I had my first allergic reaction to red meat in 2013. My diet currently consists of some form of chicken at every meal, or ground turkey.

It was 6 months of torturous experimentation to figure out why my stomach was burning like lava after every meal. When I had something important to do that day I knew I could eat bread or crackers to avoid a food reaction.

The allergy is rare in my home state so I had to see a doctor from South Carolina to recognize my symptoms and order the correct test.

Sorry your reactions are digestive :( I feel lucky to have skin hives only in response to this - worst being lips and tongue occasionally.

Ask your doctors to become educated on it, though I'm not sure it'll do much good to you it may help the next guy they see with AGS. Send them the nih.gov papers linked in these comments.
