I could say that I wasn't a big meat eater either ( I actually spent a couple years being vegetarian) but if we as IBS sufferers have an intolerance to it and its higher fat content, then I guess even a little is too much. Simply through following Heather's IBS diet, and getting my animal protein mostly from fish, I've reduced the amount of (animal) protein I take in. Unfortunately, it hasn't made much of a difference. In fact, I'm one of those people who can't say any of the eating for IBS diet; no dairy, no alcohol, no carbonation, no caffeine, limited insoluble fiber all on top of no red meats, has made a difference. At least not the significant difference you would hope for after making so many changes to your diet. It has me wondering about my tolerance for things like wheat and soy. That's why, seeing as I'm working out again, I thought I would start taking the protein (and yes soy) supplements again and maybe it will help my IBS-D.
I'm in St.Catharines but as you might know, the Niagara Region is relatively small. I go to Buffalo every now and then for a hockey game or to go shopping (a typical Canadian).

IBS-D. Or so a doctor says.
