Question:
Is anyone craving radishes?

My mother had RNY about 4 years ago and she starting a craving for radishes a few months ago. She must have them with her at all times and she even eats them for breakfast! I told her she must be deficient on some nutrient that radishes is providing her body? Any ideas?    — jewels-okla (posted on January 9, 2008)

Can't say I crave them but they are appealing.

This craving may signal an iron, zinc or vit C deficiency. She should get blood work done. Good luck.

I have noticed out of all the people I know that have had RNY, most start craving things, even things they never would eat before surgery. I always crave things like a pregnant person would. And when I was pregnant it was awful, I would CRY if I didn't get what I wanted to eat. It could be a deficiency, but maybe it is just a craving.
