Would Being Allergic To Eggs Cause Hives?

My son is almost 3 he is allergic to eggs (he broke out in hives with in minutes of eating the eggs) and we have kept them out of his diet for the last 2 & a half years. Since it is something that he could out grow we recently tried him with just egg whites... with no hives that was this week-end but he have been having very loose stool could that be a reaction?

Yes, definitely that is due to the reaction of the body to the egg proteins. No problem if he is allergic to eggs. Egg contains mainly the proteins ans you may fulfill this deficiency from other proteins. Salmon is a good protein. Dairy foods are rich in proteins. Give him full cream milk and yogurt. But avoid giving him the eggs. He is genetically made to be allergic to eggs and nothing is going to work. So, don't try even the egg white.
