Question 1

what is the definition or description of: egg white allergy?

Accepted Answer

Egg white allergy: A egg white allergy is an exaggerated immune response due to exposure to egg white protein. The reaction can present with typical symptoms of hives, respiratory symptoms (cough, wheeze, shortness of breath), GI symptoms (abdominal pain, vomiting), swelling, loss of consciousness, and can be fatal. Symptoms typically present within minutes to a couple hours after ingestion or contact.

Question 2

is there anyway as an adult to get over an egg white allergy?

Accepted Answer

Avoidance: is the key, if it is a true egg white allergy, keep an antihistamine and probably an epinephrine injection handy in case of accidental exposure. You need to see an allergist / immunologist for evaluation, check aaaai.org or acaai.org for an allergist in your area, good luck

Question 3

my daughters allergy test was positive for milk and egg white. she was drinking nan. i now bought a soya formula . can she use nan ha?

Accepted Answer

Nan Ha: Nan Ha is a partially hydrolysed infant formula made from cow's milk.  If your daughter's allergy test was positive for milk you should avoid it.  Also soy cross reacts with cow milk.  Ask your baby's doctor if she should be put on a fully protein hydrosylate formula.

Question 4

female 12yo allergies test ige alternaria alternata very high. ige (rough marshelder, egg white, milk, wheat ) low. last week was 7 days in hives b4 did testing. can you explain? what possibly caused it? should refrain from anything?

Accepted Answer

Allergy treatment: I would suggest an inbox consult to review the lab and clinical findings.
Avoid the identified triggers, use a mild bleach solution in the bathroom. Use a HEPA filter unit at home. For symptoms such as nasal discharge and itching, consider an over the counter antihistamine and nasal steroid.

Question 5

could a women still ovulate without having egg white discharge?  could alcohol, drugs, and over weight b the problem? plan b n bc i thnk messd me up

Accepted Answer

May happen without: Not all women will notice the "egg white" stringy discharge at the time of ovulation. Also, the timing of ovulation is not always predictable, and can be affected by hormonal contraceptives. Alcohol and drugs should, of course, be avoided when a woman is trying to get pregnant.

Question 6

i had a 26 days cycle but saw egg white mucus on day 26-29. was that ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: With a 26-29 day cycle it is highly unlikely ovulation at the end of cycle.  Typically day one of cycle is the first day of the period.  The last day of the cycle is the first day before the next period.  Ovulation usually occurs about in the middle of the cycle, around day 12-14 with a 26 day cycle.  Egg white mucus can occur for many reasons

Question 7

i have a 32 day cycle. on cycle day 12 i had clear egg white cm. dose this mean i have ovulated?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Often women will make a thicker clear mucous discharge at the time of ovulation

Question 8

could plan b ec cause me to have more egg white like discharge? i've had this for about 4 days, it's getting a bit thicker and a little pasty

Accepted Answer

Maybe: That is not a typical side effect. You may want to get std testing if you have been having unprotected intercourse.

Question 9

what does milky white discharge a few days after i had clear egg-white stretchy discharge indicate?

Accepted Answer

Alone not much: Clear discharge usually is ovulation  milky white is often due to yeast but does not need rx if there are no other symptoms.

Question 10

if i eat a whole cooked egg, does the egg white negate the nutritional effects of the yolk, such as biotin?

Accepted Answer

Eating whole eggs is: fine.  The white has some nutritional value and the yolk lots more.  One does not negate the other.  I'm glad you have not bought into the myth that yolks are bad for you.  Peace and good health.
