Most of the dietary guidelines I have come across have referred to redmeat as a no for those with IBS.
Common consensus seems to be, it is too high in fat, and low in fiber, to be tolerated.
On the other hand, I have spoken with a few people who have splendid knowledge on this subject.
My own personal obseveration has been, redmeat, the fatty type you would purchase at most fast food joints, is imcompatable.
That said, I have been told that if redmeat is low in fat, then having it in conservative proportions should pose no problem.
Just to be clear, I am not speaking about Beef Brisket. I am talking about filot, round stead, sirlon steak, and Beef at Chinses restaraunts, such as Beef and Broccoli, Pepper Steak.
I most certainly do not want to have to avoid the foods I love, redmeat being one of them, especially if doing so is not necessary.
However, I do not want to jeopardize my gut and its funactility. My gut functioning properly is my foremost concern when it comes to food selections. I do though love redmeat, and I feel, if I could treat myself to it, this would make dieting on the whole easier, knowing I can set goals and reward myself, which would also make me happy, relaxed, and reduce stress, something good for IBS itself.
I have contempleted what I have read here, as well as what I have been told by an IBS expert. Perhaps this can be debated before I go placing that order for Beef and Broccoli, or go buy a Sirlon Steak to a satisfactory explanation.
The key here is, lean redmeat consumed once a week, not Big Mac's consumed daily.
