Am I intolerant to meat?!


Question: Am I intolerant to meat?
I stopped eating meat on Jan 1 when I discovered it is responsible for my IBS and weight gain. I am feeling better and losing weight. Today I had a wicked craving for meat and ate a turkey sandwich. I got sick to my stomach after. Does this confirm I cant eat meat or was my stomach just getting used to not having to digest it than BANG!

I have met other people with a meat intolerance so I think it is entirely possible that you are.



it could be that you're eating a certain type of meat- turkey slices or something, which contains sulfites.
SOme people are quite intolerant of them, and if you've gone six weeks without, now suddenyly back on it, you'll feel it.
Being intolerant of meat itself could be because you only eat processed meat, or non 0organic meat. I am not sure of that. But meat can be fatty salty, processed or any number of things.
Turkey is not fatty, but it could be that you're intolerant of the glutamte or sulfites in the lackaging.
It could be the salt that your bowls are not happy with.

In any case, I think it's great that you stopped eating meat and found the IBS got better.

I have/had IBS from very specific things- green beans, broccoli, carciferous vegetables. It makes no sense, buy when you find a specific item that you are better off without, then stick with that.
Really, it's meat! So you're better off without it, financially too.....!

I do not think it was just your stomach getting used to digesting meat again- but you are talking about IBS which affects the WHOLE digestive system.



Maybe, but it could be another condition. For example, every time my mom would eat chicken, she would get very sick from it. Turns out she needed her gullbladder taken out. Apparently the enzymes from the chicken would irritate her gullbladder.
