a littie warning about eating beef

omg! i am 2 months out and was really starting to feel good and it seemed like my pouch was able to handle just about anything so like a dummy i had a little sliver of round steak...(not ground up) i made it in the crockpot and it was very tender with gravy and i thought i'd be safe...NOPE! instead i spent 4 hours getting violently ill and had horrible heartburn for hours! let this be a lesson kids....when the doctor says no red meat for 6 months there's a reason!

I'm so sorry you had this happen! I am TOTALLY the opposite. I'm sick of eating food with absolutely no taste so I've been making pot roast in the crockpot the last few Sundays. It's been the only thing that's had taste and I've never been sick yet. So weird! It's the protein concoctions that make me hurl. My body is so darned screwed up I guess. * Cyndi *

Hi Liz, Sorry you got so sick but I think everyone is different because I had some round steak and didn't have any problems at all. So far I haven't found anything that disagrees with me but I haven't tried everything yet so I may find something. Hugs, Esther

Oh, Liz! I did about the same thing as you, but even sooner than you. I am only 7 weeks out & tried a teeny piece of steak @ 5 weeks out. OMG!! Thought it was gonna kill me!! I never threw up, but was praying I could. Pain in the center of my chest for hours! The good thing from making mistakes, is that you really learn from them!!
