Im new so please forgive me if this has been posted recently, im having an bit of a time navagating :p. But i currious as to how many raw's have multiple food allergies or intolerances. I havent gotten my test results back yet but i know very very bad things happen to me of i eat peaches, nectarines,, soy, all nuts, some seeds, cows dairy/flesh/gelatin, eggs, gluten and a few im sure ive forgotten becaus eive eliminated them fromt he house lol. I know a few of those are irrelivent to raw but the rest of them like nuts, seeds, soy, and gluten create some harships with raw :(. Is there anyone else here living raw with say 10 items are more off limits?
Thanks for sharing,
Natalia

Do you have problems with these foods when they are raw???
Well some like eggs and beef i obviously havent tried raw (nothing wrong with it if you do but its not for me) andthe rest yes raw or cooked they make me highly ill.
Freewitheft - Wow i feel for you. Ive been limiting soy and corn for a while but last year i had to drop soy entierly (i can only tolerate very miniscule amounts like lecthin or a dashof tamari on my veggie roll) and with all my respritory problems i stary away from corn except when i really crave it. Corn is especially darn hard to avoid! And oh yes strawberries and mangos scare me some since i developed all these problems since they are so allergenic. So far no signs of allergies to tomatos but they do give me hot flashes when i am hormonal :p. Oh and no worry about the hijack im glad to hear about what has worked for you. MS, fibromyalgia, parkinsons, and alzheimers run in my family along with high rates of cancer and heart disease so i will soak up any information i can get:).
CamiHeartsRaw - Alright im feeling pretty well of seeing that i can have apples, peppers, tomatos, ect... Is your blog on here or hosted somewehre else it sounds very helpful :) (Silly e just saw the link :P). Thank you for your kind offer to help *hugs* so far im finding lots of things i can easily modify on here which im very thankful for. Im fine with sunflower, broccoli, and clover but have yet to try chia or fenugreek. I havent tried sprouting sunflower or buckwheat though so that will be a fun thing to try. Is buckheat still bitter once sprouted?
DreamBrother - I appreciate the advice but im my case i had the unlucky experiance of a full on auto-immune assult in which my body took my most common allergy prone foods for enemies. I didnt find out what alot of them were till i had already developed a very severe allergy or reaction. Aside from infancy which i obviously dont remember ive taken antibiotics twice in my life never smoked or was around it and never drank more than a small glass of wine once a month or so. I also have never taken an asprin and have maybe had 3 ibiprofin in my life so my intestines havent exactly been abused. I certainly do focus on overall healing and detoxing but for me persoanlly its easier to accept that i will never eat those foods again than to keep trying and feeling miserable. One day if that changes it will be a pleasant supprise :).
Thank you for all the replies everyone! I will be sure to check out the link you have been kind enough to enclude :).
Freewitheft - I was but not at first. I was a hysterectomy child so i couldnt be breastfeed till the drugs were out my my mothers system and she was stable enough to hold me. The only allergies i had before 2 years ago were to bee's and certain drugs. The only food thing i had ever reacted to was artifical cherry flavoring the rest all came on as an adult. I have trouble getting in probiotics since most of the food ones are dairy or soy based and most pills are comprised of gelatin but im working on it :)
