I've been a vegan for over 20 years & have tried Raw Foodism for over a year. I can't seem to figure out why my breath, stool & gas is VERY foul. I could try to blame the breath on my periodontal disease, but why is stool & gas so foul. Is it improper food combining? i don't drink 1/2 hour before meals or 2 hours after meals & i drink appx 1/2 gallon filtered water per day. my excercise level on a scale of 1 (bad) to 10 (excellant) would be a 2. Typical weeks diet for me would be 30% raw salads w/commercial(health food m store) dressing 30% raw nuts(peanuts, pistachios & raw cashews) 15% fresh fruit 10% cooked fresh veggies(corn, peas, string beans, potatoes) 5% frozen health food variety garden/veggie burger products 3% tofu 2% oatmeal 1% soy milk 1% heatlh food whole wheat bread 1% pastaurized(preferably not concentrated) fruit juices(orange/apple/grape) 1% honey 1% margarine/safflower oil/ Any suggestions - could there be something else medically wrong with me? It amazes me that some of my canivirous eating associates never seem to have this problem. (although i'm sure there are some meat eaters with this problem as well
