Raw broccoli and cabbage used to destroy my stomach with crazy gas pain. I stopped eating raw salads completely and started steaming or cooking all my veggies well. For now, just have some hot water and walk around, it will clear up.

I had the same issue last month when I started a raw diet! It was so painful. I switched to warm soups and sauteed vegetables instead of raw salads, and my stomach instantly felt better. Give your gut a break for a couple of days with simple rice and dal.

The secret is to never eat heavy vegetables like cauliflower or peas without cooking them thoroughly with ginger and hing. Raw veggies are too tough on an average Indian gut. Cook them well, drink warm water afterward, and you won't have any issues.

I understand how worrying it is when healthy food like vegetables starts causing pain, it makes you feel like you can't eat anything safely. I used to panic over this too. Just try a warm heating pad and rest, it is mostly just bloating from fiber and will pass soon.

I also get a very dull ache after eating heavy vegetable curries or raw cucumbers in the evening. Is it better to avoid eating raw vegetables after sunset? I just try to drink warm water, but would love to know what else helps.
