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.

I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
