ADEAD can it create alergies? page

[PGC]

Hi All,

I usually have 1-2 eggs for breakfeast every day. Yesterday I started to build myself upto A Dozen Eggs A Day (ADEAD) because I'd like to gain some lean muscle mass with the starting strength fitness program I started at the mid October.

Yester day I had only 7 boiled eggs, but by the 6th boiled eggs I started to feel itches. Particularly on the head, and on one of my a feet and forearms.

I will keep it up and see how I go, today I am aiming for 9 eggs.

Does anyone know if this means I am slightly alergic to eggs?

If I keep eating eggs in large quantities, can an alergy develope?

Eggs can cause itchy skin...I'm not sure about developing an allergy, but eating so much of one foodstuff will definitely exacerbate the symptoms.
