Egg substitutes?

amyksmith76 Posts: 601 Joined: 2005/07/26	2008/02/20, 01:41 PM Hi! Does anyone know of any good egg substitutes that do not contain real egg? I get really sick when I eat eggs, so I switched to egg whites and even to "Egg Beaters" which is a substitute which still contains a little bit of real egg. Even a smigeon of the real egg makes me sick. I'm desperate for a substitute or solution because I LOVE eggs and desperately miss egg white omlets for breakfast. OR, does anyone know if taking lactaid or anything before eating eggs will eliminate my getting sick when I eat them? Thanks!

Stick with the products that say 100% liquid egg whites (not egg sub), which is what I do, and you should be fine. Also, try powdered egg whites (sportprotein.com), and that should work, too. Good luck! -------------- Michael Strength & Conditioning is not everything; it just really sucks to be weak and slow.

I was doing egg white only omlets for months and suddenly started getting sick on those too. Last night I went out and bought egg whites and said that I WILL eat eggs! I don't care if I have to chase it with a bottle of Pepto Bismol! ha ha. I had them about 7:00 this morning and so far so good! The stomach ache usually kicks in about 3 hours after I eat them, so I think I'll be ok! YAY! Not sure what was up for those couple of months. Maybe it was a fluke thing? Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try the powdered whites too.

It's gluten free, which may have been the problem for you. Do you maybe have a sensitivity to gluten, or is it just for the eggs? It's also free of eggs as well. Anyways, the website is https://www.ener-g.com/store/detail.aspx?section=8&cat=8&id=97 so maybe you can check those out. Hopefully it helps!
