Does eating meat or something cooked in meat/meat juice make you sick after being vegetarian for years?!
Was this absolutely HORRENDOUS stomach ache (which was 3x worse what it usually is for eggs) due to the bacon grease (i.e. "animal protein" or such intolerance Ive built up because of being vegetarian?), or just a coincidence? The pain DID pass, but it took 18 hours.

It was probably more that it was such an unprocessed, out in the country meal, rather than what you are used to. The bacon fat likely had minimal impact on that.
It also could have been the water. It could be perfectly healthy, but have different things in it than you are used to, so it would get you sick until you got used to it gradually.

That happens to me as well, I get sick if i accidently eat meat, but usually if it's very oily.
no. you don't get intolerance to meat after not eating it even for twenty years.
MAybe it was just too oily. It wasn't the meat.
Otherwise you'd get sick every time you ate something you've never eaten before.
If you don't eat eggs because they make you sick, then you ate eggs and got sick, I think it was the eggs.
Lasting that long is abnormal. Usually, food will pass through in that period of time. It isn't abnormal to get sick after eating something that is rich in animal fat after a long period of abstaining. You should always bring something suitable for your diet when you eat at someone else's place if you haven't let them know ahead of time that you don't eat meat.
I highly doubt this, it seems to be a myth, there would be no reason for your body not to be able to digest certain proteins just because you abstain from meat.
More than likely its
1) hormones/blood etc ie things not found regularly in a vegetarian diet that are ofund in high proportions in meat
2) meat is heavy, fats + high levels of protein etc. Potentially this could give indigestion & such
