    Default Haven't eaten beef in 20+ years - now I am craving it!

    I don't know what is with me. I haven't eaten beef in forever. Quit after driving past a feedlot too many times on road trips to Disneyland.

    I've never been a fan of steak, even when I still ate beef. Now a McDonalds cheeseburger (the smallest cheapest one) or french dip sandwich - that was the kind of beef for me. Not a huge hunk of meat that I end up wondering what the muscle group was, etc.

    I keep thinking about beef vegetable soup, thin sliced rare beef in a french dip, etc etc. Beef has grossed me out for years. This is crazy.

    It is crazy, lol! I feel for you

    Are you taking an iron supplement? Might be that your body needs iron. If it doesn't, hopefully this will pass soon for you!

    Get your Iron level checked first. when you crave, it may be your body saying it's low on somthing. I am not a big red meat eater either, but I find that when I eat various types of beans; pinto, black, etc.... It fills the craving.

    I will. But with my first fusion I dropped down to a hematocrit that was ordered to be transfused ( the last day, when I was set to be discharged - so they just sent me home) and I sure didn't have beef cravings then. Weird.
    I switched to flintstones chewable, it has some iron it. I just take 1 though, I don't know if adults are supposed to take 2.

    It's the opposite with me. I used to love steak! Now it grosses me out. Icky!!! Although a French dip does sound good! Now I have to wonder how long it's going to take to get that thought out of my head, lol!

    Adults are actually supposed to take MORE vitamins than kids, not less.
