Every time I consume past a certain quantity/proportion(not sure which) of fat, whether or not it tastes OK as I'm eating it(usually I would have gone past the point where it tastes 'great', but would just carry on, because it's there and doesn't taste bad, generally along with meat), I will later start to feel very sluggish, with poor circulation. Later on, I will get some stomach discomfort, which will then get worse until I have diarrhoea. I've never had this from beef, but have had it from bone-marrow and from lamb. However, the time I got it from marrow, I actually had a mix which included a large proportion lamb bone-marrow as well...
I only remembered part-way through writing this, that I had only ever experienced this when I had eaten lamb(edit: and VERY similar during my 'attempted fast')...
What is this?
Problem with lamb? With lamb fat? Fat in general?
Or who would even suggest it is 'detoxifying' me, not of what I have just eaten, but of substances which have built up in the past? I am aware of the possible dangers of this sort of thought, and may have suffered from them myself, but as so many people here tend to suggest such things, I will offer the possibility.
N.B. Diarrhoea comes with other nasty 'symptoms'... Ask if it may be useful in determining whether this is good or bad. I would certainly go for bad primarily, but of course, am always open to any suggestions...
It is a shame, as the beef which I can access is grain-finished. However I've found out that the lamb is fed roots in the winter, so I don't know how great that is anyway.
Additional information: The diarrhoea I had when I attempted a fast, which lasted 6-7 days, seemed similar to the diarrhoea from eating lamb.
Gall-bladder: I made another topic before about concerns over my gall-bladder/liver, which have arisen since my fast. However, recently I have observed that the feeling is similar to that which arises from the over-use of another organ, and wondered if the pain/ache was because it was being taxed to reproduce much more bile than it is meant to. I thought of this after remembering reading that most of the bile was absorbed and recycled, and wondered if I was losing a lot of it in this diarrhoea. I have also experienced cramps since the fast, and 'bile salts' is a term which I am familiar with, whilst I am also familiar with the relationship between cramp and electrolytes. This is a link which could buttress my 'theory'.
Edit: Holy Frickajibber! I think the last meal I had before my fast may also have been lamb...

I am interested in replacing most of my beef supply with lamb as it's supposed to be easier to digest and has more fat. I hear that lamb fat is supposed to be harder to digest, but this goes for cooked and I never confirmed this.

i have switched to all lamb meat as i find it softer than budget beef cuts and cheaper than premium beef cuts. also it is much fattier and i do not have to add more fat to it.
i personally do not notice any difference in fat digestibility between beef fat and lamb fat. both fats are almost identical with slightly different ratios of small and medium chain fatty acids.
i consume beef organs and suet as they are easier to get.

I've been ill every time I've eaten lamb... And never from beef.

if it makes you sick then it is definitely better to avoid it.
is it all lamb makes you sick or is it just lamb from one source?

Well, I've eaten lamb from Morrisons, Sainsburies and Tesco including British and New Zealand lamb.. I did get a small amount once from an Indian butcher but it made me feel queasy just looking at it so I didn't eat it.

I love NZ lamb, the taste is amazing. Does anyone think it could be grass-finished? Somebody pointed out that the layers of fat are a little too thick to be 100% grass-fed, i'd like an experienced RPD'er to look into that please! I've searched on google extensively and could not find anything about NZ lamb being grain-finished. I eat it quite a lot since it's the cheapest grassfed meat i have access to and the best tasting.

Not sure about NZ lamb, but Australian lamb sold in Costco is grain-finished.
