My mother has been told that she should avoid eating red meat. I think Pork is classed as white meat but what is Lamb classed as.

Red. Strangely my wife has just been told she's short of iron and should eat more red meat - and lamb was mentioned
Perhaps BG's mum has some spare?

Lamb is definitely Red. Pork is generally classed as white, but physiologically I would have thought it wasmuch closer to lamb/beef than it was to poultry - so I guess it depends exactly what you are trying to avoid.

That's too sensible! NSC should always be consulted when other experts are not available. :guitar:

Has she got an ulcer or something?
Red meat is usually good for us gals - along with spinach and all those iron rich foods...in moderation of course...

Correct tedebear, when mine has her crimson flow every month, I feed her iron rich foods and she's much less bitchy towards me and the rest of the world.
Lamb is red meat. It has higher levels of saturated fats than beef.

Get her to drink Guinness, that's full or iron. A nail in the head is an alternative.

Similar but she is 90 years old and been referred to St Barnabas!!
On getting the news she and the rest of the family were too shocked to ask the surgeon and it was only when talking about her diet afterwards that we thought of what she could and could not eat.

Actually that's my alternative. When she'd get all frumpy I'd head to the pub down several pints and that is like a nail in my head. Numbed all the emotional blather she'd spew.
Oh dear, I see. My husbands father passed away in St Barnabas some years back following oesophegeal (sp?) cancer. Sadly his diet of red meat, red wine, and all sorts of other nice but nasty foods were probably related. He couldn't eat anything much like that towards the end and existed on cartons of milky carbohydrate drinks.
They are good people in St Barnabas, they'll know just what to do to help her.
Seems a little unnecessary. I suppose, you can always buy another one though, after all.

She is not going into St Barnabas but their nurses are going to come and supervise her at home.
Its a great service they provide. I'm sure they'll give her all the support and you all the information you need.
