Gil Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 If your kids are allergic to eggs how did you find out? My youngest got ill a few days ago and had, after 2 days of being sick, finally started to feel better. He ate some eggs today and got sick again. He doesn't want to eat anything else right now. I'm trying to consider if he really could be getting sick from eggs or if he just wasn't ready to eat again just yet. EDIT: Pal eats eggs almost every single day. It seems bizarre that he could have been eating something for 4+ years and we never know he is allergic to it. I mean, isn't egg allergy supposed to be severe as in need an epi-pen or a trip to the ER severe? Can a person even have a subtle allergy to something like eggs? We don't drink milk because of lactose intolerance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 You don't think he's just still sick? Maybe it was just too much after being sick for a few days? I guess I'm confused - was he sick from eggs initially? Just trying to understand what makes you think allergy? (And, yes, you can develop allergies later, I'm just not following everything here probably.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkyandtheBrains. Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I developed an egg allergy as an adult. I always ate eggs then started getting mildly sick to my stomach when I ate eggs. Each time I had egg I'd get more sick. My symptoms were vomiting, diarrhea, severe abdominal pain and a migraine. When it started the symptoms were very mild.

Gil Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 I think that he's just still sick but someone on this board had commented about eggs and it just made me (over)think the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he's been sick, I wouldn't jump to conclusions. There have been some norovirus like bugs going around here, maybe in your area too? But if you are worried, keep an eye on it. I hope he's feeling better soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess in the Burbs Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hives when he touched anything with egg in it. Outgrew it though after a few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plateau Mama Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Yes you can have a mild allergy. Yes they can just appear. Happened to two of my kids. One broke out in hives upon eating eggs. One threw up. Both were able to eat th again after a year or so. That being said I'd probably lean more towards still being sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splash Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 My daughter had hives with the very first bite she took at age 12 months. Still allergic at 12 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickerplum Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hives, swelling and vomiting for my daughter. We found out when she was about 3 months old - she couldn't even tolerate eggs via breastmilk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in NH Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I think eggs are a poor choice for anyone just coming off a stomach bug. We stick with the B.R.A.T. diet here for a full day after the vomiting has completely stopped: banana, rice, applesauce, toast/tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
