I have been raw for a little over a month now. My family is not experiencing any of the food sensitivities that I am. Everyone jokes around that pregnancy and childbirth must have really detoxed me and "cleaned me out." But I have been the only one really experiencing truly unpleasant detox symptoms. It seems so backwards and unfair.
The majority of the symptoms are not too uncomfortable and I know that they will pass, but this one concerns me a bit. We've been eating pretty consistently and 75%-80% raw diet. The 20% makes up our cooked food "needs" while transitioning. I have now found that, at least during the past week or so, that each time I eat a cooked meal of any kind, my stools are extremely soft, and oftentimes I get diarrhea. I must admit, I have been giving in to my cravings more lately, and sometimes I wonder if I'm being punished haha. Nobody else in the fam has had anything like this. I know that this means that my body really wants me to be 100% raw. I'm just feeling really uncomfortable and alone and I was wondering if anyone has experienced anything remotely like this.
Am I getting too much fiber maybe? What is going on with me? Seriously. Help =(

The same thing happens to me. It's never uncomfortable though, luckily.
I wish I could give some advice but at least I can tell you that you are not alone.
Thank you sooooooooo much to everyone for sharing you thoughts and experiences with me. It helps so much to know that I'm not alone and that, yes, this is "normal" haha. I was thinking of doing the soup idea as well just this week. Thanks so much again for all your caring words and advice.
Love love love,
Jenny =)
