I’ve been hearing that on a raw vegan diet that I need to take b12 supplements but every time I try to take them I pee neon(which tells me my body didn’t need it) and feel ill. Someone also said that in order to get long chain omega 3’s you need krill oil(I personally have ethical as well as health reasons for this diet). And my last question is, next year I want to have a baby and someone said that the raw vegan diet isn’t exactly the best for pregnant women or nursing babies. So can someone with more time raw then me (three months) tell me what’s the truth? Thank you.

Thank you for your comment. I love chia and hemp seeds and I know there’s omega 3’s in pumpkin seeds, walnuts as well. How long does detoxing last? I’ve been raw for three months and I think the worst of it is behind me (although I know my body is still trying to find balance).
Hey! About the pregnancy, Kristin over at Kristin’s Raw (http://kristensraw.blogspot.com/) is blogging about her pregnancy preparation and doing it all raw vegan. I bet you can find some great info there!
Thank you all for the replies. To bitt, what’s sub-lingual?
Hi, I just thought I would mention a site that you might find helpful: http://www.RawMom.com has a lot of information. I’ve been looking up similar information lately, and ran across it.
Also, the book The Raw Detox Diet has some information about pregnancy. It’s been awhile since I have read the book, but I remember there being a chapter or two about it.
Shitake Mushrooms contain vitamin B12… (according to naturalnews.com’s healing food reference page)
Also, I’m not a mother yet, but I’ll definitely be 100% raw vegan throughout my pregnancy… I can’t imagine anything healthier for myself and the baby… broccoli sprouts will be a staple food of mine :)
Thanks everyone for all the good info.
