ground beef

I made meatloaf tonight, I am not sure if I ate to fast or if it is the ground beef, but it is not settling well. Anyone else tried this. Oh I am the start of my 6th week.

I had a hard time with beef till I was about 6 months out. Sat really heavy on me.

I am 7 months out, still not good friends with beef of any kind. Wait a week or two and try again.

I'm 15 month out from RNY gbs. The only ground meat that sits ok with me is medium rare bison burger. I've only had it once, last week and it was ok. Ground beef must be in a saucey state like chili. I don't even eat steak anymore. My meats are sliced turkey, fish of any kind, shrimp, crab and chicken. Meats for me must not be over cooked.

I'm over a year out and still can't eat beef. Ground turkey extra lean and moistened with something works well for me

ground beef has always been a problem - in fact the one and only time i vomited was because of a burger.

anyway, DH commented the other day that i can eat chili with GB, why not other things.

I think it is because its in with other things. if i eat meatloaf, i am done in two or three bites. burger - one bite.

so, on recipes that are mostly GB i would go with turkey. you can add stuff to it to make it taste more like beef (a1, Worcestershire sauce, even beef bullion.

i find sausage does the same thing to me - i would say it's the fat, but we buy the 96/4 (i think) GB and it can still bother me.

Possibly a little of both....ate too fast, didn't chew well enough or your pouch is just not ready for meatloaf. I've had varying results with meat in general. I can eat steak or roast beef but when it comes to meatballs, meatloaf or such made from gr chuck I sometimes have difficulty. Go figure? What I have found that works for me is making a taco meat mixture, using extra lean ground chuck and draining the fat after browning extra well before proceeding with the remainder of ingredients. This keeps well in the fridge for up to a week and I use it a 1/2 at a time topped with cheese & salsa.
It does take time to find out what will work best for you. If you have a problem with a particular food wait several days and try again. If you still have difficulty put it aside for a while. d
