My husband gets the same thing! I’ve been looking into it after recently hearing about the tick thing which doesn’t appear to be his problem since he can eat pork but not red meat. Started when he was in his 20’s. But he also can’t eat sheep and goat dairy (which is less refined than cow dairy). He’s convinced it’s from something introduced into the food supply around that time as it developed slowly for him. Have you discovered anything more about your allergy?

I just learned about this reaction to red meat after you have been bitten by a tick. There is a blood test that can tell you if you have this sensitivity due to the tick bite. It is called an alpha-gal test .(for antibodies) I’m not sure of anything at this point because I have just heard about it. If you stay away from further tick bites it can go away in a few years.

Have you had any tick bites? That can often be the cause. Or just because, like any allergy.

For me it started with eating beef. But ive noticed lately that chicken also makes me feel like sumthing is stuck in my throat for hours after ive eaten(its actually 5am now, i had chicken for supper last night at 8pm). weirdly enough beef sausages/minced meat/processed beef like corned beef etc doesnt make me feel like my throat is closing up. Drinking a glass of water used to make me feel better. Now it does nothing. I dont have a problem with mutton, pork (cant be too sure though because i havent eaten any in a while) or seafood. What is wrong with me?

By the way, I had a milk allergy as a baby and throughout my childhood. The allergist said it might have stemmed from that.

Not necessarily, there could be lots of reasons for that, including physiological.

The question is more this: if you ate something with meat and didn’t know it, would you feel like you want to throw up?

Anyhow, it sounds like if meat makes you feel like that you will avoid it, allergic or no!
