Gims, chances are its not the meat, but all the gunk they put into the meat before they sell the stuff. I ONLY buy Kosher meats, more expensive YES, but not pumped full of preservatives, growth hormonres and God knows what else before we the consumers get it.

Also Princess is correct, how are you preparing the meats. Fat is a killer for the gallbladder.

I hope you find the answer and this stops bothering you.

Hi Gims...I guess by now you have met with your nurse practitioner. How'd it go? I know you have no gallbladder, but now you are having problems digesting certain foods.

The aging process may play into this, but there are other considerations as well.

Whenever I have GI issues which cause a great deal of pain, I go to my trusted health care professional (primary care physician in my case) and get a referral to a GI specialist.

A few years ago I was having major dull pains after eating and my PCP said, "Get your GB out." I ddn't believe him until I was eventually in agony after every meal. Finally, I went to a GI Specialist who did testing and sure enough, it was my gallbladder. lol We nurses make the worst patients!

But you have no GB, so I'm semi-clueless. I'll say a prayer you find a resolution soon. Please keep us posted.

Hugs!

I called today and spoke with the nurse. She asked about being packed (used another word, but that's what she meant). I won't go into what we discussed, but after trying her suggestions, I'm to call her again next week. She didn't think there'd be a need to come in if I'm not in constant pain. I've not eaten meat, except for a turkey sandwich and a bite of spaghetti, since I posted. So far, so good. Thanks for asking Josie.
