What Is Happening????!!!!

Dear friends,
Today is my third day raw. On day one, I had a severe headache, which passed after I ate a bit of cooked vegan food once for the day. Both yesterday and today I've noticed something totally different. I feel light and wonderful on the whole fruits, and have eaten a small bit of cooked vegan food yesterday and today(once each day, about 4 pm). I realise that a few minutes after eating the cooked food, i had an overwhelming feeling of sloth come over me and immidiately got a headache. My body then feels "strange" all over. Each time I also was feeling my ribcage itch, as though I was having an allergic reaction (same happens with dust, smoke ect... i'm asthmatic) That's SO weird! I suddenly feel sick after eating the cooked food.I need to also mention that for the past 3 days, I've been taking a colon cleanse.
I am beginning to feel like I should eliminate the one cooked meal I've been eating as I despise the sluggishness and the headache I feel after these meals. I am confused, though... isnt eating a bit of cooked food supposed to stop or slow down any symptoms you have?? :confused:
Has anyone had a similar experience? What is the right thing to do, guys? I am humbly seeking your advice. :o

Sounds like the cooked foods and the raw foods are duking it out in your body! I did experience this when I first went raw and slipped into a cooked meal. I just about passed out I was so tired and, "sloth" is the perfect word!
I just felt useless! My husband is the one who said "I'll bet it's the cooked food". I was amazed it could happen that fast.

Anyway...OJ and rest and more OJ and rest! Give your body a raw chance. Water and greens may help to. It's hard to motivate eating anything but simple fruit when you feel this way...good luck.
