Puffy Face and Rash - Raw Food Chat

suncat11 · 11-19-2008

Hi there - I guess I have been 90 to 95 percent raw for over 3 weeks now and mostly loving it. (fish every other day and teas and coffees with cows milk a few times a day) - I could kick myself however as last night , I was hormonal, hungry and out with my partner so I succumbed to Chinese Food - I told myself I would go with the crunchy stirfried veges with Tofu - well they didnt have them at this restaurant - so I settled on Curried Veges and Fish.
Couldnt have been worse!!!! Creamy sauce and the fish was in batter!!!
Well I have had a strange rash on my chin and spreading upwards this past week - and I woke this morning and the rash was way worse - like a bad sunburn - almost blistered - and I have some strange puffiness under my eyes - and odd little bags on each cheekbone (Yuk!!!) - I actually look kind of Sunstroked - but its been raining for a week!!!
I have had a Gall Bladder flareup too these past weeks.
So I am at a loss to know what all these reactions are from - Detox? Gall Bladder? Wheat or MSG in the CHinese food?
Also I am wondering if it is usual for a pre-existing Gall Bladder issue to flareup when starting to Detox?
I know I am making it hard to answer as I am not doing this 100% yet - but I would so appreciate your responses - as I really want to stick with this.
Thank You
Suncat

that most likely has nothing to do with raw foods. see a doctor asap.

Thanks for the reply Luna Sky - and yup have seen a GP yesterday - not much luck -"some sort of rash - could be related to dietary changes as could the gall bladder pain - lets keep an eye on it and do a Liver Function Test again" - yep am not one to leave serious sounding/feeling symptoms un treated.
I shall let you know if I have any epiphanies - and am still hoping to hear from anyone else who may have had temporary skin-flareups, gall-bladder or liver discofmort or heightened sensitivity to Cooked Foods during Transition or Detox
THanks Again
