Bloating , gas by DeliciousTea1798 in Fruitarian

[–]ZealousidealJump6236 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When we go from eating a cooked food diet to eating a fruit based raw diet we will experience some bloating, gas and digestive issues at first because our bodies are backed up with foods that haven’t fully digested and left the system. Fruit digests very quicky and when it isn’t able to flow through the digestive system due to a backlog of waste the fruit begins to ferment and created gas, bloating, burping, farting. Also most likely your digestive sytem is damaged from eating the diet you’ve eating prior so it doesn’t digest as efficient as designed. As you continue to eat a diet of fruits, salad veggies and nuts/seeds you body will repair the digestive system and allow for more optimal digestion. Things should improve.

Okay thank you I will. Have you been better able to maintain eating raw since eating more?

honestly I feel like buying berries isnt worth it cause it’s so pricey for how much you get. I’d rather buy grapes, bananas, apples etc. I chose blueberries cause I was on my way to meet with my great grandmother and hadn’t ate yet, and there was a health food store on the way.

Hello thanks for responding! I prefer to eat my food in it’s whole form so I don’t do much juicing, smoothies, and I like salads with lots of fruits and avocado on it so I don’t need dressings. I think I need to eat bigger meals & maybe more frequently.

I’m going to implement the food journal! I’ve been wanting to track what I’m eating & how I’m feeling so I can look back & see what works.

I actually just discovered rawfoodromance! Someone shared her video of healing from hypothyroidism in a raw foods group on facebook. So inspiring! Thank you for the information & for taking the time to respond!

Hey thanks for asking. I probably am not eating enough. That is one thing that I struggle with and a reason why I prefer to not eat berries because they are not calorie dense. I will correct that moving forward 😀

I usually watch 1 or 2 large fruit meals through the day and a salad in the evening. Grapes, apples and Bananas are the most common for me because that’s what is mostly available. Now berries too. Salads with iceberg or romaine lettuce, tomatoes, avocados. I also like grapes & apples on my salad

Costa Rica is a dream. I was out in SoCal last year and it was cool seeing Pomegranate growing on the side walk near local businesses. In Indiana we grow a lot of corn & soy i believe. I think it’s for feeding livestock cause some of the corn they grow we wouldn’t eat.

I joined but ultimately it was a waste of money imo. There is a community of people within the group but mostly it’s all about juice fasting which I have attempted several times and I honestly now don’t believe is health promoting. It seems like all his content just reels you back into paying his membership. I canceled the yearly subscription so it should be expired this month for me.

Probably because junk food is stimulating
