Answers:     It can happen. My sister be diagnosed with lactose (milk protein) alergy at age 25.

the rest of your life you're going to have to read every sign on every can, jar, or box before buying or opening it. Just because something was undisruptive last week doesn't mean it is now! Ingredients obtain changed regularly without the packaging changing (but the inventory must be law remain correct), especially for preservatives and fillers.

Most bread is indeed safe for you, it's just flower, river (or milk), and yeast. Glazing almost always contains egg though, as do pancakes, many pastries, pates, etc. etc.
Effectively it will mean you can drink a lot less prepared foods, will need to spend more time cooking yourself from fresh ingredients.
n't know how severe yours is, but beside my sister it's so bad she gets violently in poor health if her meat was cooked in a pan that be just wiped clean to remove butter residue. The molecule constricted film that remains behind is enough to enjoy her in bed for days.
But hers is a severe case. Most people only have to take care to not obviously ingest large amounts (so if you like eggnug, too bad).
other get a 2nd opinion. keep a food diary, avoid the trigger food, transport benedryl & your epi pen at all times, see an allergist, read labels, and avoid processed foods.
Yup. I'm 42...and I became allergic to eggs, just this year. Also Nuts, that was 5 years ago, and I am still allergic. No second view needed. Just look at the results you got from eating it. You CAN Live without eggs. You enjoy to look for products that are deemed Egg Free. If you are only allergic to the yolk of the egg, it will be a lot easier for you. If it's the unharmed egg, you will have to avoid it all together. And yes, you can get food allergies at Any Age.
I didn't devlop my nut allergies until I turned 20. I know it's hard to revamp a diet, BUT you HAVE TO DO IT. Avoid it adjectives because the more you expose yourself to it, the worse your reaction WILL get. Mine started with an itchy lip later my throat swelled shut one night because I kept eating it.
Get a epi pen if you don't have one however, and avoid egg. It's hard at first, but it's that or illness/death.

Good Luck.Check out the food allergy network (FAAN)
