About 4 or 5 years ago I stopped being able to eat beef suddenly. I mean, one day I could and then I went out for a hamburger (at a nice place, not a fast food joint) and about 1/2 way through it I felt sick to my stomach and spent the next 24 hours battling gastrointestinal symptoms too graphic to describe. Ever since then I can't eat beef except once in a while a fast food hamburger, but not that if I try to do it more than once a year.
So that's all fine and well, I can do without beef. I found that bison and venison don't bother me and are substitutes. Well then all the sudden venison does exactly the same thing. And this is organic, free range venison (in other words, wild, not farm raised). And now chicken is making me sick too.
Has anyone heard of something like this before? Is it an allergy or is something else wrong? I'm fairly miserable. I'm pregnant and nursing an 8 month old and I'm constantly hungry because I can't get enough protein.
Any ideas or suggestions? I'm not opposed to vegetarianism (I was one for several years long before this started happening) but I don't think it's practical for me at this point in time. I'm worried that this is a symptom of something greater. I can't find any info online though.
