It seems the more I eat the more I am sick and running to the bathroom all the time. How can I eat better and feel better at the same time?

Is there a supplier in Tucson that caters to people feeding raw diets? Or should I just buy the stuff from my local grocery store? Anyone else in Tucson doing raw diet?

I’ve been reading many books on raw foodism, I am almost 14 and I really want to make it my lifestyle, but my parents complain that fresh produce is too expensive… it’s not like I’m expecting the to buy everything organic but I do understand that we’re going through a tight spot in a 5 person family with my dad on unemployment.

So… I need some realistic suggestions for me right now.

I started researching the BARF diet after my dog got sick and I have decided to stop or at least start weaning my dog Bob off of store bought dog food.

The comments I’m finding are mixed, while a large amount say it is a good idea there are a handful that say it’s not healthy.

Is it? Would Bob, my two year old (almost three) Westie be healthier on a raw food diet or would I be doing him more harm?

I’m just wondering if there are any raw foodists who would be filling to explain a little about their diet. We were discussing an article on raw foodism in class the other day and I was just wondering if there was anyone who could kind of explain their eating habits, how/where they get all of their dietary needs, what (if any) difficulties they encounter (have encountered). I’ve never really heard of this until recently and I’m just intrigued.
Thanks!

She’s been to the vet a lot & she (the vet) doesn’t think the cat is seriously ill. She thinks it may be irritable bowel syndrome. Right now kitty is on Hills ID prescription food. She seems better on this food, but they say it should only be fed short term & she’s been on it 3 mos. Also, it contains a lot of bad ingredient including corn gluten & chicken bi-products YUK My vet doesn’t seem at all knowledgeable about food. I’m planning on going to a holistic vet, but wanted to get input from members who feed the raw food diet. Thanks!

His owner couldn’t keep him, so we took him in. He’s been fed dry food exclusively and his bowl was kept full. How can I ease him into less food and would canned be better than dry?

For years my staple diet was wheat pitas, rice & very spicy veg/non-veg dishes (typical indian/pakistani foods). Over last six months, I started eating mostly raw fruits & vegetables. While overall effect on health was good, but I started having this persistent toothache. I showed many dentists but after scores of x-rays they could not find anything wrong.

Now, a few days ago, I was at a party & I had to eat traditional Indian/Pakistani food, and lo & behold toothache disappeared. Now I have added wheat Pita etc back into my diet and toothache doesnt bother me any more.

Just wanted to share my experience, & see if my mosty fruit diet was lacking in something. Should I take any supplements along with it.?
So, are u guys saying, cooked vegetables are better than raw ones for teeth? I do drink lots of milk.
To Jen:

But my digestion became super-excellent when I started raw fruits & veggies. All my body functions become much better, except this stupid toothache.

I started about two weeks ago, I am doing between 50- 80 percent raw, and for the last few days especially my poo has been dark and crumbly looking. I know it is not coming all out either. I am not passing gas really much, and I feel bloated and nasty. It is very uncomfortable. Could this be the stuff that was stuck in my intestine? Whats going on?

I may have convinced my mom to switch our ferret to a raw-food diet (she’d be the one buying the food, but i’d be preparing and feeding it to her). I’m looking for suggestions and ‘recipes’, and other preparation suggestions/techniques

Thanks!
