IBS Testing: Vegetarian to Vegan to Raw
Last week, after another day of agonizing pain and nausea, I decided to take another step forward into the abyss of dietary restrictions. Go raw. Go raw. Go RAH! My feigning excitement of a cheerleader was comforted by the precursor of an hour and a half massage.
So I visit Juliano’s Raw on 609 Broadway at the corner of 6th. A calming little retreat, the décor reminds me of a Venice canal café. I settled in the back patio that is hidden by overgrown plants and orchids, promptly ordering glasses of double filtered water – my roommate swears by the Japanese ultra filtration technology that makes regular H2O taste like smooth silk.
My choices for the evening:
MEAT 'N' POTATOES $13.86
A savory mushroom walnut loaf served w/ cauliflower, "mashed potatoes" & sides.
STRAWBERRY MILK $9.24
Frozen strawberries, activated almond milk, vanilla & love honey.
An expensive meal in any region for any single working woman, but was downright delectable. The strawberry milkshake was topped with pomegranate seeds and raw cocoa bits finished with a sprig of mint. The ‘meat’ was nutty and beef-like (though it’s been over 15 years since I’ve had a steak) and cauliflower mashed potatoes could almost pass for potato salad.
I felt revitalized and a bit high. Two days later, my system ‘cleansed’ itself, very much triggered by this raw stimulation. I’m not ready yet to embrace the high maintenance diet change, but one taste and you’ll realize why some base their entire wellbeing around raw foods.
