In my experience, this is not true at all.
My body definitely has difficulties digesting meat. It makes my stomach hurt, sits like a stone in my guts, takes days to be digested, slows the whole digestion down with all the bad digestive consequences this has, it also makes me aggressive and nervous (even with sadistic or murderous impulses), causes nightmares and insomnia and most of all it just makes me STINK.
Maybe the reason for all this is that my body does not produce the digestive juices needed for digesting it - but this is certainly not due to a prolonged (or any) period of vegetarianism. I was raised on a meat producing farm as a daily meat eater and had never stopped eating meat daily from almost my birth until I had my first vegan trial. It's only then that I noticed how bad it had been for me before! I felt an extreme positive effect when I quit eating it.
Maybe some people are just not adapted genetically to eating meat, whether they are/were vegetarians or not.
I'm blood type A. Those are said to do better on a vegetarian diet. However, I don't really believe in the blood type diet, because type As are also said to do great on lots of grains. And grains are totally bad and unhealthy for me, even worse than meat actually. So...
