My wife is a trooper! She has problems digesting beef now because she eats so little of it at home. We eat lamb once or twice a month. I eat seafood often when the wife is at work - she does not like it much. I made the mistake of eating pork 10 days in a row and my immune system went into overdrive.
All of this started with IBS, I had for 10 or 12 years. It got so bad I finally went to the IBS clinic in Seattle WA. he advertised he could cure it. Basically he did. My life was miserable before Dr. Wangen. He took samples of every fluid and feces and sent it all out to a lab. it turned out that the chronic inflammation in my digestive system from throat to A-hole was cause by a Saccharomyces yeast overgrowth. Saccharomyces yeast is what you brew beer with. I was a home brewer for 25 years and drank and judged a lot of ales over the years - not all good. Somewhere along the line I ingested a strain that took over my body. Then whatever I ate while I was so inflamed my body recognized as an attack and developed antibodies to it. I was allergic to almost everything I ate. After ridding my body of the yeast ( the first relief in years). I went to work eliminating foods from my diet for 6 months. After the 6 months your body may forget to produce antibodies to that food. It has worked well for many foods but not all. The doc suspects that I had a problem with beef before the IBS and it will never go away. I think I just over did the pork - I hope. I will know in another month when I try some bacon? Here is what the lab returned everything that is not a zero is showing some level of reaction in 2012. It is $1400.00 to be retested so that has not happened.
