Vegetarians eating meat again

I stopped eating beef and pork in 1979. Around 2010, I became vegetarian for several years, but found myself not healthy. I added wild caught cold water fish and organic free range poultry back into my diet and it was what my body really needed. I did not experience any problems adding it back in. I have no desire to eat beef or pork and never will. I think since you are eating fish now, you'd be okay with organic free range poultry. I don't believe it's the meat that would make you sick, it's all the chemicals and drugs the animals are given.

My sister was pescatarian for just over seven years and last summer at the advice of her dietitian gf started adding poultry to her diet. She started with organic free range humanely treated chickens and experienced nausea and within an hour she puked it all up. The next time she tried the chicken it stayed down but she still had the nausea and the next three or four times before she felt fine. Then she added Turkey and had tgevsame problem. Now she is fine (but no longer dating the dietitian) and is even considering adding beef back to her diet.

I was ovo-lacto vegetarian for 15 years, due to various intolerances cropping up I found that it simply wasn't a healthy or balanced choice for me any longer and after a rather vicious battle with my conscience I decided to introduce meats into my diet.

Aside from the "ethical" feelings one may (or may not) have and getting used to the taste, I found that although I introduced the meat fairly slowly - starting with fish, then white meats, then a small amount of red, it made me fairly sick for the first few times - nausea, diarrhea.

I'm about a year down the line and have absolutely no issues now

Given you're pescatarian though and you already have animal flesh in your diet it might not be such a shock for you.

You are already eating meat. Fish is meat. But no your body doesn't forget how to break food down, that's just a myth

I was ovo-lacto for five years. I began eating meat gradually with no physical issues. It was mostly the strong tastes that were hard to get though. I started just eating chicken for a long time, then gradually got where I liked the taste of beef and fish. I had the hardest time with the flavor of pork and couldn't stomach bacon for years. I eat everything now.

Yeah, fish is meat, too. I haven't deliberately eaten beef, pork, fowl for 20+ years (and rarely eat dairy) and only occasionally will have fish (which I don't really like anyway). I can eat fish without noticeable ill effects; it's the heavy animal-fat sauces that really do a number on my stomach. When I have accidentally ingested something like beef-based broth or bits of meat in a salad, enough of it makes me queasy and sometimes ill for a day. If you decide to eat meat, even occasionally, your body has to do the same thing it does when you decide to eat more vegetables and fruit: your stomach's gut bacteria have to change to accommodate a food it didn't need to digest before, so for some of us, it takes a few days to a couple of weeks for that gut bacteria to change. We are adaptable that way.
