I have a question. I was diagnosed with a myriad of food intolerances this summer, hence my quest for a better diet and my choice of RAW. Are food intolerances still an issue with raw? For example, I can’t tolerate gluten, spelt, kamut, tomatoes, corn, mushrooms, peppers (all varieties), potatoes, papayas, kiwi, strawberry, watermelon, pineapple, orange, eggplant, (essentially all the nightshade veggies) and lots of spices. I really miss a lot of these foods, I LOVE mushrooms and peppers and it sucks I “can’t” eat them.
Does anyone have any knowledge on the subject? Is it a cooked vs raw thing? I never had any physical reactions (ie hives, rashes etc) that I directly linked to these foods, but I was having serious bloating and general malaise type feelings which lead me to the naturopath who did the tests.
Thanks! ~Shay

Thanks Vaughn! I actually found that the bloating issue went away after I stopped eating all the stuff the naturopath said not too, but I think most of it was the gluten. I found that if I caved and ate anything with gluten in it, it would come back. Yet another reason why I am going raw.
I have never fasted, but I am on the last of an 8 month long series of detoxes. 2 more weeks! I’m afraid to do a fast as I suffer from migraines and I will get one if I go too hungry. That and I usually only have one day off a week. But I am up to try anything!
