I have developed some sort of reaction to beef. It is not consistent, but often after I eat beef I get food poisoning symptoms. Vomit, cramps, bad diaherra. Everytime this happens, there is a similar aftertaste with my vomits and burps and a common smell as well which seems to permeate my stools as well. It is the same everytime, which has made it easy to determine "beef = food poisoning." My question is, with this same taste and smell that is common from one reaction to the next, could this be something MORE than food poisoning? When I just get sick from flu or virus, the smells and tastes are not there. I have learned to stay away from beef, but sometimes I just want meat. After this last episode, I have decided it is not worth it.

Its more likely to be due to allergy issues that food posioning. Yes the smell and taste may well be similar if its a reaction to that one type of food.

From what you have told me, I suspect you have an allergy to something in beef. Food poisoning is caused by a variety of different bacteria, and it is highly unlikely that you would get food poisoning after every episode where you eat beef.
