it really is a universal trigger. Just about anyone who says they're okay with meat is still having problems, because the saturated fat and proteins are so difficult to digest. Even meat just once or twice a week is enough to keep the cycle of gut disruption going...and going...and going. It's one of the most constipating foods you can eat...but the fats/proteins can also trigger diarrhea and cramps.
Can you get your hubby and daughter to transition to soy subs for red meat like bacon and burgers? It's not a food they need to be eating for their own health, whether they have IBS or not. And it would sure be nice for you to be able to cook one meal for everyone.
Best, Heather
