Al-Marsad newspaper: Meat intolerance differs from meat allergy, the latter is an allergic reaction to red meat such as lamb and beef, and red meat allergy is unlike meat intolerance, which is a problem in the digestive system.
According to the information received, meat allergy is related to the immune system and is life-threatening. On the symptoms of a meat intolerance:
1. Bloating: Eating large amounts of meat slows down the elimination of stomach waste, which in turn causes bloating, according to the “newlifenutrition” website.
2. Nausea: One of the most common symptoms of meat intolerance, if you feel uncomfortable in your stomach following eating meat, it is a sign that your body is not digesting it properly.
3. Fatigue: Meat intolerance makes your intestines tired, giving you a heavy feeling in your gut that makes you feel tired.
4. Weak immunity: Red meat contains a natural sugar known as Neu5Gc, and since the human body does not produce it, this sugar is considered strange, and when your body cannot tolerate meat, you may experience a toxic immune reaction that weakens your immunity and makes you vulnerable to various diseases.
5. Bad breath and body odor: Meat that has not been digested properly has a foul odor that will eventually pass through your mouth and body pores.
6. High blood pressure: Eating too much sodium in meat leads to high blood pressure and is a major cause of heart attacks and strokes.
7. Dark circles under the eyes: Your body will try to produce antibodies to flush out meat particles into the bloodstream that it considers foreign invaders. This defense mechanism produces unwanted side effects, including dark circles under the eyes.
8. Constant hunger pangs: When you eat a lot of protein and don’t eat enough carbohydrates, blood sugar levels drop, resulting in a feeling of constant hunger.
9. Constipation: Red meat is high in iron, so if your digestive system retains too much iron, you may feel constipated.
