• For all raw, there's always raw nori or collard greens. Drizzling a little oil and salt on either one before filling makes them especially tasty. If you're willing to do cooked, there are 100% brown rice flour tortillas out there that are quite good…

• It could be a number of things. I found that a gentle lotion that I regularly use on my skin and face actually makes the area around my eyes dry and flaky. I'm fine if I just use plant oils around my eyes. Could there be a similar situation for you?…

• If you feel like you're deprived on any diet, you will fail. I feel so bad for the people who "can't" have certain trigger foods in the house--that's not a healthy relationship with food. Don't get me wrong, I don't want steaks or butter in my house…

• Figs can have a laxative effect, especially in large quantities. Something to help absorb them, like an edible clay, may help your discomfort in the short term--if you're not feeling better by now.

• Apples just make me uncomfortable; they don't give me diarrhea, and I don't know why they would for you (or anyone). I also don't know if it matters; as long as you know what doesn't make you feel good, you can avoid it and be better off.

• Gluten is in wheat, barley, rye, kamut, and spelt. Some people who are gluten intolerant can tolerate oats, and some cannot; it depends on a gene. To play it safe, I'd advise avoiding oats while you try to see if you're gluten intolerant. I was also…

• Frankly, I don't see a problem with your eating extra dates and tahini every other week, unless it's causing you health issues. Maybe your body needs the calories and/or nutrients in those foods.

• It wouldn't be terrible to eat a plate of cooked quinoa--if you want to eat it, go for it. You can soak quinoa overnight and sprout it and eat it raw. You can also sprout and then cook it; it will still have a higher protein content than non-sproute…

• I really like kim chi served with some liquid sweetener (agave, honey, date syrup, yacon syrup), oil, and soy-sauce-type product (nama shoyu, miso tamari, a non-raw soy sauce, or just miso). For me, it takes off the edge and makes it very palatable.…

• Most dry brown rice is sproutable, and hence (obviously) raw. However, it will stay very crunchy unless you cook it, so I can't imagine why you'd want to eat it raw. You could sprout and then use it to make raw rice milk, though.

• I like NOW brand MSM; it's really economical and seems to work. I might recommend just using more MSM if you haven't noticed effects in the past; I haven't noticed too much variation in the brands. But I also don't have "epic" lashes--I'll have to t…

• I'm with sisterbecky. Also, flax, chia, hemp, and walnuts all have omega 3 fatty acids. I think you can get all the vitamin d you need from the sun, if you get enough sun. If you live in a temperate climate, you probably don't get enough sun.
