I feel bad for you because I completely understand.

I too have so many problems when adding cooked food back in.

I felt so much energy, no headaches, no mucous etc.. while being all raw. BUT it wasn't good for my mental health. I too, need to find a balance but I am not enjoying having all of my aches and pains back plus the fatigue. When I was raw I didn't need as much sleep and could just go, go, go all day long. Now I am back to that tired feeling every day.

I am still eating 2 raw meals per day and then adding some cooked food into my high raw dinner meal. Steamed veggies seem to do the best so far. Potatoes make me very tired but lentils on my greens are okay.

I cannot have any gluten filled grains. Since going raw I started using sprouted buckwheat. You might try that. It works very well for me.

It is frustrating because I truly want to find a balance but I also want to feel better. 100% is just too hard for me while raising a family of four children and trying to live in this world.

I wish there was a way to make it easier.
