Potential egg allergy?
If your baby has an agg allergy, how did it present? My baby has started solids and seems to be reacting to eggs.
I know that with egg allergy/sensitivity, reactions vary depending on how the egg is cooked because of how the proteins are broken down.
We started with boiled white, then yolks, and she had the poops the three times trying it. Next time still had the poops, but for not as long.
Then I tried scrambled and about 3 hours later she threw up violently multiple times and expelled anything she'd eaten that day and was off for a few hours after.
Now I've tried baking it into muffins with Greek yoghurt, banana, oats, and zucchini (all things she's never reacted too), and the same thing. 3 hours after, violently vomited everything she's eaten today and super fussy.
If your baby has an egg allergy, did it present the same way?
I also have a mild allergy to egg white, discovered through skin testing as an adult, and an autoimmune allergy that causes alot of food sensitivities, so it wouldn't be unlikely for her to also have issues.

I just took my baby to an allergist because of his moderate eczema and oh my he is allergic to so many things including eggs. The paediatrician recommended us to start the egg ladder from 1 year old with the help of a dietician. His eggs allergy is a 3 so is not severe but I was scared to try it so we decided to go via the allergy testing route.
Mild hives that went away followed by severe stomach pain and lethargy that warranted a trip to the ER. The hives initially cleared up, but the stomach pain started a few minutes later. 😔
Also he did vomit sooooo much on the way to the ER. Like I did not even realize he had that much in his little tummy.
His symptoms got better after being administered epinephrine, so he was diagnosed with egg allergy.
I’m so sorry to hear this how is your little one doing now?
that’s not too bad, most probably it will grow out of his allergy soon.
Ours vomits and eczema flares with his egg allergy.
he’s doing great now, thank you for asking! Our allergist says it’s common for kids to grow out of an egg allergy so I really hope he does!
symptoms vary so much from person to person! Your worrying definitely isn't far fetched. We're still completely egg and dairy free (as also allergic to that) free, still failing the ladders every time we try and still battling eczema. It's tough!
