Hello everyone! New here and to a more raw 'natural' foods way of eating.
I have started to eat more raw foods the last couple days and have been VERY embarrasingly gassy. I have read the raw food detox diet book and made her hearty veggie soup on Tuesday and had that for lunch that day, yesterday and today (its has onion, carrot, celery, broccoli, zucchini, squash and broth) I eat it w/ Ezekiel bread and honey...basically my diet the last few days is: fruit on waking and til noon (usually a 'fruit salad' for breakfast with apples, strawberries, blueberries and grapes, and a banana and some cherries later on if I'm hungry)....lunch is that veggie soup w/ Ezekiel bread and honey, snack is about 3 hours after lunch and is either a bunch of fruit (nectarines, cherries, apple etc) or plain raw veggies (cucumber, baby carrots)...dinner is usually a big salad w/ protein in it (chicken or fish) or maybe what the family is eating, or stir fry over brown rice. Bedtime snack is fruit or fruit mixed w/ greek yogurt.
I HATE this gassiness though! I want to keep eating this way but want this side affect to go away...
Also, I noticed since starting to eat this way I am less 'regular' if you know what I mean and its slightly uncomfortable. I wanst eating super unhealthy before, here's what I did before....brekky: fish and rice.....snack: blueberries, kashi go lean cereal and milk....lunch: veggie wrap and cottage cheese...snack: big fruit and veggie plate....dinner: usually whateve rthe family is having-sometimes not super healthy.....bedtime snack: strawberries and blueberries mixed w/ Greek yogurt and kashi go lean cereal.
I want to eat a more raw diet while adding in chicken and fish as well...so.....WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THE GAS?? and the regularity....?
thank you!
