Crazy Cravings

HI ALL,

I KNOW THIS WILL PROBABLY SOUND SILLY, BUT I NEED TO KNOW IF IT IS RELATED TO CELIAC DISEASE OR JUST A CARB ISSUE.

I DON'T EAT MEAT, BUT I DO TRY TO GET PROTIEN IN MY DIET IN OTHER WAYS. I GET THESE CRAZY CRAVINGS FOR PEAS, A WHOLE CAN JUST WARM THEM UP AND EAT THEM BY THEMSELVES. I HAVE DONE THIS FOR YEARS. JUST THIS PAST YEAR THE CRAVING HAS STEAMED OUT TO MUSHROOM AND BROCCOLI.

I KNOW IT SOUNDS STRANGE AND NO I AM NOT PREGNANT. I JUST WONDER IF ANYONE ELSE HAS WEIRD CRAVING AND IF SO WHAT ARE THEY CAUSED BY. WHEN IT WAS JUST THE PEAS I WAS SET TO BELIEVE IT WAS JUST MY SUGAR DROPPING, BUT MUSHROOMS AND BROCOLLI? THAT IS JUST PLAIN WEIRD.

Well, both peas and broccoli do have a nice amount of protein, but the mushrooms don't. I'm thinking there's some nutrient they all have in common, or perhaps the newer cravings are for something else entirely. Both peas and broccoli offer good amounts of manganese, vitamin K, and folate, among other things. Seems the mushrooms are the odd one of the three. As I understand it, a craving won't necessarily be for the ideal food item, but one with which the body is familiar. So it doesn't have to contain large amounts of the thing your body is looking for, only relatively more than your typical diet.

Magnesium assists in nutrient absorption, so I'd recommend that along with the obvious stuff like a multivitamin and such.

      Postponing seeking a diagnosis?

      By kim-d · Posted

      Thanks, @trents. That was what I was thinking of as well, but I'm a huge worrier and keep doubting if it was right thing to do so it seemed better to ask more experienced people. My diet won't be 100% gluten free unfortunately, but I'm thinking of using it as an opportunity to keep a food log and try to see what makes things worse.

      Daughter waiting for appointment

      Her Dr gave her meds for the ulcers and recommend the genetic blood test to rule out celiac. Got those results and the hla-dq2 is positive the hla-dq8 is negative. So I’m not sure what this all means. Waiting to hear from the Dr again. She has been eating gluten and did say she got bad stomach pain again the other day but it hasn’t happened in a few weeks so I’m not sure if it’s from gluten or the ulcers.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      I have been on supplementation for almost 11 months with no deficiencies showing up on blood work. So was just hoping to hear someone else’s story where it took longer to heal.

      Orgain Protein Powder

      Here’s the answer from the company 😊   Hi Emily,    Thank you for reaching out to us! We can confirm the Organic Protein + 50 Superfoods Powder is gluten free. The organic barley and wheatgrasses we use are harvested prior to jointing, before the grain forms and any gluten protein is present. Rest assured appropriate measures are taken to ensure our gluten free products comply with the FDA final rule to be labeled as gluten free, as claimed on the side-panel label. Our suppliers are required to verify each ingredient and in order to ensure that our gluten free products comply with the FDA requirements, our manufacturing facilities use the ELISA test method to confirm gluten levels are less than the standard limit of <20 ppm.    If you have allergy concerns about consuming the grasses, we recommend consulting further with your healthcare provider. I hope this information helps! Please let us know if you have other questions.
