Eggs will do that to you if you over-cook them.
Hard boiled eggs are, by their very nature, overcooked. ;-)
Try soft boiled or steamed/poached eggs.
They are much MUCH easier on the digestion.
Personally, I prefer them nearly raw...
If you are gassing that much, you are wasting the protein anyway.
Excessive gas from them shows inefficient digestion iirc?

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.

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.

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.

I can explain the misconception, but I agree that it's still wrong. ;-)

Salmonella is no fun. I've had it...
Once.
And that was because I was stupid enough to eat a damaged egg from my
own chickens. I did not know it had been damaged in the nests as I was
not the one that "gathered" it. I always immediately destroyed any
damaged eggs I gathered from the nests. But, my eyesight is better than
that of my older housemate.
I made a stupid mistake. :-P It smelled and tasted just fine which is
all the more reason I should not have eaten it. And I paid for it a
mere 6 hours later, for the next few days.
Never eat a cracked raw egg!
Theoretically, Salmonella won't kill most reasonably healthy people, but
it makes you wish you were dead. It can kill the weak, the very young
and the elderly.
I finally reported to the ER after 3 days of being able to keep nothing
down but water and feeling generally miserable as well as having severe
crampy diarrhea. I lost 8 lbs.
However, the IV Demerol nearly made it all worth it. <G>
I'd eaten commercial and natural raw eggs for years and I still eat them
now when I get a craving for them. I adore raw egg yolks still.
Like any food, proper handling is the order of the day. While there is
nothing to back this up, I personally feel that any egg with an intact
shell is probably safe if you wash it first. The bacteria on the shell
can contaminate the contents when you break it open.
IMHO if eggs were crawling with Salmonella on the inside, there would be
no successful hatching of baby chickens......
But, soft cooked eggs are not "raw" eggs.
I was not advocating consuming raw eggs, just not overcooked ones that
bounce on the floor if you drop them!
The consumption of raw foods is very much a personal choice. I adore
fine diced raw top round beef (with all the fat trimmed off as raw beef
fat is gross) lightly marinated in Teryaki sauce and dipped in raw egg
yolk. ;-d

For soft boiled?
Sounds about right. :-)
The final time has to be experimented with as it can depend on altitude.

Indeed.
Most of the time, I do a quick basted egg in the (covered) cast iron
skillet. Timing is 1 to 2 minutes.
I'll have to take some jpegs one of these days.

HOOOOLLLY SH*T! That sounds horrible! What do you think about pasteurized
eggs? Like, egg beaters? You can eat that raw and not have to worry about
it.. but it has all the crap thrown in to preserve it. Or would you rather
eat overcooked eggs than pasteurized eggs?
Thanks!

To each his own. ;-)
Many people like raw, or nearly raw (very rare) beef.
A good steak lightly marinated, then cooked hot and quick in a little
grape seed oil in a cast iron skillet for about 1 minute per side so
that it's crispy seared on the outside and nearly raw in the center is
food of the gods and I know many people that love steaks cooked that
way. Well done beef? Bleah!

I can take them or leave them.
They have their uses.

I'd rather eat _properly_ cooked eggs of any kind than overcooked eggs.
Eggs that are cooked to death are hard for me to digest.
And they make you fart. ;-)

Many people can adapt to gradual changes in diet - cut the eggs out for
a few days then start with 1, not 4, and see how it goes.
