no more steak

I am a vegan, but at very rare occasion I might cheat a bit. Each time I cheat, by taking a tuna pizza for example, I notice it the next day. Leaving out all animal products helps me a lot. Of course it is not "curing" me, but it gives a noticeable help.

What helped most for me is to follow the Hay food combination rules on a vegan diet.

I guess that goes to show we are all so different.
Having protein, most especially steak or salmon calms my stomach. And in fact, beef or lamb is my go to food whenever my system is upset.

We are all different,been exploring diet for awhile now.
Not so good things about red meat, high meat protein loads in general, heme,protein fermentation in the distal gut,fats possibly producing the wrong type of bile,sulfur amino acids feeding sulfite reducers, corn fed containing bad n6/n3 ratio,increased net acid metabolic load if not enough veggies eaten.
Many people do well on Paleo diets, butI can't help but wonder when humans became really efficient at killing,and they had lots of meat to eat.

Like I said still looking into the subject,not against meat,at this time. We also have a few vegetarians on the site with UC,hard to explain,except perhaps high sulfur foods and or net acid loads.  Then again if I really knew what was going on I would have cured myself.

I have had some reduction in symptoms with low linoleic acid diet and supplement  with fish oil. Implicit is a low linoleic acid diet is a severe

cutback in processed foods.

This is interesting.

I seem to remember that on SCD many do not due well with the nuts.

Sulfur amino acids and immune function,seems we need them but how much.

Weird to most of you but I usually have better days after eating a nice steak. Diet doesn't really effect me one eyota. Sometimes that's good, sometimes that's not so good. There's only a small handfull of things I really have to avoid.

Steak is hard to digest. I try to avoid it usually. A really good expensive cut of meat though seems to digest better than cheap one. Last couple of times I sliced each bite really thin and ate it that way -- worked better for me.

Yes, I have experienced this issue, but I am willing to suffer the consequences for a taste of that sweet, sweet cow flesh.

Regarding fish and Hg, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
