Let me ask you - how long have you been raw? I would think you are detoxing. You figure how long your intestines are and how long you've eaten CRAP and how much of it is hidden in those twists and folds and bends? Well, it takes a while to get rid of all of that. Don't give up. Drink lots of water. Helps to flush out the gook faster.

that was just my first raw meal!!

Yep, those grapes, etc. were "sweepin'" ya out! Just imagine if you were to take a laxative or colon cleansing herbs, etc...you'd probably get the same kinda feeling as your bowels contract and move to move that stuff out of you.

This is a good thing!

Well at least I know it's normal heh:)

Possible causes of discomfort:

1. Unripe fruit (were the apples sweet?) - hard to digest.
2. Food combining (more likely) - may I suggest that grapes are best without apples and vice versa?

speaking of food combining i was kind of confused on the chart in the book. i'm not sure where the intersections are supposed to meet at or yeah i don't know... somebody give me an example?
