Goose meat intolerance involves the digestive system’s inability to properly process compounds in goose meat, resulting in discomfort and various symptoms. This is a non-immune response, unlike a goose meat allergy, which is an immune reaction to proteins in goose meat, potentially causing severe symptoms like hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis. Goose meat intolerance generally leads to milder, primarily digestive-focused symptoms and does not involve the immune system.

• Bloating and gas
• Abdominal pain
• Diarrhea
• Nausea
• Indigestion

If you consistently experience digestive discomfort such as bloating, abdominal pain, or diarrhea after consuming goose meat or dishes containing it, it may be wise to consider a test for goose meat intolerance. This is particularly important if these symptoms disrupt your daily activities or if the specific cause of your discomfort is unclear, as it could be indicative of other dietary sensitivities or health issues.

Managing goose meat intolerance involves avoiding or limiting goose meat and dishes containing it in your diet. Since goose meat is consumed in various cuisines and dishes, it’s important to be cautious when ordering poultry dishes and reading food labels. Seek alternative meats or poultry that do not cause discomfort. Consulting with a dietitian can help ensure a balanced diet while avoiding goose meat. Keeping a food diary can be beneficial in identifying other potential food intolerances and in tracking dietary adjustments.
