But to find out further factors, it turns out there are experiments conducted. Namely by monitoring eating habits or diet patterns from participants who are considered to represent the research subjects that they want to go.
Found that people who have been vegetarian or vegan will experience changes in the digestive tract. Those who have not consumed meat for a long time are reported to have strange symptoms when consuming meat again.
Like a bloated stomach, nausea, stomach cramps, to some symptoms that indicate allergies. A professor from the United States said the adjustment of the digestive process was the basis, but still needed special observations.

So far the condition of a sudden body allergic to meat can only be explained through Alpha-Gal syndrome. This means that the immune system will receive animal protein that enters as an attack that can trigger anaphylaxis to death.
Kersten explained further, from the results of his discovery, the most painful conditions will be experienced by people who avoid animal protein at all. When he re -consumed it even for a small level can trigger symptoms of physical pain or emotional instability.
But it was also mentioned that the body’s chances of forgetting to digest the meat are very small. Meat is considered as other foods such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts that both have fiber content.
There are microbes and enzymes in the digestive tract that will continue to recognize meat as a food that must be digested. The biggest condition of animal protein allergy occurs not from meat, but a sensitive condition to lactose which will have difficulty receiving animal protein through milk and its derivative products.
