More than likely it was because the egg powder was old and an opened container. Even with regular eggs, if they are old they can cause gas problems for some people. Should you try it again, make sure the egg powder is new.

I am wondering. I once used some dry egg powder in a recipe. It might have been a few years old, sitting in the cupboard, not in original packaging. (My mom gave me some to sample) After eating the item I baked, a few hours or a day later, my whole family had the worst gas on the planet!!!! Is this normal? I am NEVER using powdered eggs again unless someone can convince me otherwise! Maybe the powder was bad. I don't know. Does anyone want to comment on this? Ha Ha! Thanks.

Definitely a good point! And I feel comfortable letting my kiddos help in the kitchen more without worrying about them getting into raw eggs. :)

One of my favorite things about powdered eggs is that when I use them I don't have to feel guilty about eating the cookie dough (because there are no raw eggs in it!)

costco carries organic cold milled ground flax seed which is an excellent egg substitute. It comes in a 40oz canister and is around 11.00 but it gives you your omega 3. I have been adding it in my breads, smoothies etc. It gives you the egg replacement conversion right on the lable and it can also replace margarine or butter in recipes. I have found this to be an excellent addition to my food storage.
Here are some other egg replacers if you have no powdered eggs or flax and are in a pinch:
All equal 1 egg
1tsp Baking Powder + 1Tbsp liquid + 1Tbsp vinegar
or
1tsp yeast dissolved in 1/4 C warm water
or
1Tbsp apricot puree
or
1 1/2 Tbsp water + 1 1/2 Tbsp oil + 1tsp Baking Powder (our favorite)
or 1 packet gelatin + 2Tbsp warm water

I love powdered eggs too. Another great use for them is making your own mixes. I've posted a few recipes on my site.

Kathryn, I would probably take the plastic bag and put it inside some sort of sealed container. If you have empty #10 cans around that would be a great way to use them. Or you could just use a tupperware container that would fit the bag inside. I think the shelf life will be extended a bit that way. Great question!

Since only a few tablespoons of the egg powder is necessary for a single recipe (usually), once I've opened my box, how long will it last? It's only a paper bag on the inside, which I fold over (much like I do a cereal box bag). Maybe I should seal it better to help it last longer? What do you think? It's such an expensive product, in California at least, that I'd hate to waste any.

I got powdered eggs from the Macey's case lot sale. I can't remember the exact price but when I had calculated it out they were a bit cheaper than fresh eggs.

When I did the math, powdered eggs were not cheaper for me than fresh eggs (I live outside Utah), especially since I get fresh eggs on sale most of the time. I still have some in my food storage, though, because I'll want them for baking and cooking in an emergency!

I'm just curious -- where do you usually buy your powdered eggs? When I compare prices of Honeyville's eggs to the fresh ones from Sam's Club, the powdered ones are nearly double Sam's price. That said, I still keep plenty of powdered eggs around for storage purposes.
