new/transitioning to raw - vomitting after eating is this detox?
Posted by: lunachica ()

Hello - I'm new to the forum and just began transitioning to raw foods about 1 month ago. I'm fluctuate between 85-100% raw each day.

Yesterday with my dinner salad I ate a couple of my son's quorn nuggets (fake chicken nuggets) & some lightly steam brocolli w/nutritional yeast then I had a dessert of raw granola & almond milk I made earlier. About 1 hour later I threw the entire meal up. I very rarely vomit, could this be part of the detox? Maybe the processed food? Overeating? Maybe just a bug? It seemed a bit extreme to me.

Anyone else experience this?
Thanks
Miche

I don't know about vomitting, but I am on my 4th day as about 99% raw and I felt nauseous after eating raw lasagne one night. I don't know if it's detox - I thought it might be more of a mental thing as the flavors are very rich and different, too. Thinking of the "cheese" on my meal as being macadamia nuts and yeast may have had an affect on it - even though the meal tasted great! I think some of the people here may suspect that a strange combination of food could cause these reactions. But I don't know, maybe it is detox.

I've never had vomiting detox (I know it's fairly common) but my mom has, from doing a 6-week cleanse. She said she vomited this weird sludge-looking stuff. So I'm thinking maybe vomiting detox is different than just puking up a whole meal, ya know? Just a thought. It's possible it was mild food poisoning, even.

Thanks for the input....
i'm thinking it may have been the almond milk, maybe the nuts were rancid - I smelled the jar today thinking I may be able to have a glass but it just repulsed me. Yes jesjarjo, there is something about certain nuts too rich maybe....I've been having alot of food aversions since transitioning to good things too that I use to love like argula and basil....Is this commom. so many questions

raw foods are far more perishable than cooked foods
just see how long you can "keep" spinach
without it going bac on you
compared to how long you can keep a Captain Crunch super saturated PRESERVED
bowl lying around without having bacteria grow on it

if u felt repulsed when u smelled the almond milk
it was probably that

its okay to make things ahead of time
but be careful to not have it hanging around TOO long

cheers

Hi there,

It just sounds like some very bad food combining to me. :-) That was a lot to ask of your stomach at once.

All the best,

Yes - bad food combing definitely, but I've done that many times in the past but did not vomit. I've always thought I ate "healthy" but since transitioning to raw I realize my food combinations (as well as how much i eat) have been horrific.
Thanks for your response.
