Egg White Allergy - Geneva,IL

I have an egg white allergy. I think most breads do not have eggs in them, just read the labels. It depends on how sensitive your child is, I can eat things that have been processed on equipment with eggs without a problem.

Use 1/4 cup applesauce per egg as a replacer for making cookies, cakes, waffles and pancakes. I use Ener-g Egg replacer as well but I found that applesauce tastes better! Your pancakes, muffins and cookies will be softer with applesauce but I've always gotten compliments on how good my cookies are!

For a quick, egg-free dessert make a mug brownie! I often make a mug brownie (with egg-free ice cream!) when other people are eating a dessert with eggs. You can whip up just one serving and your 3-year old won't feel left out...instead he/she will feel special!

4 Tablespoons Flour
4 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cocoa powder (Note: don't use cocoa mix or quik, it shouldn't have any sugar)
2 Tablepsoons Vegetable Oil (Don't use one with a strong flavor, eg olive, sesame, etc)
2 Tablespoons Water
1/4 Tsp Vanilla extract (optional)
Small handful of chocolate chips (optional, mini chocolate chips work best!)
Dash of salt
Mug
Microwave

Add the sugar, flour, cocoa, and salt to the mug and mix. Then add the oil and water and mix the dry and wet ingredients together. Be sure to be thorough, there's a tendency for clumps of the dry ingredients to form.

Microwave on high for roughly a minute. You may have to microwave it longer or shorter, depending on your microwave, but the brownie should still be wet in the center when done.

It's done! Let it cool, grab a spoon, and dig in straight from the mug. I recommend adding a scoop of ice cream for maximum deliciousness.

Hi M., I just posted this response to Shelby, maybe it will help:

The body creates sensitivity or allergies to food to protect itself. But it is really misleading. Allergies often are not to the food itself but to the process or harvesting, cultivation or processing. If you do some research you will find how many people who say they have allergies to a particular food actually can "out grow" it with the right healing of the body. And by healing of the body I mean nourishing it and cleansing it. The body is so bombarded with toxins that it develops "allergies" & "sensitivities" simply because it does not know what else to do. It can not process the amount of pesticides, herbicides and other garbage that is must do something drastic to defend itself.

I have worked with many families who said their child is "allergic to dairy" for example. When we started to feed the body correctly and help the body naturally cleanse the toxins out, the "allergy" all but disappears. This has happened even for the severest of peanut allergies. (BTW peanuts are not as healthy as people think the are...everyone should educate themselves ...Peanuts have large amounts of pesticides used on them...here is a mold that is often created on the peanut known as aflatoxin. This natural carcinogen is a very potent cancer causing agent that has been known to cause liver cancer and other negative effects. There is a slight risk for aflatoxin poisoning if you live in America but to reduce this risk follow this adviceBuy all peanuts products from America. Aflatoxin and its dangers are literally unknown in America due to regulation and awareness. Most problems usually occur overseas so be sure to buy your peanuts from the USA.)

Sure I will agree that some bodies are more sensitive than others, and yes they should be careful what they eat or are exposed to. But I will tell you, in my many years of practice, empowering families with positive food choices, the right nutritional supplements and a natural cleansing of the toxicity, most bodies heal themselves with little to no effort.

Most breads don't contain eggs. It's cakes and cookies you're going to have a problem with. I guess you're just going to have to become really vigillant about reading labels. Also many immunizations have egg component, I'm sure your dr has mentioned this. Good luck, and take care!

For all your baking needs just use Enger-g, it is an egg substitute, and it works great! Also for breads, I know Arnolds does almost all their breads egg free.

I know a couple people have already mentioned it, but the Ener-G Egg Free Egg Substitute is great. My 2-y-o son came up VERY allergic to eggs (both whites and yokes) and this stuff means that he can still have pancakes, waffles - even birthday cake made from a mix. Fair warning, though, you need to add just a tiny bit more water than it says on the box for most things.

As for breads, most commercial breads don't use eggs, but they do pop up in a lot of breadings - like chicken nuggets, for example. They also are included in a variety of pastas and pastries. Your best bet (as mentioned already) is to read labels and become aware of what's in the foods you buy.

My little guy really hasn't missed much without eggs.

My firstborn had egg white allergies. We stayed away from them for awhile, and tried again later. He seems fine now. But, I want to caution you about vaccinations. Some of them say that you should not administer them if you have any egg allergies (the ones made using chick embryos). Just check in to that. You could have a bad reaction.
About the bread, do you make your own, or are you looking for store bought types? The bread I make doesn't use eggs.
