Egg Allergy

Any one have a LO with an egg allergy?  If so how did you figure it out?  symptoms?  What has the dr told you?

We think that DD has an egg allergy to the egg whites.  I have given her the yolks of hard boiled eggs and scrambled without any issues.  A few weeks ago, we were out to breakfast so I gave her some scrambled eggs from other DD.  She ate them fine, seemed fine and then later in day started to throw up and dry heave for a whole hour!  it was a little scary, but at no point did she have a hard time breathing or develop any hives.  the only symptom was vomitting.  I held off on eggs since then, but today tried again. We were at home and I scrambled up a plain egg.  She barely ate any- as she didn't seem to like it.  About 2 hours later, she threw up two times.  She seems fine now.  It seems to strange for it to be a coincidence so now I am thinking she has an egg white allergy/sensitvity.  

Any words of advice?

Thanks!

We actually just had to call 911 last night for an egg allergy. My 8 month old had eggs for the third time and broke out in hives , her mouth swelled, and she couldn't breathe right. I don't have any words of advice we aren't seeing the allergist until next week but the doctor said it can take a couple of exposures and that now we need to be more careful of other common allergies like strawberries and peanuts.

S has trouble with eggs. He projectile vomits everywhere whenever he has egg yolks so obviously we have stopped feeding egg yolks. My mum says I was the same way until I was a year.

I myself had an egg allergy/intolerance when I was a baby. I also vomited after eating eggs but didn't have other symptoms (I apparently ruined the new carpets of my parents' friends after we all went and ate ice cream that had eggs in it). I DID grow out of it and love eggs now. I also haven't had any problems with other allergies.

My brother was allergic to anything orange for a time, and he also would get boils after he took a bath (so he took showers from a very early age). Bodies are weird.
