Flu like symptoms from ground meat?
-
I used to eat ground beef and lamb a lot a couple years back when I first started peating and seemed to have no issues at all with it but in the last year I haven't been very lucky with ground meat. I'd say I get flu like symptoms (stuffed nose, sore throat, aching muscles especially shoulders and arms) about 70-80% of the time when I meat ground meat nowdays.
Sometimes it is within 30 minutes of eating the meat, and I can be feeling fine beforehand but feel awful for a couple days after.
I always have some sort of carb source with my meat and I don't get this reaction from other protein sources like eggs, cheese or even collagenous cuts of meat.
What's happening with the ground meat from the supermarket that is causing such awful feelings? All insight is much appreciated

@Milk-Destroyer Is the beef 100% grass-fed? You could be allergic to the corn/soy/grains in their feed if not.

@Serotoninskeptic Not 100% grass fed. I think you could be right. I guess they must've changed most supermarket cattle's feeds at some point and that could be why I used to eat it just fine but now suffer.
I suppose it could also be a drug or pesticide in the feed that is causing this? I'll need to be careful.

@Milk-Destroyer Yea definitrly could be a result of poor farming practice. Glysophate in the feed, artifiical hormones and vaccines, poor conditions. I would recommend investing on high quality pasture-raised beef to see if you react any better

Hi, I would make sure you are draining the beef, meaning pouring off the liquid fat about halfway through cooking. That has made me feel sick in the past to not drain that high Pufa liquid fat off. Other tip I’d say is to make sure you’re eating it with plenty of ketchup or carbohydrate. Protein surge could raise your temps in combo with liquid fats…Very barfy.
