Why do More Children Develop Egg Sensitivities and Allergies?
From the functional medicine point of view, there are several potential causes for why more kids are developing egg allergies. One possible explanation is that children are being exposed to eggs at a younger age, which can cause an immune system response. Additionally, many children are now being exposed to modified or processed eggs, which can also trigger an allergic reaction.
Other potential causes include exposure to chemicals and other environmental toxins during the production of eggs, genetic predisposition, and gut dysbiosis. To reduce the risk of egg allergy, it is important to ensure that eggs are from a clean and reliable source and that they are carefully prepared according to the age of the child. It is also important to avoid processed and modified eggs. Finally, supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes and digestive health through functional medicine treatments can also help to reduce the risk of egg allergies.
The best part about these egg-free buckwheat pancakes is that they are incredibly easy to make. Simply mix together the buckwheat flour, baking soda, salt, and a little bit of sugar, and then add your favorite plant-based milk and a small amount of oil. Whisk the mixture until it is light and airy, and then cook the pancakes in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat for about three minutes per side. See the full list of the ingredients and proportions below in the recipe!
These pancakes can be served with fresh fruit, honey, or pure maple syrup.
For a savory option, top them with sautéed vegetables, hummus, or vegan cheese. You can also add a scoop of your favorite nut butter or a sprinkle of chia seeds for extra protein.
Egg-free buckwheat pancakes are a great way to get your morning off to a healthy and delicious start. They are easy to make, full of fiber and protein, and absolutely delicious. No matter how you like to enjoy your pancakes, egg-free buckwheat pancakes are a perfect choice.
