Me again. I was wondering about the safety of detoxing while nursing. I am and extremely SAD eater. I will post my "story" elsewhere, but wanted to know the dangers of detox while nursing.
...

A friend of mine and I are considering trying raw food. We are both nursing though. Her concern is gas on the babies. We have always been told to not eat certain veggies like broccoli cause it...

that the hormones during pregnancy greatly increase the risk of yeast infections. I am pregnant and have thankfully not experienced that. Sorry, I couldn't help more.

To be honest though, for a seedling like me, this article is very scary. I am not sure what to do with this.

I am so sorry ya'll, I really dont mean to be taking over the board, I just have so much to ask. Let me know if I get obnoxious, ok?

I have been told that if you struggle with yeast overgrowth...

Ok, I am really just trying to find more info out about the raw lifestyle, not trying to start anything.

I have read that a "raw diet" would be lacking in B-12 and Omegas. How do we deal and or...

I dont feed pork.

I have to say that out of the 2 years of feeding our dogs and cats a BARF diet, we have never had a problem with cross contamination. We feed outside, but cut the meat in the kitchen (but mostly...

I am certainly very sad and pregnant!! :-)

I am also very new at this. What does a macrobiotic diet consist of? I am certainly not going to go 100% raw until after that baby is born. I know my...

Actually, all of my animals eat BARF. They all get raw meat daily and their health has skyrocketed!!

The biggest change is in the great dane who was suffering from Hip Dysplasia and Urinary...

What is the best "natural" way to wash fruits and veggies before eating them? I have seen vinegar and water. Is this the best way? How much of each?

Thanks,

I have to say that I just love you guys. I have been to many raw food sites where if you are not eating organic, 100% raw, etc... you are committing a huge sin. Its very refreshing to come here...

Again, you guys are great. Thanks so much for your input.

P, can I ask what kind of greens you put in your smoothies that dont make them lose their flavor and sweetness?


Pregnancy is the...

Oh yeah, and I can't stand the taste of "natural" sweeteners like carob and date flavored foods. Is this the addiction to refined sugars? Will the taste get better when I give up the Junk?

Hey everyone. Thanks for all your support yesterday. I am the one who is pregnant and trying to be more healthy. I have decided to take many of your advice and increase my raw intake and have some...

sorry raw, that was supposed to be not a lot of ice cream, but gave me full reign to eat it, just not in large quantities. I just thought the fruit was WAY off. They have such little knowledge of...

thanks everyone and please keep the comments coming. Typically, I am an all or nothing kind of girl, but I have a feeling that the whole experience will teach me patience among other things.

What...

I really want to get healthy. My health has gone WAY down hill since I quit smoking 2 years ago (ironic). I have horrible headaches, I cant breathe most of the time, I have gained 70 pounds, I am...
