Maybe not nearly as easily, but at least somewhat. Egg nog is obvious. A sandwich with mayo that triggered it could have been eggs from mayo - it seems like that would be too little to set it off, but maybe not? Chicken Alfredo night had egg noodles and cookies which had egg. The sausage pasta night is hard to remember... I might have had a lot of cookies that night too? But still, if the whole batch of cookies has two eggs, and there are 27 cookies in a batch, would even 5 cookies (how many I will have at the very most if I'm a little binge-y) be enough to cause an issue.

 

It sounds like there could be a link here - easiest way to test it out would be to stop eating eggs and gradually return to normal otherwise with your diet, and then try reintroducing eggs (starting with a very small serving - e.g., a small bite) if you want to confirm that they were the source of the issue. It's also possible that you might tolerate the egg yolk, but not the whites. 

 

I'll leave this here since it sounds like you may need an egg replacement for your cookies: https://thrivingonpaleo.com/14-aip-egg-substitutes/ (gelatin "eggs" are the one I'm most familiar with - I will have to try out the others!)

I still exist! I needed a break from the internet.

 

Been killin' it on the fruit and veg and tracking front. Weight loss so far is 6.9 lbs. Low to no issues since avoiding eggs.

 

No movement on the trying of exercises. Bleh. Just don't wanna.

That's great news that you haven't had any more pain since eliminating eggs from your diet! Great job on the nutrition and weight loss fronts, too
