Heather says to avoid red meat. However, my body does not absorb iron from non-meat sources, so would a few ounces of low fat beef once or twice a week be all right. Beef does not seem to be a trigger food for me.

There are many other dietary source of iron than beef. See this NIH wite site for an excellent discussion of other sources of iron in foods other than beef.

If you are 100% certain that beef is not a trigger for you, then by all means enjoy it now and then! Every single food on the common triggers list is not a trigger for EVERYONE. I am nearly certain that aspartame, for example, doesn't bother me. I also seem to be able to handle small amounts of dairy. And yes, even beef – I had some ground beef still in my freezer from before I started the IBS diet, and rather than throw it all away, I decided to try it one night. I cooked it in a frying pan with no oil, dumped it all onto a plate covered in paper towels, then pressed more paper towels down on top to squeeze out as much grease as I could (there wasn't much because I always bought lean or extra lean anyway). I then combined it with tons of soluble fiber – potatoes, carrots, rice – in a casserole, and had no problems with it whatsoever.

IBS-A since age 12, and fructose sensitive; with the exception of my pregnancy, have been following Heather's diet since Nov. 19, 2007.
Taking 12g of Acacia per day. Relatively stable since March 2008!

When I make anything with ground beef for my husband (i.e tacos, hamburger helper type stuff) I rinse off the beef with warm water in a collander. Nobody seems to notice and it always tastes the same. It gets alot of the grease off.
