15-month old daughter throws up when fed scrambled eggs, but does not react to other egg products.?
Answers:

yes it is possible for her to have an allergy to eggs but only be effected when you give her eggs by themselves
if it is a mild allergy she may be able to tolerate the small amounts of egg in baked goods
the good news is most children that have an egg allergy out grow it by 5 years of age
good luck

Its the texture, I don't think it has anything to do with the eggs themselves, but the method you are using to feed them to her. I know that my daughter would throw up after eating mashed potatoes, but she wouldn't after eating home fries, or hash browns.

Sorry if I offended you in any way. You are not getting the answer you are looking for here at all. I wish we could help. Good luck at the Dr.'s office. Hope all is well.
I know that this can be a great concern because they may not be able to innoculate her against some childhood illnesses if there is a possibility of her being allergic to eggs. The serum of some vaccines are suspended in egg albumen.
Yeah, it could be the texture. You could try frying them and then mashing them with a fork---this worked with my little brother. Allergies develop suddenly, though, so just be careful. If you think that plain eggs are making her sick, just give her something else for breakfast. If you add milk to your eggs, it might be that. It could also be the shortening or oil you use to fry them.
Maybe she cant handle it...Maybe the texture makes her disgusted...But the point is that she is throwing up...Why do you keep feeding her eggs??
eggs are much more concentrated than the egg products in bread and pasta. so she could be "allergic" or "sensitive" or maybe she just doesn't like them.Easily solved do not feed her scrambled eggs. That is quite possible. I can not eat fresh eggs, but if they are cooked in items you mentioned I am fine. I think for me it is the fresh eggs are more concentrated, where in the other foods it's a small part of the food. Check with her Doctor the next visit she has and they will probably tell you the same thing. Until them try using an egg substitute. They have all the flavor, but none of the tummy turmoil for me.
Try giving her eggs cooked differently see if she still throws up. I would also talk to her doctor!
Instead of asking these idiots on here, most of whom probably don't have children maybe you shuld ask her doctor. He will no more than any of us. But if you want to try mixing the eggs with her grits or cream of wheat or something that may help her keep them down.Source(s):

I don't really have an answer to your question, I would guess that she is probably allergic to the fresh eggs your giving her, but can eat products made with eggs because they are mixed with other ingredients perhaps? I can't say for sure but mainly I answered this question because I felt sorry for you that you had to add so many details to this simple question about feeding your daughter eggs...but I wish you good luck and hope that her doctor can figure this out for you.... Has she eaten eggs in other forms--sunny-side up, hard- or soft-boiled, etc.? If not, I would suggest that she *could* be allergic to eggs, but that breads and pasta don't have enough egg in one serving to trigger the allergic reaction.
Or...did you mix milk into the eggs? She may have a dairy allergy. Some children are allergic to milk but *not* to hard cheeses (like Swiss, cheddar, etc.). It is the protein in foods that causes an allergic reaction. Protein in such cheeses is partly digested by the bacteria that form the cheese, so it is easier for *some* allergic individuals to tolerate.
It's even possible (although unlikely) that she's allergic to the type of oil that you fried the egg in, if you haven't used that oil in large enough quantities in her food before.
The last possibility I can think of is that fried foods just don't agree with her.
I hope this helps...
Ha! Nice to know I'm not the only one who gets fed up with stupid answers! Yes, it is possible for her to be sensitive to fresh eggs. Have you tried fried eggs, or hard-boiled eggs? See if she'll eat those, and how she does. If that causes a reaction, then you'll know for sure. I was assuming it was the texture when I first read your question, but that would be immediate, not after it hit the stomach. Good luck to you.
