Not me, but my doctor recommended cutting dairy, nuts, and eggs .... I know that dairy and soy are typically the first recommendations, but she said that in her practice, she sees dairy, nuts, and eggs most often.

My LO has improved a ton since reducing dairy and eliminating nuts, so it looks like he inherited his daddy's nut allergy whomp whomp. I don't think it's dairy bc I still have it for 2/3 of meals. Hope you figure it out soon!

@travellingbee: yes, sort of. He began to tolerate small amounts in my breast milk around 14 months. I increased my own consumption from there. At two he could have tiny amounts in baked goods and at three he could eat some actual egg. By four we didn't really consider him allergic but I have a feeling that he still has some sensitivity it's just that his body is bigger so one egg is not such a large amount to make an impact. I do have to add though that a secondary symptom was that whenever he would have eggs his immune system was lowered and he would inevitably get a cold or virus. In retrospect the only small colds he had as an infant were when I accidentally had eggs.

I thought mine did. Eggs were one of the things that I eliminated based on a food diary (the others were dairy, soy, nuts, peanuts, and corn). Symptoms for everything were the same, basically fussiness and mucousy/bloody diapers.

Later, after I'd put eggs back into my diet (around a year) and we introduced eggs to LO, we actually thought she was allergic to them because she would vomit on weekend afternoons and like you, we only ate eggs on weekends. In our case though, it turned out that she was getting carsick. I know that's totally different, but I'm pretty sure my LO never had an egg issue at all. It's so hard to know though. Now she eats eggs almost every single day (she is 2).

Both of my kids reacted to eggs in my breast milk, and they're both allergic to eggs too (and a whole list of other food allergies). They had excessive spit up, eczema, and mucousy green stool (with blood occasionally).

A similar thing happened to me and nuts. I would only eat them on occasion, and that's when I would notice bloody stool in LO's diapers. It took me a while to make the connection. Once I eliminated it, I didn't find anymore bloody stool. Maybe cut out eggs for a week or two to see if he improves.
