Why when my son eats red meat he gets a rash on his legs ?!
Question: We have notice that everytime I prepare red meat his legs start itching, and he gets like swollen ants bites that he scratches a lot? I took him to a dermatologist and she said it looks like an allergy, but why only on his legs? by the way he is 13 years old :)

HI Ramirez
Meat and dairy have the most man-made (in-organic) chemicals of all the foods we eat. If you plan to eat any meat I wouold use organic. It still might not solve your son's condition, but its much healthier for your family. The body reacts in different ways with showing us signs that are bodies are internally toxic. A rash is a good sign of an allergy. Although most rashes are not symptoms of a serious health problem, they can be signs of allergies, liver and gallbladder problems, lupus, bleeding disorders, nutritional deficiencies, and autoimmune diseases.
Rashes can also be due to the elimination of toxic wastes through the skin, or of an active immune reaction to an invading organism. Suppression of such a rash can lead to chronic disease states. Rather than try to suppress the rash, in such cases watchful waiting may be more advisable.
Natural Cures
Cleanse: The colon is the main organ to eliminate toxic waste in the blood. Do a colon cleanse every quarter and issues will be very limited in not all gone.
Diet: Screen for and eliminate any foods to which you are allergic or sensitive. Eat an organic, whole foods diet, with plenty of green leafy vegetables and yellow vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and winter squash. Also drink plenty of pure, filtered water, and avoid all processed foods and chemical food additives.
Flower Essences: Rescue Remedy Cream? applied topically to the affected areas.
Herbs: The following herbal remedies can speed healing: A tincture of equal parts burdock root and gentian root, the fresh juice of coriander, and/or aloe vera juice or gel.
Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Belladonna, Sulfur, Graphites, and Calc carb.
Juice Therapy: Drink fresh squeezed vegetable juices on a daily basis, especially carrot, beet, radish, and garlic juice.
Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can be helpful to speed healing: vitamin A and vitamin E (both orally and applied topically over the affected areas), vitamin C, essential fatty acids (EFAs), flaxseed oil, and amma linolenic acid (GLA). In addition, add half a teaspoon of baking soda to water and drink every fifteen minutes. Do this three times, and then every two to three hours for two to three days or until the reaction subsides.
Water: Be sure to drink around a gallon of filtered water a day ( I do) for hydration and eliminating toxins in the blood.
Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating rashes: Acupuncture, Ayurveda, Detoxification Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Orthomolecular Medicine, Osteopathy, Oxygen Therapy (Hydrogen Peroxide), and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Best of health to both of you
then dont eat red meat. haha that sucks. im sorry.
HI! He must be allergic to meat or whats in it-hormones or whatever. Take the little bugger to the doctor-good luck!
I have severe allergies. To many things.
And afterward i get eczema on my legs. Mostly by my ankles.
When the histamines run through the body there is less circulation in the legs. This is why my doc says I get it mainly on my legs. When it is a topical allergy I get hives everywhere. Compared to food allergies.
Plus boys wear jeans alot and that could cause a restriction of flow.
But I would ask your doc.
