Why exactly is red meat bad for us IBS-ers? My grocery store sells 97% lean ground beef, so I think it only has 4 g. fat and 135 calories or so. The reason I'm asking is this:
I just found out I'm pregnant with my second, probably 8 weeks or so along. I had pretty bad stomach problems when I was PG with my first, and they just continued after having him, so they assumed I developed IBS. Anyway, the smell and thought of chicken absolutely repulses me. That's what happened last time I was PG. Chicken, my main meal every night before becoming PG, makes me gag. I literally want to throw up after I eat it. So in my last preg I ate very lean ground beef patties to help w/ iron levels and protein levels. I had a lot of tummy distress while PG until I narrow it down to things I learned I could tolerate, but I don't know if I still can. I mean, I ate lean beef w/ one slice of low fat cheese for dinner a lot. I didn't gain a ton of weight since I couldn't tolerate much gas/stomach/reflux wise, but that was the one thing I could eat. Sounds so IBS unsafe! I mean, I don't know when the IBS actually started, so I don't know what to do. I'm extra gassy and a little D (on and off) since getting PG, but I think I was like that my first trimester last time.
So I don't know what to do. Is even lean red meat a real trigger that should always be avoided? I just don't know what I'm going to eat because last time chicken grossed me out the entire 9 months!
any help would be appreciated.
