I considered the change in weather ~ its gotten cold and rainy in Portland. I wondered if it was growing pains ~ there are many things demanding consideration and modification in my life right now. And then, tonight, I discovered what could be a third culprit. . . lysozyme from egg whites.<br \/>\nI should probably back up a bit here. Eggs are a near perfect food. I&#8217;m a huge fan of their inclusion in the diet whenever possible. Eggs are rich in selenium, vitamin A, vitamin D, the B vitamins (including choline which is hard to find elsewhere in our diet and is so important for brain health), select minerals and the much needed omega-3 fatty acids.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s the sunny side of eggs. Unfortunately those assets have gotten a little scrambled in my body. For one, I have a somewhat pronounced sensitivity to eggs. My immune system launches a mild attack in their presence. The effects are nothing severe. They present as a chronic nausea that was apparent without fail each time I tried to add eggs back into my diet. (And I tried! I wanted that near perfect food.)<br \/>\nAnd then there is the issue of the lysozyme in the egg whites.<br \/>\nIn an egg, the egg white has several functions. It provides the storage and transport of nutrients for the embryo, located in the yolk. It also uses enzymes to protect the yolk against microbial attack.<br \/>\nLysozyme are one of those protective enzymes. They&#8217;re a proteolytic enzyme, which simply means that they help break down proteins.<br \/>\nSadly, lysozyme, along with some of the other proteins found in the egg white, can be challenging on the gut. If someone has what&#8217;s called a leaky gut, the lysozymes could lead to increased permeability. And if there is any issue of immune disregulation, as in autoimmune scenarios like Hashimoto&#8217;s, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and the many others, then maintaining the integrity of the gut lining is paramount.<br \/>\nNot only do I have a pronounced sensitivity to eggs, but I also discovered within the last year that I have autoimmune thyroiditis, or Hashimoto&#8217;s disease.<br \/>\n<strong>So what&#8217;s an egg doing on my plate anyway?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt wasn&#8217;t. It was in a capsule. I recently received some digestive enzyme samples from one of my preferred supplement providers. They&#8217;re actually one of the best suppliers at making allergen-free supplements ~ gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free. . . but there it was on the label of the enzymes I&#8217;ve been swallowing for the past few days. . . &#8220;lysozymes from egg whites&#8221;.<br \/>\nIronically, on Thursday morning I&#8217;ll be speaking about&nbsp;<em>Why One Woman&#8217;s Food Can Be Another Woman&#8217;s Poison<\/em>. I&#8217;ll be chatting with my clever colleague Nina Price in her free online telesummit,&nbsp;Cracking the Midlife Code. The egg is the perfect example of that paradox.<br \/>\nMy fatigue could be caused by the change in weather. It could be the extra life challenges I&#8217;m experiencing at the moment. But then again, it could be the consumption of just a bit of lysozyme, something corrupt for my body and its needs. While I&#8217;ll likely never know the true cause, I do know I won&#8217;t be swallowing those pills anymore. And I&#8217;ll be contacting that supplement company to discuss my concerns.<br \/>\n<em>Lesson (re)-learned: Read every label.
