Guest guest Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I have just started to eat mostly raw. I have MS and have been constipated forever. Thought this would resolve that problem, but not yet. I have only been " cleaning things up " for about a couple weeks, so Maybe I'm expecting too much too soon. Ideas? Has anyone else continued to have constipation after going mostly raw? I feel like I may have more issues than I thought. Thanks for any advice. I just feel like if I could get things going, I would stop feeling drunk, toxic, etc. Sally In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 It took me a few weeks to be regular. Try to be patient because it is worth the wait. I feel soooo much better now that I can just go to the bathroom normally each and every day. Laura Jeff & Sally Moore <jefsalmoore wrote: I have just started to eat mostly raw.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Watch the spinach it is binding as well increase your water intake, have grapefruit in the morning, apricot is good to for getting things moving. There are a few detox teas out there that help too there is bija tea made with organic herbs for a deep cleanse or lalma makes a yummy detox tea. The Bija tea doesnt taste very good I would try the detox tea first. You can find them at most health stores. watch bananas too binding as well. I suffer from IBS (irritable bowel sindrome) haven't had a problem since starting my raw diet 7 weeks ago. I am following the dr. Fuhrman Eat to live program. hope this helps sarah > " Jeff & Sally Moore " <jefsalmoore >rawfood ><rawfood > >[Raw Food] Constipation >Thu, 19 Apr 2007 05:14:28 -0400 > >I have just started to eat mostly raw.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Sally, (disclaimer)I am not a DR, have next to no medical training of any kind and am only offering comment from my own life experiences I have been @70% for almost a month now. I never had a problem with constipation before but rather was living at the other end of the spectrum. One of the things that prompted me to go highraw was the onset of borderline high blood pressure. The medicine they put me on to manage both my HBP and my migraines has stopped me up quite considerably. I find that I have needed to add quite a bit of flax to my diet to get things moving at all. Is it possible on of your meds if you are on any could be stopping you up and have you tried adding flax? I add it to many things and eat flax crackers with both ground and whole flax. You also need to be drinking quite a bit of water to help soften things up.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Eat To Live is about 50% raw. Sarah, do you not eat the beans on his plan? I was on it for about a year before transitioning to high raw in the last month or so. The beans are a rare occasion for me these days, and I miss them. -Erin www.zenpawn.com/vegblog rawfood , " sarah shaw " <hppymummy wrote: > > Watch the spinach it is binding as well increase your water intake, have > grapefruit in the morning, apricot is good to for getting things moving. > There are a few detox teas out there that help too there is bija tea made > with organic herbs for a deep cleanse or lalma makes a yummy detox tea.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I don't eat the beans very much I find they taste like dirt. I usually try to choke them back. I don't like the taste of cooked veggies so I eat everything raw except for corn and the odd potatoe. I am going on 8 weeks vegan and I love it. After reading eat to live I decided that was it. Most of my family is now vegan or vegitarian. My husband has been following the eat to live program strictly for the past 8 weeks and as well he has been going to school and his grades have never been better he still doesnt want to believe it is his diet that is helping him do better. > " Erin " <truepatriot >rawfood >rawfood >Re: [Raw Food] Constipation >Sat, 21 Apr 2007 20:26:14 -0000 > >Eat To Live is about 50% raw.
