Alice;

I empathize with your condition. I have experienced similar reactions when I have made sudden changes in my diet.

I can not tell you what to do since I know nothing about you, really. My first concern would be to question your understanding of yin/yang, because that is the fundamental this food deals with. As we begin eating a more yin/yang neutral diet, our bodies may not be accustomed to NOT being stimulated by foods of a more extreme yin or yang nature. Without this stimulation we can find ourselves left "high and dry" because we are unable to "transmute" this food into what we need.

The grains are yin/yang neutral and do not impose their own nature on you as would meat, sugar, fruit etc. What you may be experiencing is a tension you carry ( yin/yang related) that is being exposed by this food, while it may have been covered up by the manner in which you were previously eating.

My advice is go slowly and carefully. Understand Yin/yang well. To command yin/yang one must first obey it. What is your own yin/yang balance? what is the balance of the food you have eaten and are now eating? What is the balance of the parents from whom you were born?---this is what you are made of --so to speak. What is the balance you create with you husband?--your friends?---other women? --other men?

While we eat this food as a tool for self improvement and realization of our fuller balance, it remains only a tool (the key one). Our lives must be lived! Look at the yin/yang in everything that you relate to and learn who you are, what you offer, what you take, what you need (in all things, not just food), how you play, what brings you joy or pain and see your place is this universe. It all starts with you! It is your yin/yang so explore it because your are here and everything you do contributes to your yin/yang balance. It is impossible to quit!---it is only a question of whether to be conscious of it all or not?!?!

hoping to be helpful,
