Agree, maybe it's the guilt from eating a baby animal?

Baby shrimp are the worst. 400 babies killed in a 1 lb sack, when they could have grown up and the same 1 lb sack would have only been 40 or less lives.

Probably just allergic to lamb..

Maybe this a ‘ewe’ problem?

(Sorry I couldn’t resist)

I bet you have problems digesting some of the unique compounds that make lamb different from beef. Below are some comments on these compounds from random websites.

It would probably be impossible to test for this. You could try to see if other foods have these compounds and also make you sick. But why?

It's pretty unlikely you have that syndrome that comes from an infection.

"3-methylindole, which can impart a rancid odor, and 2,3-octanedione, which indicates a pasture diet, also play a role in the overall smell."

"A diet rich in green leafy tissue and pasture can affect the levels of certain fatty acids, including linolenic acid, which can also contribute to the smell."

"Lamb meat can smell strongly due to branch chain fatty acids, which increase with age and the lamb's diet. Specifically, the chemical 4-methylnonanoic acid, along with other compounds like 3-methylindole and 2,3-octanedione, contribute to the distinctive odor."

The only good advice I have is don’t eat lamb.

Or allergic to something typically used in preparing lamb (e.g., rosemary, mint)

This is the only logical answer.

Whenever I eat lamb, I get an intense abdominal reaction about three hours later. I’ve done research and the only thing I can find is alpha-gal syndrome https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/alpha-gal-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20428608 but this seems to be caused by other meats as well, and only experience it from lamb. Any insight?
