Hi all,
I am new to this group. I am 51 and have had health issues for 12 years but have had digestive ones my whole life. I have severe allergies to gluten, dairy,eggs and yeast and molds. If I eat any of those things I have a really bad reaction that lasts for hours and has sent me to the ER on several occasions. I have antihistamines on me at all times just in case.
Right now I am eating 2 out of three meals raw. I am very lucky to live in Northern California with three Whole Foods nearby. There are also a few brands of foods that are raw, so I can have Tu-nut on a big salad. I can also buy ready made bars to snack on.
My challenge is a lot of bloating. I take a lot of digestive enzymes and betaine hydrochloride which helps.
I am thinking about getting the therapeutic enzymes but am afraid I'll have a reaction to them unless they are hypo-allergenic.(Since I am allergic to yeast,I am worried that the enzymes are gotten from yeast or fungi).
Does anyone know about that.
Thank you so much for listening,
June
P.S. I haven't pooped this much in a long time!

Hi Mamabird,
That is my favorite store in the world! I am in the store in Campbell about 4 times a week.I'll have to stop and say hello.
Yesterday I bought the tu-nut salad,raw bread and raw hummus.I had some for lunch with a little salad. Its pricey, but I haven't learned how to make those things yet.
For breakfast I have been having a green smoothie, sometimes a piece of the raw bread with cashew butter and banana.
I'm definitely in for the challange! I was all raw yesterday.
Have a great day,
June

Hi June, I get the tunut as well. Hope to meet you. I'll be in on Sat afternoon. I went to Felton today and my girlfriends who eat everything had some raw nuts, fruits, and veggies for me.
