Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 When I was pregnant I craved OJ, nothing else satisfied it. I was getting plenty of Vitamin C, so I chalked it up to folic acid requirements. I hope you've been being careful (Wink). take care, Michele _________________________________________________________________ Grab our best dial-up Internet access offer: 6 months @$9.95/month. http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/dialup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 LOL, my mom with me too. The first three months all she could eat was saltines and oj w/out upchucking. :)I drank a quart a day or more, usually with macadamia nuts. Thats why Gaby looks Hawaiian. I haven't seen that movie in a really long time! Can't remember what its called. >From: " Byron " <anthony.byron@...> >Reply- >< > >Subject: RE: OJ craving >Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2003 15:57:12 +1000 > >hahaha u preggo chris ? >well according to that arnold schwatzenegger movie it is possible for a man >to bare a child > >strange aparantly my mother had a massive orange craving while she was >pregnant with me > > _____ > >From: the scorpio [mailto:rawbabymama@...] >Sent: Monday, 22 December 2003 3:27 PM > >Subject: RE: OJ craving > > >When I was pregnant I craved OJ, nothing else satisfied it.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 I've had the same craving for the last couple of days... being lazy, I just cut the orange into segments and eat/suck the juice then discard the skin... been wondering about this myself...! Dedy Masterjohn wrote -- I've been craving orange juice for the last couple weeks. It doesn't seem to be the sugar, because eating something else sweet doesn't satisfy it at all. Something fruity might, though I haven't tried it. But it's specifically orange juice. Any idea what in OJ I might be craving? Any idea if it's something I need or something screwed up? Anyone else get OJ cravings? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Hey, thanks guys! While I've been careful to exercise appropriate caution, it is true that I haven't had any liver for a couple weeks, which is probably my biggest source of folate! I imagine I should have plenty enough in my diet to, say, satisfy the USRDA for it, but maybe I need more. I was eating chicken liver for a while rather than buffalo, because my buffalo source was out, and chicken liver I believe is the #1 source of folate.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 I have such intense OJ cravings especially in the evening. Not completely sure, but I'm suspecting it's the acid I need. Grapefruit too. Chinese medicine says these foods are extremely " cooling " , so maybe that's part of it too (nothing to do with outside temperature). - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about TCM, but I'd suspect were I too be a " cool " or " hot " person I'd be " hot. " I don't even know what these mean, but my resting pulse is considerably above average, I sweat very easily on my face and chest (not armpits though), I absolutely hate going to bed with the heat above 65F (can't sleep if it's over 70F).

Bingo. Of course TCM is much more complex and the paradigms don't completely overlap, but generally you can say that " heat " in TCM means hypermetabolism. There are different causes for the hypermetabolism, and a TCM differential diagnosis would take that into account and treat different types of " heat " differently. But on crude analysis you could say that if you're got excess heat, chances are you'll need some kind of cooling treatment. (maybe cold showers? hehe) - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
