Re: hard-boiled egg issues

[Guest guest]

I hate to say this, but personally (and I cannot explain why) hard

boiled eggs make me VERY gassy. I can eat them much better

scrambled. I think a chemical change in the egg or something

produces the gas, but I am just really sensitive to gas because it

bloats me up and causes pain rather than pass on through. I

sympathize though as Luke only eats them boiled, also has sensory

issues so protein is limited, but he chooses to only eat the white

and does not seem to suffer from the gas effect as I do. HTH!

When an egg is immersed in vinegar even through the shell, an actual gas is

produced. Rotting eggs smell of sulpher, however I can't seem to find a

relationship between scrambled versus boiled eggs. (Failed chemistry LOL)

The egg yolks have sulfur. He may be reacting to that. I think

some who have trouble when the yolks are together to better with

scrambled or omelettes etc.

One tip I've read is to but a crack in the hard boiled egg :

" Put the eggs in a pan and cover with cool water.

Begin boiling the eggs and water over high heat.

When the water boils vigorously 2 minutes(Rolling Full Boil), remove

the pan from the heat and cover with a lid.

After they sit for 12 minutes, drain the water and put a crack in

each egg.

Next cover the eggs with cold water for about 30 minutes.

When you crack the eggs when they are cooking, it allows for the

sulfur to escape.

The sulfur causes the green color and the odor.

Always start at the large end first for easy peeling. "

If you want to try this I'd hold off on all hard boiled eggs at

least for a few days.
