Does anyone eat raw veggies/ fruits?
Posted 5/30/2013 5:37 PM (GMT 0)
I dont eat raw veggies but i eat all my fruits raw. I always peel everything before i eat it.

Same as bananas girl. No raw except lettuce,tomato, and peeled cukes, I peel apples. I don't go anywhere near grapes!!!!

No raw veggies, although I sometimes drink V8 VFusion juice. I will occasionally have cooked veggies. I have eaten raw fruit, with varying results. I try to peel apples if I'm able to.

about six weeks post-op I started having really small amounts of raw veggies (I think I started with a little pico de gallo which is chopped tomatoes and onions), probably by ~10 weeks post op I was eating small salads with stuff like raw kale. Always chewed very well and made sure to have some starch with the same meal.

But maybe you don't care since I don't have a colon wink During my flare WITH my colon, I had small amounts of raw veggies (like pico de gallo... don't hate I'm a Chipotle addict) but never salads or things like carrot sticks, etc.

I eat lots of raw fruit and veg. I have a green smoothie every morning which I rotate bananas, mangos, apples, papaya and dark leafy greens. I also put in bee pollen and chia seeds.

I also eat lots of other veg too, normally not raw but lightly steamed.

raw veggies are pointless for me - they never get digested. some fruits seem to be okay, like bananas, apples, honeydew melon & cantaloupe.

Sweet responses hehe :)! This is gonna sound so weird but I cannot decide if my colon is ok or not ok with raw veggie. I feel like sometimes it's fine, other times it's like "no,no!!" I feel like it's so temperamental

I love raw veggies, and I have never noticed any bad affects from them.

De La- nice :) some are good some seem to bother. I can't decide if they are beneficial for colon or rough to digest. I also know depending on the state of colon, we may have different responses. But it is interesting how some raw doesn't seem to throw me over the edge

I blend them in a vitamix mostly and then chugalog
Posted 5/30/2013 8:29 PM (GMT 0)
Yep, lots every day. I feel crappy if I go a day with not enough fruits and veg.

Hey chrissy! Eh c diff has been torturing me since january. I just spoke to the doctor today and he wants to admit me. Not sure what else he can do besides antibiotics which im already taking. He still said no to fecal transplant. Boo!

at the peak of a flare I lay off a bit just cause I know its harder to digest, but most of the time I can eat both no problem

guess I'm a lucky one.

Carrots, tomatoes, spinach, lettuce are about it for raw veggies. I eat more cooked.

Berries, bananas, grapes, melons for fruit, in 1/2 cup or smaller servings.

I don't drink fruit juices right now - too much fructose in a serving.
