Lately, after meals heavy in animal protein, I've had really horrible stomach aches. Not anything I feel is worth getting checked out by a doctor, but bad cramps and just general pain. Also some very strange bowel movements.
My father said the same thing happened to him thirty years ago, and he decided to try a vegetarian diet for a month. He said he never felt better intestinally. Now, if he even gets a small amount of meat in his system, he gets crazy sick. Last time someone gave him a soup with bacon in it and he had to have his stomach pumped. For some reason, he can eat eggs just fine.
So he thinks I should try going vegetarian for a while and seeing how I feel afterward. Which is sad for me b/c I've spent my whole life making fun of him for being a vegetarian, and I love food.
It looks like I'll be trying to eat vegetarian for a couple of weeks and then re-evaluating things. Maybe I'll end up eating very small amounts of meat, but mostly veg. I don't know for sure.
This makes me sad.
Any advice? hoss?
