Egg sensitivity is one of the important childhood disorders. In combination with peanut and cow’s milk, they represent a majority of food sensitivity cases in infants.

Egg sensitivity symptoms in adults are less pronounced than other food sensitivities, so they are easier to miss. Some people are sensitive to all elements of the eggs. Others cannot eat egg yolks, but can eat egg whites and vice versa. Sensitivity to eggs can be very challenging and can pose significant quality of life concerns.
