I’ve never thought of beef as acidic. I was told for him to not eat pork or chicken. Do do you know why? I want him to have a normal life and he’s flexible with diet if he can feel better and have enough energy to go back to school. I’m concerned he’s getting depression. The other day he said “I don’t feel good. Not like I’m sick. Just like I’m sad and angry at the same time.” I think this is a lot for a 7 year old to digest.
