raw versus cooked eggs

I have an egg allergy that I've been challenging lately. As it turns out, I can handle eating raw eggs (in my smoothie) with no issues. However cooked eggs (hard boiled) make me queasy. What's so different about raw eggs that makes me tolerate them better? Ideas?

It's probably the cooked egg white. I suspected an egg intolerance once in myself and researched it a bit, and apparently cooked egg white is a pretty well-known allergen.

yeah, is it the cooked white or yolk that makes you queasy? just curious.
I'm trying out new local free-range eggs and had a fried one today and was reminded how I really do not enjoy the egg whites. But the yolks...mmmm. I'm still undecided about the egg whites raw. I got some raw goat's milk to try and mix it with the whole egg tomorrow to test some more. Problem is I want to stay away from added sugars, so we'll see if stevia will cut it!
