Give it to me Raw

I know that raw agave is supposed to be good for digestion, but I'm wondering if anyone has noticed negative digestive effects from it. I've had all kinds of digestive problems over the past week or so, and the main thing that's been different about my diet is that I've been having a lot more agave (in herbal tea) than usual, so I'm wondering if that's it. Any thoughts??

Hmm - I think I'm going to switch back to raw honey, and only use agave for the occasional raw dessert, not everyday in my tea. Thanks for your thoughts!

Might be the excess sugar. I've heard (and somewhat experienced) that too much sugar can upset digestion in the small intestine.

But regular raw cane sugar doesn't have the same effect. So it's either the agave or else something else weird is going on with me.

To be honest I have never seen the process to create Raw Agave... I have seen many creating "Agave" that claim to be raw, but the process is far from raw. If you were eating 100% raw and the Agave was creating a problem, then it just might not be raw, thus the irritation.
Something to consider.
P.S don't believe every label you seen.
Dive into the books.

Cheers,

I'm not 100% raw, more like 97%, so it's not whether or not it's raw, but I think you're right about the processing - I mean, it's not like honey, which just comes out of the comb.

I have never dried them myself, but in France and Italy you can buy them already dried (at what temperature I don't know). It was awhile since I ate them (before I went raw).

My saliva has never commented on how I smell. But my mouth tastes fine. And, in case you were wondering, my various excretions all smell good too!

Lost is same insanely good storytelling, character development. I love how they spend time flashing back to show you the character's demons and how the island is bringing them to face what used to be a big thing for them. Plus, you never know what...

We're a minority group within a minority group... I figured we needed our own little space to socialize! :) Besides, some of us are single and would like to meet other gay raw cuties! :)
