Problem digesting red meat

Problem digesting red meat

I am 14 years old and have a problem with my digestive tract. Everytime i eat red meat it doesnt digest fully. I dont throw it up, but it sits in my stomach, rots, and causes me to burp. The burps smell like really bad poop. What can i do?

Bman, some people are unable to eat red meat. Check with others in your family to see if they have the same problem.

If this is the only food it happens with, the easiest thing to do is just avoid eating it. But if the 'sitting in your stomach' happens with other foods, or if you're burping the same sulphur burps, you need to be checked by a doc for H. pylori and the possibility of delayed gastric emptying.
