So I have a rare blood disease where I can't process meat protiens or I'll die, but fish is the thing I react the least to so once a year I eat sushi.
Normally with any other meat I'll go in to anaphylaxis and have to go to a hospital immediately, but with fish I only get the crippling pain.
I eat a bunch of sushi once a year with no regrets whatsoever.
Worth.

PKU?

GodApollo
Ive been eating enough food for 2 my whole life. Now i know i was carrying om your legacy.
frogs2345
Was it caused by a tick bite ir was it genetic?
Kemfox
Genetic
TheDoctorAzAJ
Explain...?
Kemfox
It's a blood disease
jbilly90
Wow. This is intense. Ive heard of these allergies before. So can you post some good veg recipes on here plz
ZombieHugsAreBestHugs
I will destroy a rasher of bacon (with my mouth) in your honor, @OP.
ProgressPanda
I bet you have a bunch of brilliant recipes for vegan food.
doombuggy
This would be my worst nightmare. I hate vegetables. I'd die within a year if I couldn't eat meat.
MrSg
I'm allergic to dairy, and beer. I too live dangerously enough to eat real butter cookies washed down with a healthy dose of antihistamines.
ZOMGNO
An Irish friend of mine is allergic to Fructose, so no beer. But on St Paddy's Day.... SCREW THE TWO DAYS OF SUFFERING!
Kemfox
So my doctor called and told me the results of my genetic tests for the disease. It's a type of autoimmune disease where I can't process AA
AllSystemsNominal
Damn. That's kinda like being allergic to water. :/
majaloo
brave soul, so sorry but at least there is the candy D8 and the pie1!!
BumNanner
I'd kill myself. I honestly would. I love meat. I'd eat a steak every meal for everyday if I could. Good on you for dealing with it.
JustCallMeMrPigg
Found the vegan.
akki14
My friend isn't allergic but he lacks the enzyme to process meat. Had a stroke, got told to stop eating red meat. Well actually...
Natatattat
At least you can still have pizza. I'd give up meat way before is give up pizza.
vokzhen
Yea but meatless pizza is a sad an pathetic thing.
gewalt
I really like a good mushroom and pineapple pizza
captjaye
black olives, mushrooms, and onions are delicious!
CarolineAmelie
Margherita with fresh mozzarella is the best thing happened to man.

You're never had a four-cheese specialé.... it's cholesterrific!
aGrumpyPotato
Well, plain cheese pizza is always nice. I eat it sometimes when I'm sick of pepperoni.
Fuzzykitten777
Sorry for your loss. I'll eat more in your honor

"ONLY get the crippling pain". Your determination to eat inspires me to also eat

Well sushi is amazing

I have IBSC and eating raw veggies and salads hurts so much but I really love them. So I'll take my spasm drug and down a salad. Worth it.
Kemfox
Seizure mends and antihistamines are my life
tatercake
It's like me and cheese. It turns my digestive system into an absolute warzone, but once in a while I'll clear the house and eat a pizza
tatercake
Love me some cheese.
devtek
Is it specifically cheese or the lactose? I had thought it was just cheese for me too, turns out I was was severely lactose intolerant.
Kemfox
No regrets. Totally worth it

tumblrcansuckmybum
I'm allergic to canola and it's in absolutely everything here in the UK so once every few weeks I say F it and eat something I shouldn't.
tumblrcansuckmybum
Antihistamines are life.
Kemfox
Same
andrewtater
I have not been utilizing my privilege properly. I will attempt a proper meat-eater's blitzkrieg dinner this weekend.
andrewtater
Poultry of some sort, mammal, and fish. Land, sea, and air. I'm thinking dove, lionfish, and bison.
tumblrcansuckmybum
Never eaten bison but buffalo is absolutely divine1
Kemfox
Thank you, my good scuzball
SweatyNuN
Sushi is worth crippling pain. Then again what kind of pain. What's it like?
Kemfox
Like someone it jackhammering my immune system
Mokymok
Crippling, duh.
PsychoticWizardDragon
Like HOW crippling?

WTF did you do in your previous life? why god give you this cruel punishment?

It's genetics. You can't beat it.

Hey if you're ever on death row at least you can order a nice juicy steak and Rob them of the pleasure.

Onlypostsquestions
Law/procedur knowers: would they be obligated to save op in this situation? Or would they just say fuck it and leave him/her be?
WitcherOfTheFoxSchool
They are legally obligated to help. Must would just do it slowly.
Cipher915
Being such an odd situation, I'm not really sure. But in most other situations, officers are required to give aid when/if possible.
Turdnado
Last meals are kind of a thing of the past because fuckheads ordered a lot of shit they didn't eat just to be pricks.
Codered97
Last meals are still a thing but most states have set a $20 price limit. So usually it's fast food or pizza nowadays.
Onlypostsquestions
But would a sentenced criminal dying before execution be saved? How long before the execution does it have to be for them to stop trying?
Turdnado
Most likely they would try and save him because it's cruel to let him die. Then when he got better execute him.
Codered97
This is exactly what they do. They will save your life and stabilize you so that you can be executed.
Codered97
They are. You aren't allowed to die or kill yourself, the state has to do it. A ton of death penalty inmates are resuscitated 1/2
Codered97
after suicide attempts so that they can make sure the lethal injection is what kills them. (Former defense attorney)
TossABabyYodaToYourWitcher
That's kinda fucked up
weliveinaspaceshipdear
Why?
Codered97
If a prisoner dies on their watch, it is a potential violation of that prisoner's constitutional rights and they could be sued for it. 1/2
GeorgeSmiley
We must continue to eat meat in @OP's honor or else his crappy disease has won!
itsakidsbooksantiago
I volunteer as tribute!
GeorgeSmiley
All hail @josiemostly...wait what?
itsakidsbooksantiago
Man I just realized that implies I'm allowing you all to eat me. I did not think through my reference here.
GeorgeSmiley
Too late, get on the bbq

I will eat a rare steak in your memory tonight. God speed op

Try 'Sushi Jiro' in Tokyo or 'Sushi Tetsu' in London, both world class. You deserve the best
TheCanadianPoltergeist
I'm sorry to be THAT guy, but as a friend to several Celiac's sufferers, there is a MAJOR difference between a DISEASE and an ALLERGY. (1/?)
TheCanadianPoltergeist
A DISEASE means that your body can't actually process the foreign object while an ALLERGY just means that your nervous system is going (2/?)
TheCanadianPoltergeist
Crazy trying to figure out what to do with it. The difference is that DISEASES have little or nothing to do with the nervous system (3/?)
TheCanadianPoltergeist
While an ALLERGY is primarily discomfort caused by the nervous system. (End)
SuperKriddyKrud
PKU? My nephews have it. It's a weird mutation though, so they can have dairy and soy proteins. You're Xmen!!!
TheDoctorAzAJ
That's not what he described. Tho PKU sucks!
myr14d
So what's this condition called anyways?
laisametschbaetzlaondsoidawirschd
Shitty.
TheDoctorAzAJ
Made up...?
CatPresident
What a horrible existence. At least you're making the most of it.
BondageBurrito
horrible existence? there is more to life than having a steak. Sure it's fucking good but also sex is and music and other things. How stupid
CatPresident
Yeah but...steak
BondageBurrito
That's really retarted
Kemfox
So I forgot to mention that it is a genetic disease that shows at the start of puberty.

Kemfox
Yup
MPinky
On the plus side, there's a TON of amazing Indian dishes you can try!
Kemfox
Absolutely!
RobotMorty
I was going to ask if you were bitten by a tick or something.
TheAwfulNene
Huh, if I eat meat, my body immediately removes everything in my GI tract, with extreme prejudice. Shellfish more so.
TheHengeProphet
That makes sense. Before, I was wondering if you had been bitten by the Lone Star Tick.
StormageddonDarkLordOfAllAKAAlfie
So you got a taste of the good life... you poor chap.
ASimpleCashierGirl
Hey I have a meat allergy too! Dairy and eggs do it too, but I get complex migraines that look like strokes! I fell you, OP!
avorius
So thats what happens to all the mutants that don't have cool superpowers.
Kemfox
I laughed a little too hard at this
ArandomDane
ahh, thought you had the one from the tick bit.
tumblrcansuckmybum
Also my friend has a milder version of this. He's also allergic to milk, soya and tree nuts.
LuluWalden
I have a similar problem, mammalian or bird meat= hospitalised, fish= apparently ok..... no one can work out what the hell is wrong with me?
IntelligenceWithoutAmbition
No cow or pig protein for me or my body immediately expels... everything. It's... messy. I feel for you! Bodies are weird places to live!
Kemfox
Tats how it started for me!
Turdnado
It can also be the result of a bite from an infected mosquito.
MyCaruba
Some tick bites can introduce alpha-gal to humans and make them permanently allergic to non-human meat as well! Cannibalism is still fine.
Turdnado
People. The other red meat.
robthelob20
I feel ya, I go into anaphylactic shock from eating shellfish or peanuts. Used to be moderately allergic to dairy and eggs too lol
captjaye
you are barely compatible with life
robthelob20
I was, but my dairy/egg allergies have disappeared over time, so now I'm mostly compatible!
thehungryguy
have you ever used a spit bucket? chew the meat and enjoy the flavor but then spit it so you don't have to digest it
SweatyNuN
Seems like a pointless exercise.
thehungryguy
for everyday yeah, but a perfectly cooked ribeye? I would do that occasionally
BondageBurrito
Thats disgusting
Turdnado
Not really how this works. It gets in your blood stream in your mouth. Sauce, me with nuts. Tried it. Went to hospital.
thehungryguy
ah, i wasnt quite sure if that would be the case or not
MotherflippersThinkEverythingIsAMotherflippingJoke
It's not that same but I recently found out that I'm allergic to Diary...all diary. How do you manage?
TheMonsterKing
how will we know your life story
MotherflippersThinkEverythingIsAMotherflippingJoke
Short Version: Had twins, body has been shit since.
TheMonsterKing
i was making a joke about your typo, which you made twice
MotherflippersThinkEverythingIsAMotherflippingJoke
I see it lol.
Kemfox
I'd cry without dairy. You poor soul
TheDoctorAzAJ
You got a name for this disease?
Kemfox
It's an autoimmune disease. That's all they've told me so far
BabydickJones
Fakeitis, it sounds like.
TheDoctorAzAJ
Hmmmm, yes
BabydickJones
So what's it called?
Kemfox
It's real. Just not common
MyCaruba
I'm very interested in this as well because the only meat allergies I've learned about so far were caused by tick-bites. So fascinating!
TheDoctorAzAJ
Having been doctoring for 15+ years I have never heard of this type...
MyCaruba
The genetic one OP has or the tick-bite one?
TheDoctorAzAJ
Genetic
Talonotw
Ouch. We're you bitten by a radioactive vegan?

LazyBrazilian
Or a Lone Star Tick. Basically a radioactive vegan, the LST violently injects you with a sugar found in red meat. Your body reacts by (1/2)
Kemfox
Not a tick. Genetic blood disease
LazyBrazilian
producing antibodies to fight the tick, then continues to do so next time you eat meat. You are now allergic to meat. gg.
officialmisunderstanding
thank you. sause for confirmation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amblyomma_americanum#Meat_allergy
GutsTheStruggler
It says it "develops an allergy to non-primate mammalian meat"...so I can still eat monkeys? And people?
cathoderaysunshine
Up voting because this means I can still eat gator, right?
LazyBrazilian
Thanks, dawg. I actually meant to reply to my comment with a source, but I saw something shiny and totally forgot what I was doing.
RandomAbscessMemories
Good lord. How long until this is rolled into some plot by a vegetarian supervillain?
LazyBrazilian
That was my VERY FIRST THOUGHT.
LazyBrazilian
ISIS. O.O
Kemfox
I would cry if I couldn't eat dairy and eggs
ematic
If I were in your shoes, every meal would be a baked Brie, egg and cheese/spinach quiches, etc. Hearty, non-meat, cheesy & egg goodness.
pineapplepuppy
B.. but isn't egg a meat?
GeorgeSmiley
Unless it has been fertilized, no
pineapplepuppy
TIL
fistermatic5000
I'd like to talk to you about the vegetarian initiative.
DonQuixotic
Did you get bit by one of those lone star ticks?
fuckyouandyourwittyusername
So it was a radioactive vegetarian?
Kemfox
Yup
Tamzzzzzz
That's a good thing...CHEESE!
Kemfox
Cheese is love. Cheese is life.
ResistanceIsFutile
I'm like the polar opposite of you when my Crohn's flares, and I'm lactose intolerant. Thankfully in remission and can eat most fibers.
EzraFell
That's good. Eggs are the cheapest source of protein per ounce IIRC.
Kemfox
And dark leafy greens. But eggs are higher protiens ♡
MoltenBerle
Disagree; eggs are a terrible source of dark leafy greens.
danielw1e
What about peanut butter? Can you eat that? It has protein also
Kemfox
I can have peanut butter and honey. Just meat protiens I can't have
navyjeff
I can't eat dairy, so I feel the opposite of your pain.
BeneGesseritConspiracyTheorist
Me too. We call ourselves Lactards.
BatSam
Have you tried Lacteeze? Changed my life.
navyjeff
I'm going to look for that. I do use lactose-free milk occasionally.
BatSam
Me too, I love it. Highly recommend Lacteeze. Just take 2 tablets before you eat/drink dairy and no symptoms :D
