Louise - how was it cooked? Did you cook it? Was it in a restaurant? Did you eat the skin? Just thinking...

i have a real problem with turkey too. thought it was just me. someone suggested to me that it's just deli meat... preservatives, or something? i don't know. i've just decided to cut it out of my diet altogether. i also eliminated chicken at first but have been working that back in slowly.
i'm curious to hear other people's ideas about this, too.

hi Sharon; The turkey is mostly frozen turkey breast that I get from the grocery meatr department. It is a whole breast that I COOK UP MYSELF. Occasionally, I buy a bit of deli turkey meat which I beleive is pre-cooked. Today, i had a chicken sandwich with organic -like meat(free of hormones, grain fed, etc, I thought the chicken to be pretty safe but it really unsettled my stomach. This after a huge bowl of rice cereal because I had the runs earlier. :shocked: :shocked:

Louise - you should check the ingredients before buying the poultry to see what kind of preservatives, etc. are packed w/it. Maybe you can't tolerate that (those) ingredient(s). Heather might have some insight on this one. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

thanks anyway for your help Sharon. I don't have that much turkey anymore, anyways, because of the reaction. I don't miss it as much as I thought I WOULD. However, I WILL use the advice for chicken which bothers me too.

Hi - I'm not sure why skinless turkey breast would be less tolerable than skinless chicken breast. I would definitely trust your own body on this, though - there probably is a good reason, and I just don't know it.
For all chicken and poultry in general, it is best to buy organic. I think the best source for this is a good local health food market, preferably one that deals with local farmers and can give you really detailed information about the products. The fresher the meat the better, and if you can buy it raw and cook it yourself that's better too. Anything that will let you avoid preservatives, antibiotics, growth hormones, additives, store-added marinades, etc. is the best.
If you still have problems, just avoid poultry altogether and stick to seafood or vegetarian options.
Best,
Heather
