I am doing Master Cleanse right now - day 9. I plan to go to a raw vegan diet once I get off the fast. The fast has been great detox-wise -- my seasonal allergies are basically gone. I never thought I'd even come close to 10 days!

I was already vegan (for a long time), had a healthy diet, but was eating a lot of soy, soymilk cappuccino :D , and my hubby often cooks with MSG (he's from HK). Over the past couple of years, my digestion of veggies (especially raw) had gotten progressively worse. I was unable to eat raw veggies without horrid gas. So, I recently was replacing that with superfood and additional fiber.

I am hoping the fast 'resets' my digestive system. I really want to be able to go raw... but... not if I get gassy!

So... has anyone had trouble eating veggies? Did it get better? Were there any tricks?

from what i've read... the reason you are having gas is because your levels in your stomach for digestion are low.

a green smoothie feast will totally reset this for ya.

it's in victoria boutenko's book "greens for life"
