Is Diarrhea after Eating Eggs an Allergic Reaction?
If your doctor suspects that you have an allergy due to which you have diarrhea after eating eggs or any other digestive health problem, he or she will recommend you an allergy specialist for further testing. The allergy specialist will ask you questions like how often you have the reaction, the time it takes between eating a particular food and the start of the symptoms, and whether any of your family members have allergies. He might also perform a skin test on you which involves placing liquid extracts of egg protein on your forearm or back, pricking the skin a tiny bit, and waiting to see if a reddish, raised spot forms which will indicate an allergic reaction to eggs. Also a blood test might be done to check the allergy. However, positive results of skin and blood tests might not be enough to prove that the symptoms are definitely a cause of eating eggs. Doctors may also use a ‘food challenge’ to diagnose the allergy. In a food challenge, you will be asked to avoid eggs or anything
