Im just curious how much meat you guys eat, as i still lose weight and im always hungry. Would it be ok to eat like 750 gramms or more lamb a day, (besides the fact it would
be super expensive). I just cant seem to get enough calories in, cause i react to virtually every food besides lamb and some vegetables + fruit, as it has shown in my enterolab results.
There is no single carb source i can think of that I can safely eat.
How much meat do you eat?

I eat a lot. I'm not sure of quantity but I have it at least 3x per day and sometimes 5x per day. Are you able to tolerate olive oil? I will drizzle that on top of my protein sometimes for extra calories. Bacon fat is also good for extra calories.
On Enterolab results I think on the level 3 (least reactive) protein but still reacting.....if you are not physically reacting to the least reactive protein you can still have that protein say once a week. Perhaps Tex can correct me if I'm wrong.

750 grams is 26.455 ounces. That's a lot of meat. But if meat is all you can eat, then it is not too much. If you are looking for variety, have you tried turkey, duck, goose, pheasant, quail, rabbit, venison, etc.?
For alternative carbs, have you tried amaranth or quinoa?
Regarding the EnteroLab test results for the 11 other antigenic foods, the most reactive foods are in the 3+ category, and the least reactive are in the 1+ category. Sometimes we can eat some of the foods in the 1+ category, especially if we rotate those foods, so that we only eat a food every third day, for example, so that the antibodies do not build up.

I eat about 150g - 200gr of turkey, lamb or pheasant over a 24hour period.
Before my MC flare I ate about the same weight of meat /fish protein per day but in included beef and a wide variety of fish and shell fish.
I usually have about three eggs a week. My breakfasts and lunches were vegetable/fruit based with humous,
lentils and legume type proteins. What my diet will look like once my elimination diet is over I have no idea.
I'm hoping I can have legumes in the future. I'm not keen on eating meat and poultry and prefer my diet to be mainly fish.

Hi Louis,
It's been over two and a half years since the onset of the MC flood for me. With the help of this board and Entocort, I have progressed considerably. It's not perfect but I'm much better. As an added bonus, when I went gluten-free, my severe body pain disappeared.
I eat a large portion of meat with every meal and I often eat meat between meals. I tolerate turkey very well and I've learned to cook it many ways. I cooked a 20 pound bird on Saturday and had a nice dinner. I then used the bones to start a huge pan of soup. Last night we had tacos made with ground turkey. Meat (except chicken) does not upset me at all. I love a good steak and we eat lots of fish. I have salmon once or twice a week and I make a big Manhattan clam chowder on Sundays. I also use squid and white fish often. My earliest starches were sweet potato, rice, and quinoa. In the early stage when I lost a lot of weight, I ate a ton of potato chips but I checked that they were SF, GF, DF. In my opinion, in the early stage of MC, eating whatever doesn't cause D is just fine. In the beginning, I cooked three pounds of bacon at a time!

Hello Jimbo.........
I don't feel bad after eating my turkey, lamb or pheasant etc.
I have my meat portion with sweet potato, carrots and the clear stock from the meat cooking process. I serve my food in a bowl and have a good ladle or two of liquid with the meal. I don't like fatty meat so my meat is boiled in still spring water with salt & pepper. The liquid is strained through muslin to give me a clear consommé which I save for subsequent meals. Any fat is strained off and discarded.
I don't fry, grill or bake my meat or use anything other than water for cooking. I don't feel ill after eating. At this point I think greasy oily food would make me feel sick.

Hi Louis,
I eat a protein with each meal, I feel it helps to digest the carbs better. I also use coconut oil and safflower oil to fry with, the extra benefit of those oils I feel is good.
In the early stages I ate lots of turkey over steamed sticky white rice and added a few cashews and drizzled some honey over it and that worked well for me for many days at a time along with my bone broth soup.
Cheers
Erica

Hi, Louis. I eat a lot of turkey - turkey breast cutlets, ground turkey breast, turkey bacon, turkey tenderloin. I have grass fed ground beef maybe twice a week. Applegate Farms makes uncured turkey hotdogs that I have on hand for a snack. I can't eat tuna or salmon which I would love to eat to shake things up a little. For breakfast I have hemp protein with almond milk. I eat a sweet potato every day to help me keep weight on. I use coconut oil to cook with and put some in my morning drink. I didn't eat a lot of meat before the LC now I can't function without it. I keep Epic bison bars on hand in case we're on the road and I can't find something that I can eat. (I order them from Vitacost if you can't find them locally.)

Kangaroo meat
Hi, I've been reading about how meat protein is so important in recovery (and I'm still recovering from Christmas mistakes) in the forum. I can't eat beef and recently discovered that chicken has started to affect me. I eat bison and make bison bone broth. In my local Sprouts market, where I can get ground bison, I noticed that they always have ground kangaroo meat (as well as elk). Can you, Gabes and any others in Australia, please tell me about the taste and how to cook the ground meat. I'm in Houston and I guess we assume that you eat kangaroo like we eat beef! I would love to try it but want to properly cook it. Thanks for any info!

Interestingly, in Aus, kangaroo is not our main meat source. It is more of a wild game delicacy and has per kilo cost to match that status.
I have not had kangaroo since my Mc status. Pre MC, kangaroo stir fry was a regular meal with some friends when we went camping.
You may have to google search to get some cooking tips.

Hi Dmarielee,
Sensitivity to beef is somewhat common among the members here. When I was recovering, beef didn't actually make me sick, but it caused a backache, a headache, and gas and bloating. These days, I can eat it without any symptoms. I can eat chicken, but along with fish, chicken is notorious for causing histamine problems for MCers. So I have to take special precautions if I eat chicken, in order to minimize the histamine risk.
One of the problems with bison is that their numbers became so low during the latter part of the nineteenth century after the government initiated a program to exterminate them in order to starve the plains Indians and force them onto reservations, that many bison wandered into cattle herds and crossbred with domestic cattle. And over the years, bison ranchers have occasionally intentionally crossbred bison with domestic cattle in order to invigorate their genetics (generation after generation of inbreeding will progressively corrupt the genetics of a species until they become so crippled by disease that they become extremely unhealthy). The net result is that virtually every bison living today contains DNA from domestic cattle, implying that anyone sensitive to beef may also be sensitive to bison. There may be a few purebred herds left in Canada, but in this country purebreds are very rare, if they actually exist at all.
Venison (including elk, reindeer, moose, red deer, etc.), duck, goose, lamb, turkey, rabbit, kangaroo, alligator, etc., are all safer options for anyone who has MC.
