Why does my stomach hurt after eating eggs?

I am a 22 year old male. My stomach hurts after eating eggs. What could be the cause?

There is nothing in particular about eggs that would cause pain compared to other foods. Egg allergy is a possible explanation but pain alone is not consistent with an allergic reaction. I would expect to see more allergic type symptoms such as rash, hives, perioral tingling, swelling, wheezing, etc. if you had an egg allergy. Best to visit with a primary care doctor or GI specialist to explore this problem further.
Isolate out the eggs and stop eating them or anything with eggs in it. If that helps then try eggs again slowly and see how you feel.
