Do I have a meat intolerance?
If you feel sick, nauseous or have a headache every time you consume a burger or any other source of meat, then it is likely you have a meat intolerance. For most people, meat is an excellent source of minerals, vitamins and protein in their diet, so be careful! Lots of people do not know that red meat is actually a great source of iron for most people’s diet.

It can cause uncomfortable symptoms. Well, Allergy Test Australia can confirm if you have a meat intolerance with a food intolerance test.
