I'm thrilled to venture into a whole new raw food lifestyle! I'm 37, married and pregnant (seven months) with our first child. I was first exposed to this diet after finding and purchasing The Raw Food Detox Diet by Natalia Rose. It was great timing b/c I had been diagnosed with IBS (my mother and brother have this as well), not too long prior to this purchase. Even though the book isn't about being completely raw, it had a dramatic positive impact on how I felt. I ended up telling many people about it. Fast forward a yr. later...I moved out of state, got married and pregnant, and went back to old eating habits. I recently started up again with the raw diet (80%), soon becoming obsessed, reading everything on the internet, which is how I discovered Alissa Cohen. The more I read, the more hooked I got. I purchased her book and dvd shortly thereafter. I'm happy to say it's my new passion and there's no turning back. I'm also looking forward to meeting new raw people!

Hi and welcome Petunia!
I also came to raw by the way of Natalia Rose....she also was so kind to respond personally to an email I sent her.
You will learn so much here and from reading Alissa's book. Here's to a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Welcome Petunia,
I’ve cured my severe long standing IBS with raw foods. I look forward to hearing about your raw food experiences.
