No red meat

[Sheila G.]

Has anyone been told they cannot eat red meat?  Once I got a celiac blood test, that was the first thing the doctor said.

In another post I believe you mentioned that you had Covid-19, was this the reason you might have issues with red meat, or is it an allergy?

People with celiac disease can generally eat red meat, as it is gluten-free.

Sounds  more like a diagnoses for a tick bite.

I wrote myself a note to call this dr tomorrow.  Nothing was said about a tick bite from me, or to me.

Maybe because I got the covid, where I got Celiac.   I will talk to the Dr tomorrow

I was diagnosed with severe Celiac in 1980 . I was in the hospital for a long time. They finally took many tests and I was diagnosed with severe Celiac Disease.  It took me 3 years to get my Gut to where I could eat regular meals. I ate beef 2-3 days a week, chicken for the other days.... Not large amounts! I eat SMALL amounts, as too large a serving is hard for me to digest. I am now 87 years old and I still eat the above.  I do encourage you to CHEW each bite till it is very mushy. I was told early on, digestion starts in the chew.  I wish your tummy all the best.

Thank you so much for your reply.  Last night I did eat a smaller amount for dinner but I'm not chewy like you mentioned, but, I will start that today.  🙏🏻❤️✌️

I did talk to the nurse and she asked who told me no red meat.  I explained the person who called with the results of my blood work.  That was last week.  She told me the doctor was on vacation and would be back this week and she would talk to him and have someone call me this week.  I have not received a call yet.  I will call them back Monday as a reminder.

I particularly try to get lots of red meat, mostly beef.  I'm slightly anemic, which isn't uncommon in celiacs.  Red meat is healthy for us and the environment.

[Scott Adams]

That makes sense, especially since anemia is so common in people with celiac disease, particularly if there has been any malabsorption. Beef can be a very helpful source of iron, protein, and other nutrients, so it is understandable that you focus on it. A lot of people with celiac disease find they need to pay close attention to iron levels and overall nutrition, even when they are doing well on a gluten-free diet.
