This is just great...I have Egg-bird syndrome!

[AnaD]

For weeks I could not understand why every once in a while I would get stomach cramps and start to vomit

. The quiche for dinner night was the worst night ever! I figured it out finally and I am not happy to say it has been the eggs all along making me sick.
Just this year I started my flock of chickens and it seems now I can't even eat their eggs.
Does anyone else have this Egg-Bird Syndrome or know about it?

I had never heard of eggbird syndrome! I am so sorry that you are having to go through that.

You must be beside yourself about it. Do you have the allergy to the birds as well or just the eggs?

Wow! I had never heard of such a thing! I am so sad for you.

I hope someone else on BYC can give you more information or suggestions.

I have a lady that will only buy fertile eggs because her daughter is allergic to eggs, but she can eat the fertile ones. She was told by her DR. that once they have been fertilized it changes their genitics to the same as chicken. I don't know if this is true or not, just what she told me. You might want to check that out.

My son is allergic to runny yolks. He can eat them if hard cooked or scrambled. The doctor said cooking changes a protein in the egg.

If you are allergic to hen eggs, you might try duck eggs. Many people who are allergic to hen eggs can eat duck eggs.

No guarantees, but it is worth a try.

X2, we have people who buy both because of an allergy with a family member.

That is possibly one of the strangest "strange-but-true" things I've ever heard. But, kind of similarly, that's how Humera and other rheumatoid artheritis medications work. RA is your body's immune system rejecting your joints. In many FEMALE RA patients, symptoms are greatly improved when they get pregnant. Evidently, a woman's body turns off its rejection response so as not to reject the pregnancy. So, Humera-type drugs attempt to reproduce the conditions of pregnancy that turn off the immune system, and stop the attack on your joints.

Maybe it is something similar to that?

that is a bit odd. Really sucks tho!
My granny is allergic to turkey but not chicken. I always thought that made no sense! A turkey, meat-wise, is the same as a chicken, isn't it..?
