Egg whites Can Be a Major Trigger for Autoimmune Attacks

Inside This Brief Trailer You Will Learn:

Egg whites can be a major sensitivity for many individuals, not just those with autoimmune conditions.

There’s different levels of reactions when it comes to foods - including intolerances, sensitivities, and full blown allergic reactions.

Intolerances are like a mere upset stomach and something didn’t sit well with you. This can occur hours to days after the ingestion of the potential trigger food. This is something we’ve all experienced from time-to-time.

Sensitivities are very similar, but with slightly more severe reactions, but not life-threatening.

Allergic reactions are most severe and can be life threatening if proper medical precautions are not met. Symptoms of this cold be itchy rashes or swelling, typically around the face after you ingest egg whites. If you feel like this is you, please seek medical advice and call 911.

You may or may not have any varying degree of these reactions when you ingest egg whites.

Albumin, the main protein found in egg whites, is the biggest culprit behind these reactions.

For this discussion, however, we will mainly be focusing on the former two - intolerances and sensitivities.

You might suspect you have an egg intolerance or sensitivity if you experience digestive discomfort such as:

  • nausea

  • vomiting

  • cramps

  • diarrhea

  • bloating

You can also feel other symptoms outside of the digestive tract like fatigue, brain fog, and joint aches.

The easiest way to determine if you have an egg white intolerance or sensitivity is to simply run a self-experiment for 30+ days.

Remove all forms of egg white from your diet, slowly reintroduce them back into your diet in a controlled fashion, wait a few hours to couple days and record any abnormalities (if any) in your food diary.

This can also be done for many other potential trigger foods - I highly encourage this in my programs.

I do recommend performing an elimination style diet to determine if you are sensitive to egg white, however, I would encourage you to do it with the guidance of a coach who can help you meet proper nutrient status while undergoing this.

It can be easy to miss out on key nutrients while following an elimination diet, so it’s key you eat other foods to help you get nutrients you might be missing.

For example, when you eliminate egg whites, you’re probably also going to eliminate the yolk as well. Which, you can just eat the yolk and avoid the white (refer to my video below to see how).

But if you are also avoiding the yolk (where most of the nutrition is), you'll be missing out on:

  • vitamin D

  • vitamin K2

  • vitamin E

  • vitamin A

  • choline

  • lutein

  • zeaxanthin

  • essential fatty acids like EPA and DHA

  • Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)

  • calcium

  • iron

  • phosphorus

  • vitamin B12

  • folate

  • manganese

  • selenium

And a host more!

As you can tell, egg yolks are one of nature’s best multivitamins. So if you’re limiting your consumption of egg yolks in order to avoid egg whites, you’ll want to make sure you’re replacing them with nutrient-dense foods and not processed foods.

I’m a fan of consuming grassfed beef organs for this reason.

I know that sounds repulsive to some, so I’ll just cut to the chase and recommend my favorite desiccated organ supplements. You get all the benefits without any of the taste.

I recommend giving them a try even if you aren’t cutting out egg yolks because of their nutrient-density.

If you’re already consuming organ meats in food, that’s best! I take these supplements when I travel.
