As I think I mentioned, my body has talked to me rather harshly after  
recent meals at friends' houses. I am not positive, but meat appears  
to be the unwanted substance. Apparently the gut adjusts to  
conditioning from variables of ingestion.

More reason to make diet changes slowly.

A plus for me is this is a reason for avoiding restaurants. Chris, who  
waitressed a lot when younger, loves to be waited upon. So the yin- 
yang of eating out or in swings as a pendulum. As with my only  
previously known allergy, shellfish, I may be able to use this meat  
aversion as logic for avoiding kitchens where unknown cross  
contamination occurs.
