I will say that I used to suffer greatly from reflux and gastrointestinal nasty stuff (IBS and the sort) I always thought it was the meat BUT when I began to cut out things like simple carbs, starchy foods and increased or ate good veggies and quality fats and meats BINGO not one more problem. I have not taken an antacid in 2 years, as well as prescription drugs.
Heck I passed on the book I read to my doc and he is a convert.
He admitted that most general prac. were never really taught nutrition, they just went on the assumption of what they covered in general nutrition classes.

Try the ribs with less sugary stuff in the sauce...
Then again I don't know your system so I'm probably wrong in your case! :)

I'm on a lean meat - low carb regime myself, but I have spasms that hurt like a heart attack if I don't watch it (mostly triggered by stress (namely one beloved but bewildered 16 year old who is starting to improve), and that can cause blockages leading to pancreatitis. NO fun.

So I am very careful.

Since I started being careful about carbs and portion size, things have greatly improved, though.

My sister has had IBS since she was young and one of the few times she has had any relief from it was when she was on the Atkins diet.
