hi, gxnfly, i'm not allergic to eggs, but i don't eat it. since i'm vegetarian (you know, there are meat, fismany kinds of veg. the don't generally eat meat, fish, garlic, onion, eggs, mushroom. some of them still eat egg and mushroom, even garlic. i don't eat meat, fish, garlic, onion, eggs, mushroom, but still drink milk). at the first time yes, it's difficult not to eat eggs. but now that's not the problem anymore. actually there are lots of cakes which don't contain eggs.

i like egg a lot. daily im eating two eggs. sorry for you.

Hello there, it is pity that you cannot eat egg due to the allergic issue. For people like me have no food allergic problem should realize how lucky we are and appreciate the food we can enjoy and taste. Hopefully you won’t miss out many delicious foods. Following your post, I wish the bakery and restaurant can consider making more foods without egg for the consumers who have the allergic problem.

Egg may looks simple and not much harm, but in fact, alot of things contains egg.. I guess it must be really very hard for u to cook or when u'r eating out.. But can u eat chicken??

You can eat cake! Go here: http://www.foodallergy.org/allergens/egg.html They have some substitutes for eggs that will work and not harm you. Now, bake a cake and let me know how it comes out!

I was allergic to eggs when I was a child. My mom baked without eggs but I know alot of the prepackaged stuff I bought had eggs in it. That's probably why i had so many stomachaches when I was a child.I also couldn't take flu shots because of it. The doctor explained to mom that the medicine was grown from an egg. I would start throwing up before I got out the door so finally they quit trying to give it to me.

dont eat eggs why dont you just eat the grown egg "THE CHICKEN" hehehe if you have an allergy on egg you can try cooking egg using vegetable oils better cook the egg well (roasted egg =) ) BTW do u eat raw eggs i mean uncooked eggs.?

My son has an egg allergy, but he is lucky that now he can have foods with egg in them and may have actually outgrown the allergy by now. I was looking for my peanut butter cookie recipe and couldn't find it. I did find the following one on Allrecipes.com and it is just about the same as the one I used. I always just sour the milk if I don't have buttermilk.

it's really sad if you have this illness because you can't eat any thing you want. you are right you should be careful in selecting or choosing right food for you because you will be the one suffer the consequences if you violate the warnings. be careful on the food you eat.

I have a cousin who's allergic to eggs. Her list of substitutes when she's cooking that she uses are 1) Egg Replacer - follow directions on box. (I can't remember the brand.) 2) 2 tbsp corn starch = 1 egg 3) 2 tbsp potato starch = 1 egg 4) 1 heaping tbsp soy powder + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg 5) 1 tbsp soy milk powder + 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg. 6) 1 banana = 1 egg in cakes. - I'm not sure if she adds water to the powder items or not. There was some sort of flour she also uses to replace eggs. I know as well that theres a liquid form of egg substitute available in Canada because she buys it. We also had a lady that was a regular during the summers when i worked at a restaurant that would bring in her own egg substitute for us to cook her with her toast and bacon. She refused to let us stock the stuff because she was pretty particular on the brand and how long it had been open.

I am also allergic to eggs. I am very careful now because the effects to my skin is very abrupt. And its really hard having those inflammation and reddish on my skin. But I am not aware that I have to be careful also eating foods containing eggs. As you have said almost all kind of foods are cooked with eggs, like cakes, bread, etc wherein I also normally eat almost everyday. Im puzzled but I have to be careful really. Thanks for the info.

Ah,I do not like eggs,either. But not as serious as you~\..

I have a very severe egg allergy as well. Even the tiniest bit can throw me into shock and kill me. I know of a couple of powders that work as egg subsitutes, but I have something much better. I have a complete recipe book filled with recipes for cakes, cookies, brownies, breads, pastries, everything sweet...without egg. It's not about a subsitute, its about the correct combination of ingredients to make recipes work. Let me know if there are any specific recipes you would like...I'd be glad to send you my recommendations from the book! I'm not sure if the book is still being published. It was done locally by a local woman whose daughter was also allergic to eggs.

Hi gxnfly! Oh, I am really sorry to know that you have egg allergy. It must be really hard on you. Is there any medication that you can take so that when you eat an egg or any by product of eggs, you won't be suffering the symptoms of the allergies? You see, my sister in law is allergic to all kinds of meat and there are only 2 kinds of fishes that she don't have any allergic reaction from. Basically, she could only eat vegetables. However, her doctor gave her a medication that enable her to eat meat and fishes. This medicine prevented the symptoms to be full blown when she has an allergic attack because of eating those food. Take Care and God Bless! Happy Mylotting!

i used to be allergic to everything, there's actually this treatment or some kind of vaccination where you can get rid of your allergies, that's what i used and now my condition isn't that worse.
