Fatty meat / Mold & CIRS follow-up question

“Hi y’all,
First off - Judy and Laura, y’all make my day. Your friendship is so real and authentic, your knowledge and your dynamic… even if I wasn’t a nutrition geek, I would still listen to y’all. I generally listen to CATG as part of my post-work routine, while on my way to pick up my son from daycare. It brings me such joy. Thank you both for being you!
All that said, I have a couple of questions.
First off - in a recent episode y’all talked about how fatty meat like steak is preferable to ground beef, even if there’s a good bit of fat (like butter) eaten with the ground beef.
I am going to be real here and hopefully not be excommunicated, lol… I don’t love eating the fat on steaks. I don’t eat ribeyes very often, for this reason. I can handle NY strips sometimes although I can’t eat the whole fatty side - I can do a little bit but after a while it kind of makes me want to gag. The steaks I enjoy way more are flank, top sirloin, teres, and bavette - which for the most part are relatively lean - slathered in butter. But generally I much prefer a really good burger (again, with butter and maybe some bacon) to a fatty steak. I love butter.
I should mention that I don’t only eat beef - I eat a lot of chicken (mostly wings), turkey, some pork, eggs, and I sometimes enjoy some fatty fish like salmon and mackerel as well. I often use tallow for cooking as my son has a dairy allergy, so if I’m cooking something for the whole family (vs just for me), I will cook it in tallow instead of butter.
So - after all that context-setting - my actual question is this: Do you think it’s an issue that I don’t usually eat the fatty steaks? Should I try to get used to them? Or given everything else I eat, is this okay?
Next question: I re-listened to episode #66 recently and I’m wondering - unless I’m misunderstanding, it seems like the Cholestyramine will only bind and remove the mycotoxins that make it into the bile… so what about actually removing the mold that is colonizing your system and producing those toxins? My almost-4-year-old son, who has had eczema pretty much since birth, was tested for mycotoxins and the results came back that he has elevated levels of gliotoxin and ochratoxin A. My daughter was tested as well, and she has extremely elevated levels of ochratoxin A. My test came back negative, but I have the HLA-DR “mold gene”, so the fact that it didn’t show up in the urinalysis doesn’t surprise me.
Anyway, my point is that I don’t just want to be “mopping up” the toxins in our systems forever. I want to actually get rid of the mold that is the source. So does the Cholestyramine actually deal with the mold itself? Or what is the recommended protocol for dissolving biofilm / killing off the mold colony and all that when you have a CIRS diagnosis?
That was a lot, my apologies - but thank you in advance for your reply, and much love!”
