do eggs cause inflammation - #26105

Priya

I am really confused about whether do eggs cause inflammation because I've been dealing with some joint pain and this weird fatigue that just doesn't seem to go away. A couple of weeks ago, I started noticing that my knees were really stiff, and my hands felt achy. I thought maybe it was just me working too hard, but then a friend mentioned that do eggs cause inflammation and I just can’t stop thinking about it. I LOVE eggs, seriously, they are like my go-to breakfast but now I'm second guessing everything. I was eating them almost every day, scrambled in the morning or in salads, but now I'm wondering if that's been making it worse? I even did a little research, and I read some articles suggesting that for some people, do eggs cause inflammation, especially if they have certain sensitivities! Then there's others saying they are totally fine, ugh, it's so confusing. Have any of you experienced something similar? Like cutting out eggs and feeling better or just knowing for sure that do eggs cause inflammation in your case? Should I try going egg-free for a while to see if I feel better or is that overkill? I just want to figure this out without cutting out everything I love!

Doctors' responses

Eggs are a nutrient-rich food that generally don’t cause inflammation for most people. They are packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals, and for many, they are a healthy part of a balanced diet. However, it’s possible that some individuals with certain conditions, like egg allergies or sensitivities, may experience inflammatory responses. An egg allergy can trigger an immune response that causes inflammation and various symptoms. On the other hand, there’s a compound in egg yolks called arachidonic acid, which has been thought to promote inflammation, but scientific evidence doesn’t conclusively support the idea that eggs increase inflammation in most cases. Yet, if you suspect eggs might be contributing to your joint pain or fatigue, it could be worthwhile to try an elimination diet. You could remove eggs from your diet for a few weeks and monitor if symptoms improve. Afterward, you can reintroduce them slowly to see if symptoms return. This kind of self-experimentation can be helpful, but I’d recommend you discuss it with your healthcare provider for guidance tailored to your health history and lifestyle. Keep in mind that other factors could also be contributing to your symptoms, such as stress, inadequate rest, or other dietary choices. Joint pain and fatigue can have numerous causes, ranging from autoimmune conditions to nutrient deficiencies, so it might be worth getting an overall health evaluation to rule out other potential contributors. In the meantime, keeping a food diary could help you identify patterns between your diet and symptoms. If you ever experience severe symptoms or have concerns about your health, seeking the guidance of your doctor sooner rather than later is wise.
