Clarification: Usually I am convinced that raw has cured my IBS. Sometimes my digestion seems sluggish and I have seen other raw fooders with that complaint - (I don't know if all we complainers of this had IBS before raw or not). Sometimes other things complicate the matter and right now I have multiple infections so I am stuck in the chicken and egg syndrome as I my bowels have to get real bad before I realize that they are a problem. Part of my current problem could be a major detox which I need to learn more about.
