[SPAM] Raw Vegan Alcoholic & blood sugar and cravings

[Guest guest]

" Right now my digestion is so messed up I need to blend the seeds or nuts into a

smooth crème (which I pour over other stuff) so I can successfully get the

protein into my bloodstream. Whole dry nuts are really hard to digest, even if

you try to chew real well. "

 

I'm glad someone brought this up. My digestion is bad as well. Nuts are very

hard for me to handle unless I make them into a nut butter. There's a lot I

have to do in order to get my digestion back on track and the eaiser I can make

it right now, the better.

 

I can imagine a recovering alcoholic would have this kind of trouble too.

 

What raw foods aid in digestion?

 

Thanks,

 

Tanya

" Specifically, papaya and pineapple have enzymes that help with digestion. "

 

 

That explains why the first time I tried to go raw, I was eating 4 pineapples a

week. This go around I'm having a much easier time with it all. Can I say out

loud that I'm taking Nora's class, because I'm going to.

 

What a difference her help makes. I see where I went wrong the first time

around. I have 4 kids and a spouse, none are raw. But she's giving me

strategies and debunking myths. This is truly the best path I have taken.

 

Being on the list here is also really helpful. There seems to be so few people

out there that understand what this process is about.

Hi Tanya,

Kiwifruit also have digestion enzymes, but not as much as in papaya and

pineapple. The acid in the pineapple and kiwifruit also aid in protein digestion

since that needs an acid balance.

 

Right now my digestive tract is too irritated to handle the pineapple, but seems

to do okay with a few kiwifruit every few days. I think its the acid in the

pineapple that is a problem for me, however if the lining of your digestive

tract is damaged enough to damage the mucus lining, the enzymes could contribute

to the irritation of the lining. So I'm not sure if its the enzymes or acid in

the pineapple that increases the irritation. What I do know is that I can eat

the kiwifruit, and that this adds nutrition from an additional plant family to

my diet.

 

May your day be filled with clarity, grace, progress, and warm laughter,

Roger
