I love it when people take my sarcasm seriously... even when I'm being
semi-serious.

Seriously, a sudden change in digestive habits (meat making the OP sick
out of the blue) should be checked by a competent MD.

You never know...

And chances of survival are MUCH better if you catch it before it gets a
chance to spread!

A very dear friend/co-worker of mine died only 2 months after being
diagnosed with Liver metastasis from Colon cancer.

Could he have survived if he'd been diagnosed when it first started?
