Toddlers and beef

[charligirl]

Just wondered if you had ever seen this. We had roast beef a couple of months ago and DD (who was about 2 at the time) woke in the night, crying, whining and generally out of sorts and out of character. I wondered if it was indigestion from quite heavy red meat.
We have not had it since and ony stuck to minced beef dishes.

Tonight we had fillet steak for DH's Father's Day meal... DD had a small piece, it was Soooo tender and she chewed it well but has been waking since 10.30pm, again out of character. I am wondering if whole beef ( as opposed to minced) is just too much for her digestion.

It could be for her. Neither of my kids have had a problem with it though.

I cannot eat beef because of how sick it makes my stomach feel. Neither can my 4 year old daughter. She had it at my parents' house a few weeks ago and from about midnight through the next day she was whiney and complaining about stomach pain. Beef was the only thing she ate outside of her normal diet that day.

So, if everything else within those days was normal for her and the beef was the odd food then it could be a protein that her body does not digest very well.

My son's been eating beef (roast or steak cooked in the oven or crock pot) since he was 10 months old without an issue. Was it cooked through or was it rare?

Some people just react to it. We can't eat pork for that reason no matter what way we try it.
