I've found a lot of people in my generation (Millennial) don't eat red meat, not because they don't want to but because they can't. It gives me incredible heartburn, and many of my friends become physically ill if they eat it.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Wasn’t there a disease going around that made people sick when eating red meat?

[–] Remmock@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago

For a non-tick response- Prion contamination resulting in Mad Cow Disease. One meal and your brain eventually rots in moldy cheese.

[–] SuiXi3D@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

There’s a kind of tick that, once it bites you, causes you to be deathly allergic to red meat from that point forward.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

Yep, there is, it spreads though tic bites, and once bitten you will allways get sick after eating red meat.

Millennial here and I've had a similar experience. I ate a ton of red meat growing up, but once I got to my early-to-mid 30s, I noticed beef would give me a lot of stomach issues. I switched to eating chicken and sometimes (depending on the dish) substituting the meat entirely for black beans and found my stomach issues got a lot better. And it's still just as tasty to me, so I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.

When I had Celiac undiagnosed, all I could figure out was that I felt awful after meals. My theory was I needed to eat more healthy. I started eating whole and organic foods, which didn't help, then became a vegetarian, which didn't help (and some people sure were dicks about it). But yeah, anything that leads to eating more veggies and fiber can help with certain digestive issues and overall health.

I don't get heartburn, but I also don't poop for a few days.

I don't not eat beef/meat, but I also don't really eat it either.
