Eliminate eggs and chicken and see how you do. There are meats other than chicken on the Acceptable Foods List that you can still eat (I see you are on Induction), and while eggs are allowed, they are not necessary in your diet.

First eliminate the eggs and see if u react to chicken. Eggs are a more common allergy, but since the chicken came from the egg (or whichever came first) some people w/ egg allergies also react to chicken but while ch. soup may not be ok for them, chicken prepared another way may be fine. if so, eliminate the chicken, try the eggs again and see if u have a reaction.

When figuring out allergies it is important to isolate eash possible allergen. If u go to an Allergist for testing ask to be tested for egg white and egg yolk separately. Most people will be allergic to the white (or just have a higher sensitivity than to the yolk) and sometimes egg whites are an ingredient in the most unlikely places.

There was a popular thread going around w/ raw egg shakes, if u are reacting to this sort of thing u may still be perfectly fine w/ a hard boiled egg/ omlet etc. Careful w/Mayo too, it is made from eggs!

Good Luck, Good Health!
