice of your pediatrician on when and how much to reintroduce after a certain amount of time. It doesn't sound like a serious allergy, which is good.
