Just what you’ve been waiting for; a list of 52 egg sources and alternate names.
Eggs didn’t agree with me for years until immediately after a round of Rifaximin for SIBO, when I was able to have them daily, no problem.
Several weeks later, eggs landed me in the ER. For many months, I was afraid of eggs altogether, even though I still suspected that it was the yolk, not the white, that sent me to the ER (which completely contradicts most studies).
It was really sad because I loved making my gluten-free buns and pouring an egg-white omelet over them. I longed for the days when I can freely eat eggs again.
(Updated in 2020 to add: The day did come when eggs no longer sent me to the ER – when I healed my gut. And there is no reason for me to personally avoid them altogether today. )
Eggs are a Top Allergen
All of this said, eggs are a top allergen and intolerance and many people are very sensitive to them (again, usually the egg white not the egg yolk, but that’s a topic for another day).
Because they are a top allergen, eggs are usually part of the elimination diet.
But remember…..ingredients vs ingredient(s).
People who do not tolerate eggs can stay sick for a very long time because they don’t understand all the alternative names for eggs and egg sources in general.
I have 8+ lists like this (for different foods) in The Gutsy Girl’s Bible: an approach to healing the gut, 3.0. For today, perhaps this is just the list you’ve been looking for!

Very interesting, I get intolerant to egg whites if I eat them too much so I try to space them out throughout the week. Thanks for sharing your list! xo C
I could write a whole post on egg white vs. egg yolk for this very reason:)
I had no idea there were so many egg sources! I often like to use different vegan recipes – so I am going to have to look out for some of these alternatives. There are a few a have not heard of!
