Unique Problem

Hi, I am new here and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice about my unique situation?

My problem is that I have a condition called oral allergy syndrome. Basically I suffer a severe allergic reaction whenever I try to eat all raw fruits,veggies,nuts, seeds, and coconut… with the exception of iceburg lettuce (and sometimes a peeled apple is ok). I can eat fruits and veggies, nuts, etc that have been cooked, canned, or jarred (basically processed by heat in some form). Example – i can drink orange juice from the carton but i cannot eat a raw orange.

I grew up on a typical SAD diet and have been overweight my entire life, despite dieting constantly since I was 6 years old. My health got even worse 7 years ago when i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, which has left me so disabled that I cannot work. My quality of life is very poor and since no doctors have been able to help me, I have done research on the computer on my own and that’s how i found out about raw food/juicing.

I truly believe nutrition is the key to getting my health back and I really really want to try this way of eating, but anytime I try and eat any raw fruit or vegetable, i break out in a rash, my eyes water, i start sneezing, my throat gets all itchy and feels numb and also feels like it is closing up…like i cant breathe. So far I have never gone into full anaphalactic shock, but I dont wanna risk it.

Since this is a raw food site, obviously people here advocate NOT cooking fruit and veggies, but I dont know what else to do. I was thinking maybe if I just steamed them lightly it wouldnt be too bad, but I dont know. Right now I am on my 3rd day of my first water fast. Everything I’ve read said I should break the fast by having raw juices or raw fruits and veggies. I bought a juicer thinking maybe i could make the juice and then heat it a little, but from reading I know that heat kills off the enzymes and vitamins.

I just feel really defeated, depressed, and trapped. Can anyone here offer any advice on what i should do? Does heating kill ALL the nutrition in the food or does some remain? Maybe if i just heat the juice gently and dont boil it? Thank you in advance for listening. ~PearL
