I always thought that the reason egg yolks were a trigger was just because they were high in fat, so as long as they were diluted, they were fine. I went back and read what it said in "The First Year" and it looks like there may be more to it than that for people with constipation:
Quote:
Meat, dairy products, and egg yolks are particularly dangerous for all aspects of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. In some people their high fat content causes violent, rapid colon spasms and triggers diarrhea. Alternately, for others their heavy animal proteins, complete lack of fiber, and very low water content can lead to drastically slowed colon contractions (or one prolonged colon spasm, which is extremely painful) and severe constipation. No matter what Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms you're prone to, these three categories of foods pose high risks and are really best eliminated from your diet altogether.
This excerpt is also on the Website here.
For an excellent post on the problem with including any trigger foods in your diet before you're stable, you might want to take a look at this.
