Stop The Stomach Aches
One of the primary concerns prospective raw foodists approach me with is that fruit bothers their stomach, gives them gas, or otherwise aggravates their digestion.
Sometimes it's a specific fruit -melons being the most popular type-, but just as often they think it's all fruit that bothers them.
After I explain that it's not the fruit's fault, I have to go on and explain it's usually not the fault of the rest of their food choices either.
These problems almost universally come down to chemistry - digestive incompatibilities among the digestive mediums needed to break down the different foods being eaten subsequently or at the same time.
Whether you're a raw foodist or a dedicated SAD eater looking for some answers outside a package of TUMS, learning how foods combine can change your relationship with eating.
