I’ve been vegan for 8 years and switched to raw three days ago. Since then my movements have been liquidy. A typical day consist of:
- blueberry, raspberry and banana smoothie
- raisins, hazelnuts and brazilian nuts
- big salad with olives, sunflower seeds and raspberry viniagrette
- tomato soup with zucchini
- avocado with lime
- spinach and peach smoothie
Since an avocado has soluble fiber, I’ve been eating one a day to prevent blockage but nothing seems to jump out as something preventing it from solidifying.
Am I over thinking this?
What were your movements like after going raw?

Maby you are still lacking the amount of enzymes you need to digest the raw foods ? it will come automatic, your body will start to produce more of them when you change your diet. Papaya and pineapple has a lot of good enzymes.
I agree with Bitt raisins and berries can get the tummy going. So can to many nuts, so go easy on thouse. Or work up gradualy. It can be to much fat too.
Eat more bananas they will make it more firm. Mono eating might help too or blend the salat in the smoothy.
Blue, thank you!
I’m not concerned yet as I still go once a day and the change in diet is new. I’ll definitely read up so I know what’s “normal.”
Thanks to everyone else! Just to clarify I don’t have diarrhea. I still go once a day but its liquidy. Today I’m going ease up on the nuts and raisins and eat more bananas to see if I can add some bulk.
