Steatorrhea: It sounds like you have a malabsorbtion syndrome. In particular, you may be malabsorbing fats (steatorrhea) which are always present in meats. Check out this reference and see if it applies to you? http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/180785-clinical

See meat allergy Tip: There is a recently described allergy to mammal meats that is triggered by Lone Star tick bites (not for Texas). Female tick has a white dot on it’s back. Although most reports describe hives or anaphylaxis, http://ww2.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/253939 , the very first signs are intestinal cramping and diarrhea which starts 4-6 hours after eating. It can start 4-6 weeks after an itchy bite
