question for the women

Date: April 08, 2008 12:31AM Has anyone had sore nipples since going raw??? It feels even more sore than during PMS. I'm definitely not imagining this. I am not really too terribly concerned yet. Maybe I am not the only one experiencing this. Someone, please let me know. Re: question for the women

Date: April 08, 2008 12:44AM I haven't experienced that. Did you wear some rough clothing without a bra while being a bit active recently?
All kinds of things happen inside our bodies when we start eating raw foods. Maybe your hormones are being balanced and things are adjusting in a way that makes your nipples sore? I hope you are comfortable soon! Lots of love to you, Wendi XOXO Re: question for the women

Date: April 08, 2008 02:45AM no, I didn't go braless and irritate my nipples, and i'm not pregnant, unless the baby was immaculately conceived! Re: question for the women

Date: April 08, 2008 03:35AM The only kind of similar experience I can think of was that twice, one of my nipples got sore - I attributed it to having eaten more fat the day before than felt comfortable. I was just too lazy to go out and get other food - so maybe the fat had some hormonal effect. And I hope this helps because it really weirds me out to write the word "nipples", especially in reference to myself... eew. Re: question for the women

Date: April 08, 2008 05:34AM no extra sensitivity with the nipples since going raw, but definately with the "hoo ha". have to take steps to be extra careful not to upset the natural chemical balance if you know what i mean. otherwise it's on fire. and not in a good way. Re: question for the women

Date: April 08, 2008 03:41PM Hmm. I think I do share this experience. Ever since getting more raw foods into my diet it just feels like something is "happening" in my boobs - not sure how to describe it - except for kind of a swirly feeling - I know that sounds really weird. ALMOST like my milk letting down or something, except I have not nursed in over 10 months. But it seems like the more raw I eat the more I feel a kind of "quickening" in my whole body, if that makes any sense at all.

Date: April 08, 2008 03:49PM My doctor told me that nipple soreness is mostly hormonal changes in the body. I am wondering if the raw food is making some (or reversing some) hormonal "imbalances" you may have had??? Just my thought. If you can handle it, try for some more time. But if the pain is too much I recommend consulting a doctor.
Feel better. Take care A Iyer Re: question for the women

Date: April 08, 2008 07:02PM Could it be that you are more sensitive to synthetic materials? I can't bear them any longer, so always go for pure cotton. Greenpower Visit my website and my blog! [www.natureshealingsecrets.com] (closed on Sundays) Re: question for the women

Date: April 08, 2008 11:33PM angie1, I have the same thing happening at times! I haven't nursed in about 11 years, but I feel that same swirling, almost letdown, feeling. The first few times I checked my breasts to see if they were getting heavy with milk, but they weren't. I was just experiencing that feeling.

Date: April 09, 2008 12:23AM After my initial first-month weight crash, I've gained nearly all of it back--but in the hips, and in the chest (boyfriend is thrilled). Raw is definitely, physically and emotionally, making me more of a woman!
So, it stands to reason lots of chemical changes are going on... for the better. =) Re: question for the women

Date: April 10, 2008 01:00AM Wow...I had that problem a few days ago!!! I have certainly been eating more fat lately too-- the raw kind, but a lot of alyssa cohen recipes. I just started back into raw a few weeks ago. It is right before my period, and I could be pregnant (I mean it's possible--don't know yet) but my boobs were SORE!!! It felt like the pressure of needing to breast feed real bad. I'll update if whether I am preganant or not..will know in a few days. Re: question for the women

I'd think that the input of folks who aren't accentuated, and who aren't influenced by female hormones, might be useful. But I guess not, lol. I have to confess that I was a bit weirded out by the way this question was framed - no offence to javacado; it struck me like, "Dis 1's 4 da laydeez... r ur nippels sensativ??" I am too creeped out to answer it as it was written, seeing as this is a public forum where my words will live on forever and I don't know anything about the asker. I thought that if it were gender-neutral, it would be both more informative and less... Well, like I said. Re: question for the women

Date: April 11, 2008 03:49AM yes it is true that both men and women do share some of the same hormones ( in differing amounts)
and we both have an X chromosome however... there ARE differences sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade Re: question for the women

My nipples only get sore if I surf without a rash-guard... raw has made no difference with that...and I still can't surf worth a darn.

Greg, maybe you need to eat more sea vegetables...?  Re: question for the women

Haven't missed a period yet but once I got about four months in to 98% raw (still stuck with commerical salad dressing addiction), but all the premuenstral symptoms subsided (including the above mentioned sore nipple issue), and they changed from a heavy, 7 day flow to a very, very light, 3 days.
