Beef Doesn't Work With My 3-Day Rotation Diet

Post by tex »

As would be expected, since I usually react to beef in about 3 or 4 hours, it doesn't work with the rotation diet. I still react. Duh!

So far, it's the only food item that I've found, that doesn't work for me, with the rotation.

Love,
Wayne

Wayne,

Sorry that the beef didn't work for you. I'll trade you a steak for some melted cheese!

Love, Jean

I seem to eat less and less beef. I don’t react to it with D and cramps but have found that the next day I have a lot of tight muscles, don’t feel relaxed and don’t sleep very well. I enjoy a small steak, about the size of a deck of playing cards, on the barbecue every once in a while but find chicken, fish and pork much more conducive to feeling really good. Oh well.

I am enjoying your reports and though my work gets in the way of my meal planning, LOL, have been working on rotating foods I can eat more that I have in the past. It does add a new dimension to variety anyway.

Thanks for your input.

Jean,

You know, it's kind of strange. I'm not very strongly intolerant of cheese, I suppose. It was one of the first things I tried with the rotation diet, because I have to eat it at least 5 or 6 days in a row, to get a reaction, usually. Based on that, I figured it would be a pretty safe bet for the rotation diet.

Love,
Wayne

Matthew,

I react very uniquely to beef, also. I don't get D either, no matter how much I eat, or how often I eat it. My symptoms consist of a little bloating, beginning about 3 or 4 hours after I eat it, along with an overall cruddy "something is wrong" feeling, followed in about an hour, by a slight to moderate headache, and usually some stiffness/soreness in my neck, and sometimes shoulders. By the next morning, I'm usually back to normal, again.

I'm hoping that the rotation will allow me to incorporate fruits and vegetables back into my diet. Prior to now, I've been afraid to eat more than just trace amounts of "safe" things like squash and green beans.

I'm trying to work up the nerve to try some puffed rice with milk, for breakfast tomorrow. It's been several years since I've tried any breakfast cereal. I don't really crave it, but I'm curious to see if I can tolerate it, as part of the rotation plan.
