Why can't my body digest meat?  Painful! What type of illness is it and why? If and when my food even touches meat or juices from meat,  I must endure acute pain while my digestive tract is trying to process the food through my system. It is as painful as childbirth & sometimes worse. In addition I feel like I am have an allergic reaction for days after the consumption. I am very lithargic and ill. I have been to several drs for this - which they all call this irritable bowel syndrom and give me a bunch of pills to cover up and help me through.  

I have now been a total vegetarian for two years and recently found accidophilus was very helpful to my digestive system.   

Any ideas what this condition is or if there are other natural items to increase my digestive health.  Will it go away with out all of those medicines that I refuse to take just to sedate my intestines?

Thank you for any and all help/ideas that you can provide.
