Hi, someone on here helped me before about my soya allergy (which is inconvenient as I am a vegan) and suggested I was lacking a b vitamin- I've been eating lots of yeast extract and can now tollerate a little soya which is good :)
Just wondering if someone can help now- I need an awful lot of sleep to get rid of bags under my eyes, but I dont often get it as theres not enough time and I often can't sleep! I know that being raw reduced your need for lots of sleep, but I'm not yet 100% raw. is there anythign else I can do?
also, since becoming vegan I've developed 2 rashes on my hand and one on my face! I've tried lotions and moisturizer and exfoliants and everything but nothing gets rid of it completely- it just keeps it at bay then it comes back. Im reluctant to go to a doctor as the products are tested on animals and not vegan. Is there something else I can do?
Also, I've tried whole days of being raw but I just get so hungry. I have a green smoothie for beakfast and snack on seeds sprouts and fruits and things, but I just can't get full and I end up eating pasta or something to fill me up. I don't have a dehydrator but am getting one soon- please help?!

Hi VeganDelight! Ok, so here is my rec to you :) See a Naturopath and have a BioMerdian test done! These rashes could be food related, fungal related, bacteria related, etc... SO many things could be causing this that I would feel horrible guessing and/or giving advice. However, the BioMeridian testing is amazing at finding out what could possible be causing it! Personally, this is what I have done for my food allergies and/or rashes - YES, I have had rashes too! haha, and this testing was able to figure out it was stemming from a candida issue :( Moved my diet around a bit, rubbed some oregano oil on my skin and viola, it went away :) I don't sell and/or perform BioMerdian Test - I just believe in them!
try coconut oil on eczema type rashes! i had that on my ear when transitioning to raw and it helped it go away in 2 days.
I agree with the coconut oil, it's a natural wonder!
Make sure you're raw includes eating food that you LOVE! This will really help satisfy you on so many levels. Don't be afraid to up the fruit, and have a handful of nuts of seeds in your salads whole, or grind them up and sprinkle them on your salad.
Regarding the sleep I'd make sure you're getting enough exercise and fresh air every day - just one short walk is better than nothing.
