Hi, I had done an elimination diet and reintroduced two foods after a number of weeks: soy and eggs. Had no effect on my intestines, but I almost itched to death. So I would say that I wouldn't have eliminated those two things just to control UC. However, definitely allergic to them.

I must have built up a tolerance to those two things because although I have itchy skin, I don't remember such a severe reaction.

Did you reintroduce them one at a time or together? I'd do one more experiment and try egg yolks because they are so good for you. It's usually the proteins in the whites that are the problem .

I agree with Lodi. I also had issues with egg whites (they made me nauseous) so try yolks first?

Hi Journey2Health -

I don't handle eggs well by itself but I seem to be able to tolerate them when included with other ingredients, like in breads and such.

I left a question for you in this thread regarding your adrenal insufficiency issues: https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=1815355&p=2

I appear to be going through the same thing (trying to regain full adrenal function) - so it would be great if you could answer it. I'm kind of wondering if I should push for hydrocortisone to help stimulate my glands.

Thanks.
