Egg Nog

What is on egg nog to make me so sick and upset stomach?


Kurt, I'm sorry to hear you got ill.. especially around the holidays.. Maybe it was the raw egg, if it was used in that recipe?

When I make eggnog, I don't use raw eggs.. I thaw out some vanilla ice cream, then add some nutmeg. (I don't drink alcohol, but I guess you could add some rum) Hope you feel better soon. lucy

I'm not sure what it is about commercial eggnog, too much carrageenan or something. The raw egg in home made nog doesn't cause problems for me, but the last few years the grocery store stuff has been puke city. I used to really like the stuff.

Perhaps you're lactose intolerant? I am and if I drink too much egg nog, I get really gassy. ~Peggy
