Hi StephanieEveryone seems to be different as to what they can and can't eat so it's difficult to say if cutting out meat will work for youI cut out meat altogether about 3 years ago (for moral rather than other reasons though to be honest). I am still suffering but my problem seemed to stem from what it was being cooked with rather than the meat itself. - Onions are the main problem for me. Also some cooking oils seem to bring a reaction.Have you tried having the meat on its own to see if you still get the same problem. If not you may be cooking it with something that maybe you haven't realised could be a trigger. Or maybe it's a case of having something with your meal to aid the digestion of the meal itself? I take peppermint capsules (which work for me) if I don't know what I am being served up when I go out.Try excluding different things from your diet. Unfortunately, from experience its often a case of your own trial and error to find your trigger points!Good luck locating yours!
N.B. Quite a few people are trying this latest thing of food intolerance testing which is available in some health food stores in the UK abd I'm sure in the States. I haven't gone down that road yet and don't know if they are worth doing....?????
