Question 1

how could i be anemic if i eat red meat, greek yogurt (plain), eggs, spinach etc.....could my gastritis/ulcers/heavy periods be to blame?

Accepted Answer

Anemia...: Anemia (low hemoglobin) is caused by the body losing blood (heavy periods, blood in stool), red blood cell instability (hemoglobinopathies), destruction (hemolysis), the bodies inability to produce new red blood cells (for example iron deficiency), or a combination of these. I would guess you are losing a small amount of blood regularly, rather than diet. Blood tests can help figure out cause.

Question 2

why do i get cravings for red meat constantly?

Accepted Answer

You're not alone but: We consume 71 pounds of red meat per capita each year. However, given the ongoing controversy regarding overindulgence in meat given its associated diseases and heightened cancer risk, Americans have learned to cut back. We ate 96.3 pounds of red meat per capita in 1970--with poultry picking up much of the slack. You may want to learn to love chicken too!

Question 3

can too much red meat increase stroke risks?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Increased animal fat and salt can raise your blood pressure and increase risk of stroke.

Question 4

completely cut out red meat and booze if gout?

Accepted Answer

It isn't an allergy,: So you don't have to eliminate the dietary triggers altogether in most cases, but you definitely want to minimize the risk, so the less alcohol (esp. Beer and red wine), red meat, organ meat,  shellfish  and other trigger foods you can eat, the less likely you will be to have an attack.

Question 5

why does red meat give u gas?

Accepted Answer

Everything gives gas: Everything gives us gas, and these small amounts of gas are normal. It may be a myth that red meat causes more gas than other foods do. Gas is more common with carbohydrates, fiber, and sugars. Eating red meat means eating protein, which has sulfur, so gas after eating red meat may smell worse and be more noticeable. One can compare lean and fatty meat to see if the fat is what's causing more gas.

Question 6

how much red meat  need a 7 month baby?

Accepted Answer

NONE: A 7 month old baby does not "need" any meat at all. The best food for a 7 month old baby is breast milk. If that is not available then formula is next best. It is ok to give some mashed veggies like yams and squash and fruit like avocado and applesauce. Perhaps some rice cereal. I would not advise meat of any sort (including chicken or fish) the first year of life.

Question 7

why does red meat always upset my stomach?

Accepted Answer

The Why Questions: We could debate this until the next millenium, but the why questions are often unanswerable. They just are. Perhaps you are allergic in some way or cannot digest the meat well.  I would avoid red meat for now.

Question 8

why do my leg hurt every time i eat red meat?

Accepted Answer

If: If your joints swell on your leg, you could have gout.  See your doctor for further evaluation.

Question 9

after an open appendectomy, when can i eat red meat again?

Accepted Answer

Post op recovery: The length of time taken for your bowels to return to normal function depends on the specifics and extent of your surgery and any other medical conditions you may have. Red meat would be the last step in adding foods as you progress your diet from just water to full foods. Can take from a few days to much longer if there are any complications.

Question 10

i feel sick after having red meat ,is there any possible way to get rid of that?

Accepted Answer

Meat aversion: Unless the meat is bad, it could be your body doesn't like eating meat. If it keeps happening with different types of meat, you would need to evaluate how you feel about eating meat. Try incorporating more plants to your diet while you explore this.
