I have been feeling so good the past couple months, no D at all. Then yesterday I made the mistake of going to Whole Foods, who happened to have some ground bison in their fresh meat case. Since I showed an intermediate sensitivity to beef with Enterolab and have been avoiding it, I thought bison might be a good alternative. Not so!!! I woke up at 3 a.m. with urgent D and am pretty sick today, staying near the bathroom. The only redeeming feature of this is that I won't be spending $9.99 a pound for ground grass fed bison anymore.

Oh no Jean. It seemed like a good idea, certainly worthy of a food challenge. Sorry it ruined your day--- although I certainly have been there, done that several times as I challenged food.

Bison have extensively interbred with cattle, both accidentally and on purpose in commercial operations to make better quality meat. This has been mentioned on the Forum in the past. So if you are sensitive to beef, you will probably be sensitive to bison as well. That's what happened to me too, as I'm sensitive to both beef and buffalo. Here is a wikipedia quote:Since I showed an intermediate sensitivity to beef with Enterolab and have been avoiding it, I thought bison might be a good alternative. Not so!!!

It's depressing sometimes the numerous ways in which we can accidentally get into trouble with our foods.....Since American Bison seem to cross breed readily with domestic cattle, many crosses have occurred, either deliberately or accidentally. The result is that, of the estimated 500,000 bison now present in North America, it is believed that only 15,000 to 25,000 are purebred bison, without any known domestic cattle genes. Furthermore, many crosses of bison and cattle produce animals which appear very much like normal bison, so appearance is not a good indicator of which animals are hybrids and which are not.

Jean,
Unlike bison, none of the cervids (cervidae family) are capable of crossbreeding with cattle, so all venison, whether it comes from deer, elk, moose, or caribou, is free of domestic cattle DNA.
