Boar

What is Boar?

Boar is a type of wild pig known for its lean meat, often darker and more flavorful than domesticated pork. Its meat is prized for its richness, making it a popular choice in game dishes. Boar meat contains higher protein and lower fat compared to regular pork, and is commonly found in stews, roasts, and sausages.

Why do I have an intolerance to it?

Intolerance to boar meat may be caused by its unique proteins, which can trigger digestive discomfort or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Some people may experience symptoms due to difficulty digesting the wild game’s lean meat or due to specific allergens in wild boar. Cross-reactivity with pork allergies could also contribute to reactions.

What can I do about it?

If you suspect intolerance to boar, eliminating it from your diet is the first step. You may try alternative meats such as lamb or beef. Digestive enzymes or antihistamines might help alleviate mild symptoms. Consulting an allergen test kit can confirm specific intolerances.
