Ostrich

What is Ostrich?

Ostrich meat is a lean, red meat often considered a healthier alternative to beef due to its low fat and high protein content. It has a similar taste to beef but is milder and more tender. Ostrich is often used in burgers, steaks, and stir-fries, and is favored for its nutritional benefits.

Why do I have an intolerance to it?

Ostrich intolerance can stem from difficulty digesting its proteins or an allergic reaction to the specific proteins found in ostrich meat. Since it is less commonly consumed than other meats, it might also pose a greater risk of allergic sensitivity in some people. Symptoms can include bloating, cramps, and gas.

What can I do about it?

If you experience intolerance to ostrich, it's best to eliminate it from your diet. You might find better tolerance with more familiar meats like chicken or beef. If digestive issues persist, digestive enzymes could help, and consulting an allergy test can help clarify any specific protein-related intolerances.
