Sick when eating cooked food

Cara Brotman, famous raw chef spoke similarly. She said a friend once made cooked pasta I believe and she felt awful afterward (tired etc.) When I do well eating raw for long stretches and I treat myself to cooked food, I'm tired, my abdomen hurts. Sometimes I feel a little sick and just really off. Sometimes I have no symptoms. Markus Rothkranz said raw vegan is as good as it gets; that it can take a long time to heal from bad food choices. He said he experimented once to see how long he could treat himself to the old foods he ate after he healed. Then, he said his symptoms started coming back. He is not a purist. He will treat himself to something cooked (vegan) on occasion. It's also my understanding that this is such a polluted world... So, having the optimum diet is essential and when you deviate from it, your body notices. I can't think of her name, but there is a vegan (raw I think) who beat Lupus. She cured it with her diet and she said that if she reverted back to her old ways , it would most likely come back. It is what it is. We've found THE diet to heal. We just have to cultivate the discipline to treat ourselves just now and then (& not go overboard). Not that you go overboard, but I have at times. That's why I joined this forum, to support one another in the raw vegan lifestyle.

It’s also worth considering how your body reacts to specific foods. For example, things like peppers, broccoli, or corn can be harder to digest for some people, raw or cooked. Maybe your stomach is still figuring out what to do with these during this back-and-forth phase. If you’re dealing with food sensitivities or intolerances (even minor ones you might not have noticed before), switching between diets could make them more noticeable.
