egg allergy

[butterfly2]

im allergic to egg, its not a really serious allergy but i get really bad tummy ache and was sick last time. I can have egg noodles and pasta because the egg is dry egg and more cooked. Has anyone got any dessert ideas that would be possible to make? cake is obviously not a possibility...

I found this website that has cookie and cake recipes for you:
http://www.eggless.com/

I also found this recipe:
REGGAE BARS
These were originally called "Calypso Bars" (Women's Day Cookie Cookbook), but I've changed it some and have renamed them for 1983! I first made them for Arthur Korb, our jeweler friend who lives in Santa Barbara. He does not eat eggs and loves sweets. I am always challenged to find a cookie recipe without eggs that is really good. This one fits the bill.

2-1/2 squares unsweetened chocolate
2/3 c. hot water
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1-1/3 c. chopped dates
1 c. butter
1 t. vanilla
1/2 c firmly packed light brown sugar
1-1/3 c. sifted flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1 c. chopped nuts
1-1/2 c. rolled oats

1. Melt chocolate in hot water. Add granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Add dates. Cook over low heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Blend in 1/4 c. butter. Add vanilla. Cool.
2. Cream together remaining 3/4 c. butter with brown sugar until fluffy. Sift together flour and soda. Add to creamed mixture and blend well. Add nuts and oats and mix until crumbly.
3. Spread batter evenly into a well-greased 10 x 15-inch shallow rimmed baking pan. Sprinkle with nuts, pressing them gently into the batter.
4. Bake in a 325 degrees oven for about 25 minutes or until center feels firm to the touch and the sides begin to pull away from the pan.
5. Cool on rack, then cut into bars.
Makes 30 squares.

Sherry trifle, fresh fruit salad, apple pie etc but without the egg of course.

You sound similar to an ex of mine who was allergic to eggs. She used to get tummy ache and wind a little with white but really bad with whole egg/yolk.

As Edwina Currie famously got in trouble for telling us, salmonella exists in raw eggs (not quite as many as she suggested, but still common) which is why you�re advised not to give raw egg to pregnant women and sick or old people, whose immune system is not working at 100%. It lives in the yolk not the white (which explains country-boy�s friend�s experience).

If this is a recent thing for you or has got worse recently it could just be that your gut is very sensitive at the moment or you already have something in your tummy that your body is fighting. Avoid absolutely raw eggs, but cake should be OK as the egg is cooked. And perhaps not scrambled eggs or omelette��. Give your tummy time to recover, then experiment to isolate whether this is really an allergy or a case of dodgy eggs.

Hope this helps.
