• Thanks RawVee! I am trying to limit those things esp the flour (which I have had a bit more of than I usually do this week). I love raw peanuts – that is gonna be a hard one but I will try. I do eat some probiotics as I make a raw sour cream with pr…

• Spiritedmama – Yes, I think I will change the blade on my razor. I don’t shave there that often and don’t need to right now. I thought I had changed it right before I shaved last time but I think my bf has been using my razor and not telling me (grr…

• Yes, a little more water will help. Are you doing whole flax seeds or ground? I noticed that ground will produce more crispy – soaked you get chewy.Also, dehydrating longer for certain recipes tends to produce a crispier cracker too.

• So, it sounds like it a pretty common phenomena to start getting the cravings at the 2 month mark than and it could be due to a mineral defiency? Hmm..interesting. I am going to get the book. For myself, I don’t intend on being perfectly 100% raw al…

• I am actually just finding out that I have some level of candida also so I am looking into a more restricted diet until I get rid of it. I have some “yeast rashes” (pityriasis versicolor) that I can’t get rid of.

• I use the coffee grinder too for smaller amounts and my Blendtec (which actually has a special cycle for “grind grains” – works great on all nuts too) for larger amounts.

• I have heard of that book – I haven’t read it yet. I have a few books on water – mostly about how dehydration is the cause of disease which makes sense to me in a way as you say, we are made up of some much water!
