Raw food causes huge stomach cramps, spasms, bloating, and explosive torrents of D beyond belief with me! It even makes me want to vomit. Low residue is generally painless for me and quite gut soothing and pleasurable with sf. Raw food is a huge trigger. I used to be a raw vegan (more a fruitarian than anything else!) and my fridge was basically the "enchanted broccoli forest!" Raw IF hurts me, now. Naturally there's IF in foods, but cooking/pureeing the food makes it easier to digest, process and assimilate.
And there are lots of foods that I will never touch again.
I appologize for being extreme. For me to consume an acceptable vegetable it must be cooked and quite often pureed, like a smoothie or baby food and with sf or else I will be in the depths of "the cycle" again.
Re: adding pectin to greens. Basically different fruits and veggies contain different types of fiber, not just SF and IF, like pectin and cellulose and hemicellulose, etc.
And spinach and apple is actually not a bad combo, but I'd stick some carrot in there. Celery would be nice, but it's disagreeing with me lately, so I'd use parsley as it's a member of the same family as celery. I dream of an onion--like a character from a Margaret Atwood novel--THE ROBBER BRIDE. A tomatoe has pectin. A banana has pectin.
Green beans have pectin. I'm just rattling off a few examples that come to mind.
Nothing rattles me with low residue.
