I've been on a food journey for many years and while I haven't figured it all out, I have discovered what works better for me. As for raw, raw - that is, lots of raw veggies, I actually temper what I do in that department as I find it tough on me. Raw desserts are prepared in such a manner that much of the digestion issues are removed - by virtue of soaking the nuts and using the right mix of nuts and dried fruit that I can manage. And the coconut oil which is often an ingredient, makes everything quite workable as well as nutritious.<br /><br />Complex carbs are critical for most and my diet is unusual in it's removal of them.

You're d...Glad you're feeling better, Beth. You're diet is nearly the inverse of mine; I thrive on complex carbs, and raw produce often literally makes me vomit. Away from home (where we wash everything thoroughly) I do not eat uncooked food. My gastroenterologist says my sensitive stomach is doing me a favor by rejecting contaminated food that less sensitive stomachs do not discern leaving their owners vulnerable to more serious ailments.David Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372664923767246694noreply@blogger.com
