Do Eggs Cause IBS Symptoms?

by Kirsten Jackson Consultant Dietitian BSc Hons, RD, PG Cert 13 Comments

You may find that eggs cause IBS symptoms. This will confuse you because eggs contain no FODMAPs or fibre. They even have little fat in them.

But surely you can not have an egg allergy as you can eat baked eggs ok and you don’t have anaphylaxis. So what the heck is going on?

In this post I will explain to you why eggs are causing your IBS symptoms and what you can do about.

Do Eggs Cause IBS Symptoms?

Eggs do not cause IBS symptoms.

When it comes to IBS, your symptoms will be triggered by;

  • Fibre
  • Stimulants e.g. caffeine and spices
  • Fatty foods
  • Fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs)
  • Resistant starches

Eggs are mostly protein and only contain a small amount of fat. Now, please do not get confused here before you read on.

Say poached eggs with hollandaise sauce on a brioche bun – you get symptoms. It may well be the other triggers in that meal. In this instance is could be resistant starches, fat in the sauce or FODMAPs in the bread.

With IBS it can be easy to get confused as to what is causing you a reaction. Please avoid becoming overly restrictive before you have 100% assurance of what has caused your symptoms.

Why Do Eggs Cause Digestive Symptoms?

So we know that eggs do not cause IBS symptoms, but why are you reacting to them then?

Well eggs can cause digestive symptoms such as stomach cramps, nausea and diarrhoea (1). If you are experiencing this then you likely have an egg allergy.

Allergies occur when your immune system wrongly react to proteins in your body. Part of this reaction then cause symptoms and in the case of eggs the symptoms may well be digestive.

How Common Are Egg Allergies?

It is hard to say how common egg allergies are due to the lack of accurate data. Most research is done in children and some relies on self-reporting rather than an accurate diagnosis (2).

Why Do I React To Poached Eggs ?

You may find that foods like poached and scrambled eggs cause you symptoms. Whilst eggs that are baked, like in cakes cause no issues. This will leave you confused and probably thinking that eggs can not be the issue.

Well actually, eggs are the issue.

Chicken eggs containsΒ 5 different proteins that you may react to (3). Some of these proteins will denature the longer you cook them forΒ Β (4). So your body will no longer recognise them and so you get no reaction.

How To Diagnose Egg Allergy

If you are getting the types of symptoms mentioned in this post, you will be wanting to know how you can get diagnosed.

So it may frustrate you to know that there is no way to test for this type of allergy. It is known as a non-IgE mediated allergy and the only way to diagnose it is to follow a strict elimination.

After eliminating egg from your diet for a period of time, your dietitian would then guide you through a structured reintroduction. Symptoms which occur on reintroduction would then give you a diagnosis.

Summary

Eggs may cause you IBS symptoms due to other ingredients in the dish. Or your symptoms are not due to IBS, they are actually an egg allergy.

The only way to diagnose this type of allergy is through an elimination diet process. It is best to do this with a dietitian to avoid confusion.

    This is very interesting as eggs can be fine for me sometimes and other times cause nausea – extreme case diarrhoea.This is good to know and I will be experimenting with cooking length.

    I’ve just come across this post, and I finally have answers! Thank you.
    I suffer terribly with plain scrambled / poached / boiled eggs , but pop it in some cake and I’m fine!
    I was thinking I had been given gluten or lactose ( coeliac with lactose intollerance) all this time.
    I guess I’ll have to eliminate plain eggs next too!

    Thank you

      Hi Stephanie!

      Thank you for your message.

      Whilst this must be frustrating, stomach distension isn’t really a symptom of a food allergy. More a food intolerance. I would suggest working with a dietitian to find out what your intolerance is.

      Best Wishes

    Years ago, I ate a runny egg and got very sick from it. since then, I cannot eat eggs without having diarrhea & nauseousness. Is it possible that a food poisoning incident can create a lasting IBS problem? And because eggs do not instigate IBS, is it possible that my body has built an intolerance to egg, or developed an egg allergy from it?

      It is likely you have a non-IgE mediated food allergy to eggs.

    As a long time IBS-D sufferer, I can attest: Eggs cause my IBS-D symptoms to flair. (Or put bluntly, eggs cause me to have diarrhea). I have been tested for allergic reaction to eggs and I have none.

    I have tried the freshest of free range organic farm eggs where I cooked them right after harvest, ate them plain and still had IBS-D.

    I have a brother who shares similar, though less severe, symptoms.

    Like all of my food avoidance, it is dosage dependent. Due to the reaction of my stomach, I can even tell if a bread is based on a high or low egg usage dough. No panettone for me!

    There are other non-FODMAP food chemicals that can cause IBS. Personally, inulin also gets me. I’m surprised “raw onion” doesn’t appear more as a IBS based suspect. Raw onion vs. cooked onion is far more common in a diet compared to, say, Jerusalem artichoke.

    Eggs may not be a common subgroup of the syndrome, but I can attest to it being a real contributor to some people with IBS.

      I am sorry to hear you have these symptoms. Eggs can cause a non-IgE reaction in those who have this type of allergy. This type of allergy can only be diagnosed via an elimination diet and so this is why you are not getting a positive test result. But it is not a cause of your IBS.

πŸ’© Many people I talkt to are trying to manage their IBS through restriction. The irony being that even with avoiding multiple foods, they still have symptoms.

πŸ™ Whilst you may have some food intolerances, it shouldn't be multiple. A restrictive diet will worsen your gut health. Instead of avoiding multiple foods and Still having symptoms adopt the Take Control approach of following the low FODMAP diet to identify specific food triggers and tolerance levels.

⁉️ Have you heard of these symptoms before?

😳 Both of these symptoms can be caused by a few things and one of them is bowel cancer. But we don't know based on symptoms alone so please go and get checked.

🩸Blood can appear on a toilet tissue, in the toilet bowl or it can look like part or all of your stool is black.

βš–οΈ Unexplained weight loss means that you have lost weight despite eating adequate calories and not really changing your exercise routine. It can be common in IBS to lose weight but this is due to eating less food and so it is explainable.

πŸ™πŸ™ If you have either of these symptoms please see your doctor to get checked, don't take the chance.

😫 Suffering from IBS can be difficult and burdensome especially when trying to go about your daily life. IBS is a condition that cannot be seen which makes it even more difficult for others to understand and can often feel very isolating😒. 

πŸ‘‰ Instead of keeping this condition to yourself, adopt the Take Control principle of community and get support from people who also have this condition. You can do this by opening up to friends (1 in 10 people have this!) or joining  online FB groups - this way you won't feel so alone in your fight!
