what is my body telling me?

[Zaphirah]

here is a list of foods that I have been craving like mad (except today-see other post in this forum) I don't eat these together-but these are the things my body wants

raw sauerkraut-my main craving
lemons
portabellas
green grapes (not red???)
red onion

do these things have anything in common? I'm out of raw kraut and the closest store is 40 minutes away. I just can't bring myself to travel all that way polluting the air for some kraut-BUT I WANT IT!!!!

Zaphirah, I just read your blog and all I can say is YES!!!!! Thank you. You are living my life---it feels good not to be alone. I'm so glad to discover that I am not a freak! Lots of people are suffering with the same issues I have all my life. I'm sorry for all of us---what caused all this? Well, anyway, I'm glad we have all found raw, and each other!

i crave sauerkraut monthly -
sauerkraut has b-12 in it (maybe that's it), and lots of probiotics.

[SuBu]

OK, is this a purchased item or a recipe?

[Zaphirah]

I buy it at the co-op. It's expensive, but a 5 dollar jar lasts about 4-6 servings, depending on how hungry I am.

[SuBu]

Processed in jars--Raw? Or are we not going there?

[Zaphirah]

no-it's cold packed. It's naturally fermented and raw.

I would say you may be craving sulfur?

Just a thought.

Isn't that weird how our bodies crave the funniest combinations?

saurkraut is full of enzymes and probiotics, but it also has a TON of B vitamins. That would be my first guess.

I can so relate - not with the kraut thing but when I have in my mind I want something specific I will drive and go and get it! I have found if I don't I will keep eating other things trying to fill the craving I have and nothing satisfies and I then overeat on things I really didn't want. So when you have the urge fullow it!:D

hey zaphirah...you wouldn't happen to be talking about the kraut made by rawpickles...are ya? i'm addicted to that stuff!

[Zaphirah]

There are 2 brands that I like: RealPickles and one that I think is called Hawthorne Farm or something? The name Hawthorne is somewhere on the label and it's from NY? Last night I had RealPickles Asian-style cabbage with avacado on top for dinner. YUM!

[firefaery]

I LOVE RealPickles...has anyone tried their ginger carrots?

[dani_b]

I don't know what those foods have in common, but at least you are craving healthy foods! I wish I could get raw sauerkraut for $5. It's over $10 bucks here for a brand called Rejuvenative Foods which is also about 4-6 servings.

[youraw]

sigh, I was very excited about RealPickles....googled them and found they only ship to the NorthEast......no short cuts for me!

saukraut - probiotics and apparently B's (i did not know that!) I've been craving it as well.
lemons - very alkalizing
mushrooms and the onion to me seem like they're trying to attack parasites perhaps?
green grapes - can't help ya there! I crave them too haha
