A member asked:

I recently discovered my ibs problems were actually allergy/intolerance to egg, but now i'm afraid of common allergens (nuts,fish). is this illogical?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Intolerance: I believe that you are intolerant of eggs with respect to your IBS and since this is not a true allergy there should be no cross reaction to other foods. Any intolerance of other food substances are indeed possible but would not be a true cross sensitivity.
