Introduction
In general, whether patients with urticaria can eat eggs depends on their individual allergic conditions. If they are not allergic to eggs, they can usually consume them in moderation. However, if they have a confirmed egg allergy, eating eggs is not recommended. To reduce the risk of urticaria flare-ups, patients are advised to keep a daily record of their diet and symptoms to identify and avoid allergens. It is preferable to choose bland, easily digestible foods.

Generally, whether patients with urticaria can eat eggs should be determined based on their individual allergy conditions. If they are not allergic to eggs, they can usually consume them in moderation; however, if they are clearly allergic to eggs, consumption is not recommended. Detailed explanations are as follows:

If a patient with urticaria is not allergic to eggs and has not experienced discomfort such as rashes or itching after consuming eggs in daily life, they can eat eggs in moderation. Eggs are rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals, which can provide essential nutrients to the body. Reasonable consumption of eggs will not trigger or worsen symptoms of urticaria and can be a choice for daily nutritional supplementation.

If a patient with urticaria is clearly allergic to eggs or has previously experienced allergic reactions after eating eggs, egg consumption is not recommended. The proteins in eggs may stimulate the immune system, triggering allergic reactions that could worsen skin hives, itching, and other symptoms of urticaria, affecting the recovery process.

To reduce the risk of urticaria flare-ups, patients are advised to record their dietary intake and associated symptoms in daily life, identify allergens, and avoid contact with them. Prioritize bland, easily digestible foods in the diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a regular lifestyle, reduce exposure to environmental irritants, and help maintain overall bodily stability.
