Yes, that will happen. Purify your body and it will say very clearly ‘NO’ when you try to take it back. Not to worry though – it will pass.
You’re not alone, mandelicious. For the first time in many months I had cooked food at a macrobiotic restaurant. I was really craving something warm and savory, so I had tempeh in mushroom sauce and cooked veggies. Mistake! I really felt lousy for the rest of the evening. I think your digestive system completely changes after going raw, and just can’t handle old ways of eating. So whether it’s a “bad” bagel or “good” macrobiotic food, it comes down to the same thing. So if you do want to have cooked food sometimes, it’s best to have just a little at a time. Otherwise, it’s just too overwhelming.
it was hours ago, and i still feel totally gross… i can’t believe this is what i used to eat everyday!
mandelicious you are not alone,I was off my raw eating today and yesterday,I cannot believe I ate non raw more than once. I am a huge greens and simple food lady and I have gluten reactions as well as digestive issues which seem to be fine when I am eating simple,pure foods and this morning we went to this vegan rest for breakfast,where I usually order the spinach salad…not today I had the tofu scrambler and now my stomach is completely distended and bloated. Oh and yesterday I was even worse….I had a piece of soy cheese pizza!!!!!
Ok,what’s done is done but every time I end up veering of my clean diet I am reminded why I decided to eat this way in the first place. Ok,so I am really uncomfortable right now,well I guess its pretty bad,I cannot button my pants so I have done some damage right now to my digestion,this will pass and I will get back on my way to eating the way that makes me feel good. To make myself feel better I went and got good foods for this week and have a list of clean yummy greens etc. to look forward to. Just wanted you to know I too feel gross:( and not only think it was that it was a rich cooked food but that it had gluten. Hope you feel better soon!
Welcome to cooked gluten! Yuk.
after eating a cooked meal last night (to keep from hurting someone’s feelings), today I’m nauseous and visiting the bathroom a lot. Ugh.
the day after the bagel i had some spring rolls and a smoothie (with strawberries and OJ) at a vegetarian chinese restaurant. it didn’t make me feel horrible like the bagel did, but i kept burping for hours, and i couldn’t even finish an appetizer order of spring rolls!
