In case you’re new or you’ve forgotten, The IBD Siren series focuses on foods that are tempting, yet terrible for people with Crohn’s Disease. Eggs are definitely on that list. You wouldn’t think so, right? They’re simple, natural, and a good source of protein. However, a lot of people are allergic to eggs. Even if you aren’t though, if you have Crohn’s, they’re a bad idea.
You see, Crohn’s is an autoimmune disorder. It can trigger inflammation for even the mildest of irritants. So, even if you aren’t usually allergic to eggs, they can still give you a stomach ache or diarrhea. I can usually eat them when I’m healthy, but when I’m having a flare, they are bad news.
Just another fun thing us Crohnies have to deal with.
