Problems with beef

[nobodyknowsme]

Hey all,

I noticed that when I eat beef sometimes, it reacts with me strangely. Today at work, I had some flank steak. Almost as soon as I was done, my stomach felt a bit upset and it started repeating on me. Shortly afterwards, I started feeling really hot and also started to sweat. This sweating and stomach upset lasted for over an hour, and I didn't feel any relief until I drank some iced coffee, which seemed to cool me off, and after burping a bit.

Does this happen to anyone else? It only happens at work...it happens whenever I eat the steak and hamburgers served from the kitchen here at work...it normally doesn't happen when I eat beef at home.

Any ideas?

It could be that their beef is old or their kitchen isn't as clean as is it should be. Also, freezerburn can do some funky things to it - that makes me feel different if I eat it and it's been freezerburnt. I would avoid their food if I was in your position.

could be an allergy to something they season their meat with Ask them and see.

Re: Problems with beef

Sounds like a food allergy/sensitivity to me. Some people are sensitive to MSG as well...do you ever get that reaction eating fast foods? I agree with 2Big, ask them what they season their meat with.

YA, I get that reaction to hamberger when I make it at home so I don't eat it any more. I would suspect like everyone elese said though if you don't have this reaction at home and only at work I would say there is somehting in it that your body hates and makes you sick. COuld be old oil, MSG, spices etc. Whatever it is it's not good if you don't feel well.

Re: Problems with beef

Thanks for the replies...I will try to ask them what they season it with. I do get a similar reaction sometimes with fast food...just usually upset stomach, but it's the sweats/hot flash that seems to happen only with the beef.
