- Hi, Everyone! RawZi just pointed me to her post about nursing mamas on the "Global 24-Hour Fast" thread in the Main Forum, and I thought others in our circle might want to add their advice and experiences as well. Great to be here!! :D

What's up everyone!
We are a vegan family who moved from urban Los Angeles to the sticks of Michigan. We have a three year old daughter and are 10 weeks pregnant with our second child. We have an organic garden and belong to an organic (not certified) CSA. We had a midwife for our first birth and have a great midwife for our second birth.
I do 95% of the food preparing/cooking and since moving to rural Michigan it has been a challenge maintaining our dietary choice. We hardly and I mean hardly ever eat out and when we travel half of our bags are filled with food.
There are a couple of things that this community could help us with:
1. Any suggestions for books/websites related to raw/vegan pregnancy, tandem breastfeeding and raising raw/vegan children.
2. An internet source for raw organic nuts that don’t cost a bazillion dollars.
3. An internet source for organic baby clothes that don’t cost a bazillion dollars
4. Any general advice, recipes and fitness information that you found useful during your pregnancy.
We just joined Raw Pregnancy so some of you might be seeing this post again. Please excuse the duplication.
Thanks for your helping us keep it raw in the country and hope to hear from everyone soon.

Comment by Kelly on June 17, 2009 at 4:40pm - It depends on your current diet. You go through a detox when you change your diet to 100% raw and the toxins can go through to your breastmilk. I have a 4 month old and went 100% raw yesterday, however for me that only meant eliminating eggs, fish, and some sugary items. Just be real careful. If you start getting headaches, runny nose, flu like sympotms that could mean you are detoxing too fast. Maybe start by just drinking a green smoothie every day and then add more raw foods every week. Hope that helps!!

Sounds just like me with the exception of the chick and turkey. I even did ezekiel with raw agave for a snack all the time. I am NOT an expert, but I would start by not eating meat for a while. I eliminated all of my microwave meals about 2 weeks ago and did cooked kasha and quinoa to ease myself in. I am working with a raw food consultant and the advice she gave me is that if I feel any signs of detox I should up my fat intake. This is really not a problem for me because I eat raw granola for breakfast, raw guacamole, etc
We are filming our journey, so I will post the link to our videos once they are live. I would be happy to try and answer any questions you have!

since I find no reason to believe in 'allergies' against 'natural' appropriate stuff, I would think it's more likely just the fact that pineapple if bought in store is pretty much always unripe. Not that it matters to the situation perhaps.

Nicolas have you ever had a pineapple that does not give symptoms. In my experience around these hoods where we are there are practically no ripe pineapples..or perhaps a few dunno
Yes ma'am. Resting as completely as possible with eyes closed; getting enough water; avoiding too much sun; avoiding toxic substances (personal care products, cleaning products, etc.)
I enjoy writing about the deepest darkest secrets of my heart, about things I dont want to share with anyone..or lack the guts to share. Love letters mostly, but not always. If I have a dream I want to remember Ill write it down.
I'm assuming "fasting properly" means RESTING while fasting?

Thanks Priyam! You are very kind and generous with your appreciation, and I appreciate the specificity. I agree with you completely that fasting is generally very poorly understood, mostly feared, and almost always avoided.

GASP! I would never accuse you of such. Take that back right now.
Hey Michele! We fast 8-10 people per year for 6 weeks and most of them have amazing experiences. Incidentally, though some people imagine there's a need to "work up" to a long fast like this, many are fasting this long for the first time; in fact,...

I think I am addicted to this board. I stopped making sense, ALL I know is I have to post
We dont want organic pasteurized, that is the same as conventional to us. Its been treated with something to kill it because that it what people do kill beautiful things it seems. Dead people.
