Firstly, please stop giving her only egg white!! Egg yolk is easier to digest than white..so give her an omlette with full egg, you may reduce the quantity of liquid after beating though.
Give her more fluids, fruits and vegetables.
Give her Amylase rich food, like germinated wheat powder, etc.
Fix a time for potty training
