Hi,

I have been very high raw since June and I have noted that there are several occasions...mostly making soup that I get really nauseous and I have to burp and I swear that something was bad in the soup. Other people eat it just fine.

Today I had a corn chowder from Rawvolution:
pine nuts
walnuts
corn
cumin
less than half a clove of garlic

In the recipe he says to get rid of the foam. I did not see foam...so I ate. When I had leftovers there was foam on top that was really heavy. So I disposed of that. Second time around I am fine. What is in that and where is it coming from? I would be able to eat all of these in there whole state...well sans garlic and not have an issue. Is there just too much air getting into the digestive system?

I know that some people can be nauseous from greens in smoothies, but I have these every morning and I am fine.

I am beginning to have doubts about sticking to this for the long haul. I never really felt sick eating vegan. Certainly not having as many bouts of nausea...because it is pretty much immediate, I don't think that it is detox. I have not really ever had detox. As I have progressed slowly from vegetarian to vegan and now to raw rather than directly from my M&M, Dr. Pepper and meat eating days--BTW blech.

I would guess that air is the most likely suspect. Protein has a tendency to foam. Try adding a tsp or so of cold pressed olive oil to your raw soups. This is similar to adding oil to boiling pasta to stop it from foaming.
