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
Why doesn't she ask, whoever told her that, what she should and shouldn't?
Poultry, Pork - White
Lamb, Beef, GOAT - red
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.
Has she got an ulcer or something?
.
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.
. A nail in the head is an alternative.
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.
She is not going into St Barnabas but their nurses are going to come and supervise her at home.
