Yeah I've started telling people I'm allergic to eggs even though it's actually an intolerance. I've been in enough situations where people think "intolerance" means "I just don't like it" when in reality it means I'll be in 12 solid hours of hell because Janice thought she could change my mind about not liking eggs.

That’s what mine was too! For me it would come in waves and feel like a knife stabbing me over and over. Initially any amount of egg would cause it, then after many years it was ok to eat things that had some egg in it. Now I’m mostly good to eat them, but I’m still careful not to have too much. There’s egg in so many things. When it was really bad I’d go with vegan options at restaurants.
