catalinav, I eat red meat and seafood. I just don't have it everyday.
I may have red meat once a week, and seafood twice a month, and
I have been able to remain stable. I have mentioned this before in a
post that I do much better totally removing the food that cause inflammation. I quit all meds. and thanks to my chiropractor who put me on a anti-inflammation diet I have not had a major vertigo attack for almost 1 1/2 years. Which has made my life much more bearable, I can at least go out and semi function.

I eat red meat its a low sodium meat.....

I have Menieres disease and seafood is on my diet. But red meat is a big no-no. Tried out for myself and ate a New York Strip, I paid for it. Experiment complete. I eat fish and chicken and turkey, I can have some pork but no smoked or cured type. No salt, the salt shaker is gone from my table. No caffeine and no chocolate. By the way if you like boating, those days are over , no cruises either. Chiropractic treatment made me worse so I discontinued. Truthfully we have a disease that is difficult to cope with, you have to figure out your triggers and avoid them. I see that some people eat red meat but I can't.

HI FRIEND, I EAT ONLY BEEF TENDERLOIN, ITS THE LOWEST IN SODIUM. I ORDER FROM OMAHA STEAKS,THERE TELL YOU THE SODIUM. I THINK I TOLD YOU BUT HEALTHY HEART .COM HAS ALOT OF NO SODIUM FOODS LOOK IT UP ,YOU CAN STILL EAT GOOD,HUGS SHIRLEY

It depends on how you get your meat too. We used to just get our beef from Walmart or Kroger and I had a lot of problems then. Then, about 8-9 months ago we started getting our meat from Whole Foods and now we get meat from a local butcher. We eat only organic, grass fed qbeef with not hormones or additives. It is naturally lower sodium because it isn't preserved in any way. Plus, it avoids all the other things they put in meat nowadays like ammonia. I find I can eat small amounts of this several times a week with little to no effect. it also tastes a TON better! I use a huge myriad if spices in my cooking-but absolutely no salt. I only eat seafood about once a month or even less often then that, which makes me sad :-/ but we are finding ways to completely change our diet and I believe it's helping to some extent!

I gave up all meat a little over a year and a half ago. It has made a big difference in my life. There are thousands of recipes out there, so living a vegan lifestyle has been ok. I do miss the hamburgers every once in a while, but not they way that I felt when I was eating them. I like the soy products that are made to imitate meat, but too much of that is not so good either.

my doctor just told me no cheese - of course my favorite food. Not even low sodium cheese

Hi Catalinav
Being in the food business for almost 30 years I can tell you quite a bit about the food side of the problem. I have not heard where beef should be restricted but could understand if you consider any beef product packaged probably has some degree of injection (salt and water) this is just a cheap way to add profit and add flavor to food. Ground beef maynot have it added but preformed and packaged hamburgers sure do! Bulk beef and roast dont have it but precut frozen steaks and all assorted lunch meat (or roastbeef) dose. The important thing is that one has to decide for themselfs what works and what dose not work for them as many have voiced. Beef dose take longer to digest in the system than other proteans I do not know if that makes a difference.

God Bless!

I've never heard of cutting out particular types of foods, just excess salt in particular. Red meat should be fine and we all need the iron that it provides.

red meats that are not processed have a low sodium count. I believe 64 mg per 4 ounce serving. I am careful about chicken try to stick to fresh that has not been injected with a sodium solution. the sodium injected chicken has a ton of sodium about 180 mg per 4 ounces verus natural chicken at 65 mg. So watch your chicken. try to only eat fresh water fish that isnt frozen. (why they need to freeze things in salt is a puzzle to me.) Most of the tuna companies now have a very low sodium tuna also. Pork is hard to find that hasn't been preserved in sodium. Normally have to go to a butcher for that.

Kroger is now offering simple truth Chicken that does not have any additives and Trader Joe's has frozen Chicken Breasts that does not have added sodium. I have found that I truly enjoy them more than the Chicken that has the sodium additives.
