Re: do egg whites make you bloated/gassy?

but I what about this:

"Is it safe to eat lightly cooked egg dishes, or use recipes that call for
raw eggs?

Today some unbroken fresh shell eggs may contain certain bacteria that can
cause foodborne illness. The bacteria are Salmonella enteritidis. While the
number of eggs affected is quite small, there have been some scattered
outbreaks in the last few years. Currently the government, the egg industry
and the scientific community are working together to solve the problem.

Researchers say that if present, the Salmonella bacteria are usually in the
yolk or "yellow." But they can't rule out the bacteria being in egg whites.
So everyone is advised against eating raw or undercooked egg yolks, whites
or products containing them."

What if I got this... does it kill a guy, or just give him the runny shits?

Excessive gas from them shows inefficient digestion iirc?
Could it mean that excess protein was being consumed? That the body
simply didn't need that much protein at that time and was being
excreted?
Then again, where does primary protein absorption occur? In teh stomach?
Small intestine?
I thought that excess protein was mainly excreted in urine, thus the oft
cited "wisdom" that a high protein diet is bad on the kidneys.

The gas is being caused by Bacterial digestion in the lower intestines...
The smell is caused by sulfur in the eggs.

Overcooked eggs are hard to digest completely for many people. We've
actually run a similar thread before on how to cook eggs.

I normally get along pretty good with eggs but I have a similar problem
with hard cooked eggs or over-cooked scrambled eggs. The problem does
not seem to occur as much with steamed, poached or soft-boiled.
They are easier on the stomach too.
