• Maybe I'll try the fermented foods first. I'm not really into taking supplements of any kind and don't really have the money to, either. I'll keep you posted on what happens and what I all experiment with. Thanks for the replies!! :)

• I agree with swayze and joannabanana--- but, I do suggest throwing in those leafy greens if you aren't eating any. They are highly beneficial. I don't eat them every single day, but I try to get them in a few times a week at least; I have noticed a …

• oranges (might be heavy, however) are great for traveling...they keep pretty well, they don't get ruined easily the way bananas and apples and such do. melons would probably work well too, but they are bigger, so it depends how much you're willing t…

  in RAW camping? Comment by Tweedle
• thanks :) like I said I'm the world's biggest cheapskate, I am always looking for ways to save a penny or two... people think I'm weird because I wash out plastic bags and re-use them. not only does it save money, but the planet too :)

• bananas, bananas, bananas! so cheap, and filling. whenever I am low on money, I pretty much live off of bananas. I can always afford nanners. always pay attention to what's in season and locally grown, and always keep an eye on what's on sale. also …

• first of all, why are you experiencing deficiencies? clearly your diet is lacking, and especially in terms of calories. why are you eating so little? you sound overly concerned about your weight whilst you also sound to be very slim... anyway. if yo…

• aniles5, I have the same problem. what kind of dehydrator do you have? I have been relating my issue to my dehydrator but it could be something else. otherwise, what are you putting on them? olive oil or anything? if you put too much olive oil on th…

• Raw Passion, all kinds of things can upset IBS, but I am wary of your doctor's advice on NOT eating fruits and veggies. I've struggled a lot with IBS myself, and I've had to do a LOT of tinkering around with foods to find out which ones upset my IBS…

• I'd definitely give a zucchini pasta a try if I were you. You could blend up some cashews with some water and spices for a nice alfredo-y sauce. yumm! it was the one dish that really saved my life while starting out

• luckily the store I go to carries bags of peas that are not frozen, just sealed and refrigerated. I haven't tried them yet, but want to!

• Raw corn is one of my favorite things on the planet. yum. Digestibility is good for me, much better than cooked as someone previously mentioned... whoever said they used the corn silks... I didn't know you could eat that stuff... how does THAT diges…

• man... I'd love to run barefoot but I'm so clumsy I'd worry about stubbing my toes and such. Also, are you not more injury prone barefoot running, or am I wrong? I've been interested in this, but I have my doubts about it...

• I've had this problem too. Those bananas scare me. Superfood, how can you tell the difference? Just buy organic?

• I don't think there is any for I so we'll skip to J JACKFRUIT Jackfruit is commonly used in South and Southeast Asian cuisines.[24] It can be eaten unripe (young) when cooked, or ripe uncooked. The skin of unripe (young) jack fruit must be pared fir…

• I agree with sisterbecky. MariannaS, when I first went raw I felt like throwing up almost everytime I ate dinner, because I'd have very dark green veggies at dinner (broccoli, spinach, kale, etc)-- green veggies can upset your tummy when you aren't …

• thank you guys for the suggestions! I think first, I'll check out that store on the campground resort. I actually watched a Travel channel show about Disney World not that long ago, and they talked about that resort... and I bet my best bet would be…

• I would imagine if you're over-stuffing yourself that anything, even fruit, could cause that. It also might be the stress. Stress can wreak havoc on our bodies in many different ways...especially our digestive systems. so relaxing is a good idea :)

• this might sound silly but have you guys ever tried hashing it out with a family counselor or some sort of mediator? My mother and I struggled with our relationship many years after she cheated on my father with (and left my father for) my brother's…

• Yeah, it's definitely probably related to the juice fast. I went on a juice fast once, (and only once because I HATE not pooping haha) and I could not poo. The thing is when you juice stuff, you aren't really getting any of the fiber from those frui…

• Maybe you should change up the fruits you eat to fruits that are a little sweeter and see how that treats you. Think possibly strawberries or blueberries instead of raspberries... bananas or cantaloupe instead of apples... just try and see if the pr…

• I'll have to check that out!! thanks for the suggestion. The more I read about 80/10/10 the more I want to do it, which would mean cutting coffee out. Like I said, right now isn't the time, but maybe, hopefully, somewhere down the road if I can get …
