Does Egg Cause Wind?

Contrary to popular belief, eggs don't make most of us fart. But they do contain sulphur-packed methionine. So if you don't want smelly farts, don't eat eggs alongside fart-causing foods such as beans or fatty meats. If eggs make you bloated and give you wind, you may be intolerant to them or have an allergy.

What foods make you gassy?

Foods most often linked to intestinal gas include:
  • Beans and lentils.
  • Asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and other vegetables.
  • Fructose, a natural sugar found in artichokes, onions, pears, wheat, and some soft drinks.
  • Lactose, the natural sugar found in milk.

Can egg white cause gas?

You might have an intolerance to the egg white, egg yolks, or both. Such an intolerance most commonly leads to gastrointestinal upset, such as abdominal bloating or diarrhea. In some cases, an intolerance can last for years, while others have trouble with eggs for life. It can also occur at any age.
