I have been struggling with raw for about 5 months now. Last week I decided I wanted to make the commitment to stay high as raw as possible for awhile and see how I felt. Monday through Friday I was all raw EXCEPT for an espresso with added soy milk on two days. My stomach has never felt better – even last week I was EXTREMELY bloated, and this all seemed to go away. So Friday night came around and I made Nori rolls with a salad with sesame seeds for dinner… I’m not sure if the Nori was raw…and I used regular soy sauce because I was out of Nama shoyu. I started experiencing some tummy troubles IMMEDIATELY after dinner. I definitely think I have a wheat sensitivity (haven’t had tests to prove it yet)...I didn’t realize wheat was in soy sauce. Could this have caused it? My boyfriend was having a dessert, so I went on to mix up a banana with raisins and walnuts and a tiny bit of (not raw) cocoa powder. I don’t know if it was the unraw ingredients of the high amount of fat (about 1/2 an avocado in rolls, 1/4 cups of sesame seeds and 1/4 cup walnuts) or the mix of fruit and fat – banana & walnuts. Whatever it was, the food sat soooo heavy and I went to bed with a stomach ache. I woke up this morning feeling the same way,,, and haven’t been able to poop since! This whole week I was pooping like 3-4 times a day!! So my question is this: Could I really be that sensitive after only 4 days of eating raw? Or is it something else?
