Gastrointestinal Side Effects of Eating Egg
I cannot provide a meaningful answer to this question because the provided evidence does not contain any information about the gastrointestinal effects of consuming eggs (chicken eggs). The evidence primarily discusses exercise-related gastrointestinal symptoms in athletes, alpha-gal syndrome (mammalian meat allergy), cystic fibrosis nutrition, cancer treatment complications, and poultry meat allergy—none of which directly address egg consumption and its GI effects.
What the Evidence Actually Addresses
The available studies focus on:
Exercise-induced gastrointestinal symptoms in endurance athletes, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping related to physical activity 1
Alpha-gal syndrome, which involves allergic reactions to mammalian meat (beef, pork, lamb) but not poultry or eggs 2, 3
Poultry meat allergy, which can occur separately from egg allergy and involves chicken/turkey meat rather than eggs 4
Nutritional management in cystic fibrosis and cancer patients 1
General Medical Knowledge About Eggs and GI Effects
Based on general medical knowledge (not from the provided evidence), eggs can cause:
- Allergic reactions in sensitized individuals, potentially causing GI symptoms like nausea, vomiting, cramping, or diarrhea
- Salmonella infection if consumed raw or undercooked, leading to gastroenteritis
- Intolerance symptoms in some individuals, though true egg intolerance is less common than egg allergy
To provide an evidence-based answer about egg consumption and gastrointestinal effects, relevant studies specifically examining eggs would be needed.
