Sick after eating eggs

I've been having this problem the last few months, where I get sick after I eat eggs. I can't eat them at all unless they're in baked foods or something like that. I always get a queasy feeling in my stomach, sometimes along with a tension headache. I don't know why I'm having this reaction to them, because it's never been that way. I haven't tried organic eggs yet, I'm hoping that if I do that I won't feel sick after them. I figure it's worth a shot, because I really like eggs.

Why could this be happening?

could be that you've developed an allergy to eggs. if it continues i would suggest an allergy test.

Comments on this post
ZoeMarie agrees: that was my first thought.
artlady agrees: Yes,very true,you can develop an allergy at any time to something you have consumed for years!

or it could even be something you eat the eggs with. like, i always have to have ketchup on my eggs.
are you eating fresh eggs? are they cooked all the way? if yes to both of those and it's even after plain eggs, i'd lean towards possible allergy too.

Well no I usually just have them scrambled, sometimes with cheese, and a bit of salt and pepper, sometimes i add green peppers, ham, etc.

the thing is, is that there are eggs in pastrys adn stuff, and it doesn't bother me then. Someone told me it could be because of the brand of eggs I'm eating, depending on what the producer feeds it's chickens, I don't know. I want to try organic eggs. Hopefully that helps

it could be a sensitivity, not an allergy. eggs in small amounts wouldn't bother you, but larger amounts and/or more concentrated (not part of a dough) would have more of an effect.

think of it like being lactose sensitive. milk in moderation or in something is fine, but large amounts of milk products and plain milk are not.

try the organic eggs, or even farm-fresh eggs, and see if it makes a difference. if it doesn't then i would still suggest an allergy test.

how do you know its not the cheese, rather than the eggs? or the ham for that matter? cheese is probably more likely to cause headache or allergies,depending on the type and strength of the cheese,plus it can be sickly too.

Because whenever I eat cheese or ham it never bothers me. It's always just the eggs.

I think I'm going to test out the organic egg thing, you're probably right. My boyfriend's dad always has organic eggs inthe fridge, I think I'll ask him to let me make one to try that theory. You're probably right though, about the sensitivity thing. If I was allergic, I don't think I'd be able to have it in pastrys even.
