Comments

  Thanks for all your comments. I was sick pretty much all day yesterday it came in waves. I didnt sleep until about midnight. I first tried chamomile tea and I had to vomit again then afterthat I didnt do anything for a while. Then I made 2 ginger teas over 2 hours. I drank those and it got a little better. I bought the food from a vegan restaurant which sells some raw and cooked items. I thought they would know to how to sprout properly. It could be that Im just allergic thou.

  I just read through your post and the many helpful replies you received. I'm glad you're feeling better, but I have a thought to share. Your violent reaction to the food and the "waves" of nausea sound so much like mild food poisoning. It's quite possible, don't you think, that the food became contaminated at some point - and harmful bacteria were growing on the sprouting seeds? I know you have to be very careful when sprouting. Just a thought that might help you avoid repeating this experience. It is possible that you're allergic to buckwheat, but, again, the "waves" of nausea you described sound more like food poisoning than an allergic reaction.

  Hi, i discovered this after experiencing severe nausea and cramps after eating soba noodles - The last time i had this feeling was after eating some raw crackers that i suspect had buckwheat in them. I thought it was a raw thing, like people are saying on this thread - but now i think that i'm allergic to buckwheat. What am i doing eating soba noodles when i know better about raw - because i can't cook well enough to keep the raw diet interesting. I end up making like a green smoothie and drinking it with doritos - i find all the breads and

  crackers to be a total disappointment with Raw and end up making rice and eating cooked

  crackers as i really miss cereal grains and raw bread sucks rocks next to good sourdough.

  Anyone else diagnose this as a buckwheat allergy?

  I once read somewhere that if you sprout buckwheat too long it becomes toxic. Not sure if that's 100% true though... But from what I read, the stem shouldn't be longer than the grain. Also, if you don't rinse it well enough twice a day and leave it in a super humid place, it's apparently not good either:)

  I ate "Go Raw" sprouted grouts cereal and each time had headaches, tummy aches, and just felt awful and groggy. My hubby ate it and felt sick to his stomach. Interesting to hear others have similar feelings!
