For ground turkey, you want either ground turkey breast or ground all white meat turkey. That's what is low in fat. I agree that ground white turkey meat doesn't taste like much but if you use it to make chili, spaghetti sauce, meatloaf, burgers and so on the seasonings provide the flavor. There are recipes for lots of these on the Recipe Board.
Here's what Heather says about red meat:
Quote:
Meat, dairy products, and egg yolks are particularly dangerous for all aspects of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. In some people their high fat content causes violent, rapid colon spasms and triggers diarrhea. Alternately, for others their heavy animal proteins, complete lack of fiber, and very low water content can lead to drastically slowed colon contractions (or one prolonged colon spasm, which is extremely painful) and severe constipation. No matter what Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms you're prone to, these three categories of foods pose high risks and are really best eliminated from your diet altogether.
The only way to know if you can handle "alternative" meats like buffalo, bison, venison, and so on is to try them.
Since I've now been pretty stable for a while I've tried red meat a couple of times - steak, nothing exotic. No drastic reaction, some general instability. Since it no longer tastes good to me after avoiding it for so long, the IBS symptoms just aren't worth it.
HTH.
