Yes...& no. When I hear allergic I immediately think hives and swelling but this girl's reaction was not that.
My friend is allergic to chicken. She gets stomach pains and troubles and vomits every single time she has it. Her doctor told her she's allergic based on the # of times she has gotten so very sick after eating it.
It was even to the point that she ate pasta at my house that I had boiled in some chicken broth and she said she would be fine, but within minutes she was arched over in pain and eventually vomited.

I know someone who gets a very bad stomach reaction to pork.

yes, I know several people who have severe reactions to pork.

Yes one of my best friends throws up every time she eats meat of any kind (except fish)

I know a few people that get very irritated stomaches if they eat beef/pork/chicken - like terrible for days so they eat vegan

I'm a vegetarian, and my (initial) main reason for becoming one was because almost all of the times I was sick as a child was after eating meat! (sick = throwing up) Not sure if it was a true allergy or not, but I developed an aversion and gave up pork and beef first at age 9, quickly followed by chicken. Turkey and seafood didn't bother me, but I eventually gave those up too in my teens.

I had my allergies re tested in May. Fish, pork, chicken and beef all came back as low-moderate sensitivity. Granted I have not eaten meat since I was 12, which might affect it but I always remember as a kid not liking it and feeling sick after.

A coworker has a family member who cannot have any beef products at all. Not sure how sick he gets, but enough for a teen boy to give up steaks. I feel sorry for the poor kid because he used to love steak, but he knows it's better for him in the long run to just skip it.
