I think I figured out my OJ problem! | Arthritis Information

Ok, so I was reading the post about potassium that LyndeeNZ posted about RA & potassium.

 
So, I done a google search to see if OJ was high in potassium. AND IT IS!!!!
 
When I first started going to my current RD she did a lot of blood work and one of them was for potassium, well mine was a little low, but I guess not low enough for her to worry about.
 
So, I am guessing my potassium is low again. I remember thinking about it the other night, about if my potassium was low, because PamS, helped me to remember that my Uncle us to crave orange juice too when his potassium was low. But he could not have OJ was because he would drink too much and he was diabetic. So he was on liqiud potassium supplement.
 
So.... I guess I will make a note of this for when I go to my RD again.
 
I REALLY believe that it has to do with potassium being low. I do not crave bananas, but OJ, and no other fruit. weird to me.
I will be back later to post more, need to get a shower and ready to go to town to buy groceries. Don't forget the OJ  :)Joonie -
 
A couple of months ago I was craving Hummus.  And you have to understand - I hate chick peas.  Wouldn't eat it if I was starving.  Yet I was buying vats of it.  The entire house started eating it- the baby loved it. 
 
About that time I was also experiencing RLS so I went out and got supps.  The RLS went away.
 
So did the craving for Hummus.
 
Still have a vat in the fridge.  LOL

I still wanna know what bacon and beer cravings mean... or maybe I don't!

I love cravings.....I think they offer us a glimpse into what we are missing.  I don't know Kelly....I would worry about the yeast and fat, but you are a smart cookie!

 

When I was a young thing ( around 6 to 9 years old) my sister and I used to raid the pantry at home and drink glasses of malt vinegar! Our Mum had to hide it from us in the end.
This went on for a long time and I still LOVE vinegar and anything containing vinegar. Must go see what it consists of apart from beginning as alcohol. 
 
The last day of VBS, my daughter came home with 5 boxes of sugar cones. I ate 1 box that night and a whole other box the next day & night. My kids ate up the oter 3 boxes.
 
 
[QUOTE=joonie]I would just eat the ice cream cones, screw the fatting ice cream.
