I am just interested to see if anyone on this message board follows a raw foods diet? I am not talking about raw meat or eggs, I mean nuts, seeds, fruits and veggies. Anyone?

Hi,

I have often wished I had the ability to go completely raw food. I have a number of friends who are totally immersed in the lifestyle. Since being diagnosed 2 years ago I've tried a number of times but dont think my body is recovered enough

yet.

is a great resource site with a good magazine. I write about tropical fruit for them.

I am doing the raw thing, but just started. In fact, I just got my Vitamix today, so a whole bunch more recipies will come available to me now. So far, so good. My skin looks better (right away), my poop is better, my energy is better. I still eat cooked food a couple times per day, but am working toward 90% or so raw. I think I'm a protein type metabolizer, so might want to keep meat or eggs in my diet...as opposed to doing the vegan thing.

Anyway, if you have any questions, make sure to let me know. But I'm pretty new too.

I am actually about 95% raw. I really like it. I was all raw yesterday and I then ate gluten-free toast and I got bloated right away! It was really crazy. I am jealous of your vitamix!!! We have a Cuisinart, but that's nothing compared to a vitamix. How much was yours?

I tried the raw diet. Although I prefer to eat mostly raw foods, I have gastroparesis so I can't always eat this way. I am not the one with the gluten issue though. My daughter is. You do have to be careful with a raw diet because some of the ingredients like Miso and Nama Shoyu or Braggs can contain gluten.

it was about 500 bucks. ouch! you can get a refurbished one for about 400 bucks. AND, Vitamix charges tax even though they sell from out of state. Oh well.

Tonight we ate an all raw dinner: fettuccini made of zucchini (first you use the mandolin, then slice in thin strips) in a marinara sauce (tomatoes, basil, garlic, lemon juice, 1 date, salt, sun dried tomatoes) and it was really good. The whole family liked it. We had salad too.

The marinara was my first job in the Vitamix. I'm looking forward to using it, that's for sure.

Then I made my dessert concoction: pecans, coconut, dates, cocoa nibs, and cashew butter (in the food processor). I roll them into balls. Actually, I have to watch it with this stuff - it's a lot of sugar (in the form of dates). Yum! My partner thinks they need rum, but he's full of it.

I don't use miso or raw soy sauce, but I understood braggs to be gluten free. I keep forgetting to pick some up, so haven't been able to use any recipies with miso yet. What would be a good substitute?

LOL. Rum does make everything better...lol.

I am soy free, so I can't do Braggs either. We actually had a really similar dinner...zucchini with tomatoe sauce (all raw). It was really good. Not the same as cooked, but still really good.

I also made an apple pie yesterday which I have been munching on since then.

Do you have Alissa Cohen's book? Any other books you would suggest?

You know what they say, "Time flies when you're having rum."

I might be wrong on the Bragg's. Daughter can't have soy. Perhaps it's soy it contains and not gluten. Anyway... In recipes, I just sub in some Celtic sea salt to taste.

I have four different Raw books. Alissa's is the only one I use on a regular basis. She explains things very well.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By trents · Posted

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By jenniber · Posted

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.
