Hi, I used to be able to have as many as 4-5 eggs during the course of the day. But starting last year, every time I would have even a single full egg, Id get a stomach upset with loose motion. After some experimentation, I realized that I may be allergic to the egg yolk. Can such an allergy develop suddenly, and is there any way to work around it? Thank you!
Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. Although unlikely but yes allergy can develop like this and can cause problem. Body develops antibodies against the egg and when you take it then allergic reaction occur. As you have chronic allergy problem so I would recommend you following things:> Take levocetirizine one at night for 5 days.> Take montelukast one daily for one month. Research has shown that it decreases the allergic symptoms considerably. I would also suggest you to undergo allergy testing at allergy clinic as you have chronic allergy problem. The results will help an allergist to prescribe you immunotherapy, and it will improve the problem. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
