Pickles and lemons

So I have been craving pickles and lemons. I cant figure out why... of course when I bring it up everyone always says PREGNANT but I think its something my body is asking for.... let me confess and say I don't take my vites everyday.. Just the days everything goes down fine..

I'll bet it's a vitamin or mineral deficiency too.

That's what im thinking...

How much vitamin C are you getting in a day? It's possible you are lacking a bit ..

I cant even tell you... I don't even know what im taking when im taking it. I just know that the orange capsule is Iron and the little purple is zinc and those two I can take together... Other then that I just pop them in my mouth and hope all goes down well. by the time I got one batch in (not settled) its time for the next which I have to hold off becuase im too full from the last batch. Its sooo difficult to get them all in. I was hoping my stomach would be a little bigger by now but its not and taking my vites everyday is a serious struggle. By the way I am on vita  ladys DS plan... That's why I dont know what im taking because she takes the work out of it.

If you're on her plan it's most likely 2,000 MG per day which should be just fine. :)

As for getting all the pills, try smaller sips of water with them and break up in smaller batches. I would take two pills at a time with a sip of water every couple of minutes. It's a never-ending task to get them in initially. I had a 1.5oz stomach post-op so I can sympathize with you about getting them all in.

I wouldn't worry about the pickles and lemons. If you start eating them instead of other foods, like proteins, then you may have something to worry about but don't stress for now. :)

Thank you for your response. I did eat a pickle yesterday instead of my steak but thats the first pickle I have eaten. Its not a problem so far. I def need to figure out this vitamin thing. There is SOOOO much more than I expected. I wish I could just pop them all in at once and go about my business but it isnt working that way. Then I tried a pill cutter and the vites are sooo dense that it broke my pill cutter! I tried doing two every hour but the time ran out before I got all 31 pills in.

I have those cravings too. I actually bought a jar of pickles and I put lemon slices and lim slices in my water. I do take all my vitamins but maybe I am not getting enough vitamin C. I will have to try taking more vitamin C and see if that helps. I take everything else religiously.

I wasn't a big dill pickle fan pre-DS. Now 3 months later, I love them. Especially big chunks cut up in my tuna fish! Mmmmmm. And lots of lemon in my water and on my salads. Must be a DS Thing.

Im glad its not just me.. I have always liked pickles and lemons but I thought th sudden urge to enjoy them was tied to something. I guess I will just wait and see.
