Seventeen year-old Allie knew that she should stay away from eggs for years. Unfortunately, it took her parents longer to understand this was not just a “dislike” of eggs, but an allergy. After one test did not show a positive result, another one verified the allergy.
She does not have a reaction unless she eats something containing eggs, but to be on the safe side, we are careful not to let her touch them either. We have not found the need to eliminate them from the house.
We are always searching for egg-free recipes, especially breakfast foods! We have found with baked goods, substituting oil or applesauce works well.
The moral of this story: Listen to your body when there is something that doesn’t agree with you. It just might be an allergy!
