Can A Person With An Egg Allergy Eat Duck Eggs?

Posted by: Alan in Milk Allergies, tags: Allergy, Duck, Eggs, Person, With

My son is allergic to eggs (chicken eggs, I’m assuming is what they tested for) and cows milk. He drinks goats milk no problem. So I’m wondering if I could apply this logic to the egg allergy. It’s a crazy question, I know, but It would be so great if i could feed him scrambled eggs in the morning. Hopefully someone out there knows a little something about this.

You should speak to his allergist, but since chickens and ducks are both fowl, it would seem logical that the same proteins would be present in both a chicken egg and a duck egg.

possibly -talk to the allergist about a food challenge in the office.

My daughter has an egg and dairy allergy. On her allergy report, it says that she can have duck eggs. So, yes, more than likely they would be a suitable substitute for your son. Good luck!
