Pages: 1 Beef is a nono but are beef broths ok?       #369827 - 07/20/13 07:02 AM Edit Reply Quote Roxstar Reged: 02/12/12 Posts: 122 I went out for a work dinner the other night at an Asian restaurant. The only RELATIVELY safe thing they had on the menu was a beef broth soup with massive rice noodles in it. I didn't get sick from it. I had the noodles first of course and then quite a lot of beef broth. It was dark but clear no fat. I had some beef but it was sliced very wafer thin so not much at all. It is probably the only way I have had beef and been able to tolerate it. I also had some silken tofu that had been crumbed and fried but the tofu was not fatty as they fried it at a very high temp. I could not taste any grease at all. Is beef broth ok? It was a clear kinda soup with noodles and bok choy, thai basil and mung bean sprouts but I did not have many mung bean sprouts only some after the noodles and there were a LOT of noodles. I also had some slippery elm and digestive enzymes with it which I have at every meal as I honestly think they help me. I know that red meat is a nono but is it ok to have it just as a broth?

The main difficulty with red meat is its high fat content, type of fat it contains and the length of time it takes to digest (i.e. effects motility of the GI track). I have used it from time to time. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Beef is a nono but are beef broths ok?       #369833 - 07/22/13 12:51 AM Edit Reply Quote Roxstar Reged: 02/12/12 Posts: 122 Thanks. I will be very careful. I have very low iron and i do not tolerate supplements well at all and I sometimes crave meat so badly it's unbelievable.

The iron comes from the blood in red meat. Here is a source of iron rich foods such as oatmeal and spinach. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Beef is a nono but are beef broths ok?       #369836 - 07/22/13 08:03 AM Edit Reply Quote Roxstar Reged: 02/12/12 Posts: 122 Thanks!
