Yes! The same thing happened to me! I pinned it down, FINALLY, to grainfed
beef and chicken livers too. (I don't know what chickens are fed but it
causes the same symptoms.)
I get extremely itchy as well. Now that I eat only grassfed beef or wild
meats or any animal that doesn't eat grains (or milk), I am ok. Milk and
wheat make me itch and cause the bloating and cramping too.
Sometimes pork affects me adversely too.

Therefore, I now make pemmican with coconut oil instead of suet.

Good luck!

Susan
