What to know about egg white
Is egg white a trigger food? On food chemistry it is clean: low in histamine, salicylates, FODMAPs and the rest of that family. Its trigger story is a different one. Egg is a top allergen and one of the six foods removed in the six-food elimination diet for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and egg white carries most of the egg proteins that cause reactions (ovomucoid, ovalbumin). So egg white can be a genuine problem through IgE allergy or EoE even though it is not a histamine or FODMAP trigger at all.
Watch for
- Egg white holds the main egg allergens (ovomucoid, ovalbumin), making it a common IgE food allergy, especially in children
- Egg is one of the six foods excluded in the six-food elimination diet for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and egg white is the more allergenic part
- Clean on food-chemical triggers: low in histamine, salicylates, tyramine and FODMAPs
- Vegetarian but not vegan
