Pheasant

What is Pheasant?

Pheasant is a game bird with tender, flavorful meat often considered a delicacy. It has a more refined taste compared to chicken or turkey and is commonly roasted, grilled, or braised. Pheasant meat is lean, high in protein, and lower in fat, making it a healthy option for those looking for game meats.

Why do I have an intolerance to it?

Intolerance to pheasant may occur due to difficulty digesting its lean, gamey meat, which contains specific proteins that some individuals find hard to process. Symptoms can include stomach pain, bloating, or even allergic reactions, particularly in those sensitive to poultry or game bird proteins.

What can I do about it?

To manage pheasant intolerance, it's best to avoid consuming the meat and opt for more easily digestible poultry like chicken or turkey. You can also try incorporating digestive aids that help break down proteins. Identifying your specific triggers through an elimination diet may provide further insights into managing the intolerance.
