Eggs and egg products are listed among the ingredients causing allergies or intolerance.
Egg intolerance is defined as egg-white-induced, small intestinal mucosa damage that is reversed by an egg-free-diet and reoccurs on challenge.
It is an abnormal physiologic response to ovalbumin in genetically predisposed individuals.
Although egg intolerance has often been associated with children, it can arise at any age.
The reaction includes metabolic, toxic and inflammatory response to ovalbumin.
Egg intolerance can produce eczema and a rash. Sufferers need to avoid all eggs and egg products.
