Veggies that no longer allow you to enjoy them

[RawHorizons]

Has anyone been forced to give up certin fruits or veggies because they no longer agree with them?

I thought it was just broccli for me ,but its turning out to be alot more almost all root veggies are beatin me down,to the point im worried about what ones to eat,I get very very sick.
These veggies supply amazing benifits ,and Ive never in my life had a problem with them.I am sorta recovering from a few deficiencie's (feeling ,much better now)as i am slowly trying to fix it.Could it have been a lack of somthing that made it hard for me to absorb those veggies over others maybe.I think I will try again,but just wanna research it somemore first,the pain an hours of sickness just isnt worth it,if its a losing battle!!

Thanks for any insight

Stop "battling" and eat what does agree with you. There are so many choices out there... find them; test them; enjoy them. Come back to the others as your health improves. In the meantime, if you can, greens, greens, greens and fruit, nuts, seeds....

"Has anyone been forced to give up certin fruits or veggies because they no longer agree with them?"

short answer-Yes, at least 29 of them.

Depending on what you are recovering from it could be that your blood formed antibodies to certain foods-those which you were eating at the time that an intestinal bacterial imbalance, candida overgrowth, or one of several other digestive disruptions (injury/trauma, surgery, use of medications, etc.) may have occurred.

Read up on leaky gut (a condition of intestinal permeability).

If you're truly having symptoms from eating those foods, you might want to have some blood work done to determine which foods entered your bloodstream inappropriately before being completely broken down as they should have been. Once you discover if and what foods you've formed antibodies to, and eliminate them from your diet, you will begin to feel much better.

Elisa is one such test that can tell if you've become sensitive to foods due to the formation of antibodies. Leaky gut is an autoimmune disorder and your body will continue to attack itself when those foods (or other foods in the same family) are ingested. Reactions vary and can linger for days to weeks after ingestion.

I hope you find your answer. I believe that switching to the raw food lifestyle is probably the most important thing you can do to help heal. There's much more involved of course but I found it very difficult to gain any headway while eating SAD, even though I was eliminating the offending foods. My v e r y s l o w recovery began with fasting, juice fasting and then finding this website and beginning to change the way I ate. I've fallen many times but frequenting this site has always helped me to eventually get back up and back on track.

From that ,a suspicion all along and what I have now read about this now (Thank YOU) -I think my first juice fast several months ago triggered this (not saying jucing is bad)but ever since something has been off, have been told I look like a Candida candidate but never put much thought into it,have almost all the symptoms from a checklist I found online.

Have been raw for over a year (not all raw NOW but close).Was doing so good until the fast grrrr.

I am self pay-so I try to never see Doctors.
Do you know of a source where I could do the tests at home?

Are you saying that it is root veg that cause you problems. Some time ago I realised that I never eat anything that grows under the ground. My body does not want anything that grows that way and maybe there is a reason. We were not born with the means to get them and I think that it is not meant to be our natural food. Do without them and do not worry about it.
PS. the only veg I eat are celery and greens and the fruit ones that people think of as veg.

carrots and beets and radishes etc pull out quite easily using the hands we have.

No I don't, sorry. Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratories is who put out the Elisa tests my Chiro used.
