    Default Help me!

    How do I get my raw mojo back? I had the stomach flu for 4 days, and now I have a viral infection which has caused swelling of the roof of my mouth as well as my gums. I am in such pain.... My face feels like I have been punched several times - the last thing I want to eat is raw food. I have been raw for almost 2 years and the very thought of raw nuts/seeds/vegetables turns my stomach. HELP ME!

    You poor thing! I hope you recover quickly! Towards that goal, how about doing a juice fast? Mostly fruit, with some celery and cucumber juice added for extra nutrients. Maybe some coconut water. When I was sick with a flu-type thing the celery and coconut water really helped me. Good for replacing electrolytes.

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

    You got really good suggestions from RawKnitster! Fruit smoothies? I especially like the idea of the coconut water. I love taking frozen bananas and blending with mango in the food processor - it makes a wonderful creamy pudding, nice and cold. I bet that would go down well?

    I hope you get feeling better very soon!! Best wishes! *Ü*

    e3live helps me to survive while i was sick or couldn't eat, then gradually went back with green juice and then green smoothie.

    Hope you feel well soon!
