My boyfriend and I have been 100% raw for 7 weeks and everything has been going very well. We’re both cheerful, full of energy and enjoying all the benefits y’all already know about.
One unpleasant side effect he’s been experiencing has become more troubling as the weeks go on: first he was sneezing and feeling very allergic. he attributed it to loosing weight, saying that whenever he is a healthy weight his allergies get worse. But, now its gotten completely out of hand. His nose is running like crazy all day long. As in, he has to hold a tissue up to his nose constantly to make it stop. Then last night he had a rash on his stomach.
Can anyone share some insight or advice? Had a similar experience? Know of a good article?
Thanks!

Thanks RawVee. It’s easy for me to deal with my own detox, but it’s so hard to watch him suffer (I know, dramatic).
B12 is also found in wheatgrass, algea, and bee pollen. I read here somewhere that Gabriel Cousens says the amount of B12 in algea is not enough, but I added it up and one E3 AFA capsule has more than enough B12. The RDA is 6 micrograms, one gram E3 AFA (I stir it into green juice) contains 8 mcg B12, one capsule E3 AFA is 5.5 grams, so 44 mcg B12, more than 7x the daily requirement. Of course, algaes such as Spirulina contain less B12.
I use E3 AFA as an example because I can’t find a measured nutritional profile for wheatgrass or bee pollen.
