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

All fruits which begin with “P “ ( prune, plums, pear , peaches) will help soften your baby’s stool, so give them your baby is having hard stool. If your baby is constipated may also 1 ounce of prune juice mix with 1 ounce of water every day or two
