Intolerance to raw animal foods?

[Guest guest]

Hi all -

I'm just curious about this. My father-in-law *supposedly* gets

violently ill if he eats any undercooked meat such as hamburger or

poultry. I'm not sure about rare steak or the like. But he's eaten my

homemade ice cream (with raw egg yolks) without problems I believe.

Could this condition have something to do with his kidneys? What could

be going on here? I think it's partly in his head myself. He does not

eat remotely NT, grass-fed, etc.

thanks!

, factory farmed foods are notorious for bacterial contamination.

I wouldn't eat a factory farmed burger unless it's at least

medium-well done. Steaks, on the other hand, should be OK rare, as

the bacterial contamination should be mainly on the surface and thus

killed by cooking. With burgers, contamination that was on the

surface of the original meat can end up inside the burger after it's

ground. The only way around that is freezing for something like a

week or more.

It's also likely that his gut does not have a good balance of

beneficial microbes. Probiotic foods like active yogurt, kefir, or

fermented veggies should help in that regard. Many years ago, I used

to have problems with food going through me like a shot fairly often

when I ate out. Now, it's very rare. And I eat steaks rare when I

eat out

As pointed out bacterial contamination can be high in

conventional beef like hamburger. I'm not sure what the deal is with

poultry but I'm sure it has to do with the way conventional poultry is

raised. Conventional beef are at least on grass until a few weeks

before they are slaughtered.

Does he know your ice cream contains raw egg yolks?

Buffalo too, has beautiful summers but not this year. Cool and rainy.

For the first time in ten years, we never installed the air

conditioners. My line on all this is, somebody better do something

about global warming before I freeze to death. - Ostrowski

Thanks & -

He didn't know about the egg yolks until the next day, and I don't

think he had any problems. But I used local free-range eggs. I

suppose it could be bacterial in nature, and because of conventional

meat methods. I've also heard that it could be kidney-related. Any

ideas about this?

I guess it depends in part on what you mean by " violently ill " , but if

you're talking about food poisoning-type symptoms, AFAIK they're not

caused by kidney disease.
