I kinda had a crazy April. <br />I actually figured out that I think my pickled ginger craving was due to a form of &quot;pica&quot;..&amp; I was actually SUPER iron deficient due to some health issues I had (I&#39;m vegetarian/mostly vegan now, but it wasn&#39;t from that..), but from extreme blood loss I experienced. So once my iron levels stabilized via supplementation w/high dose iron from prescription (only way to get that much iron) my cravings went away. I almost have an adverse reaction to pickled ginger now. I still love it, but I think I ate SO much of it..that I&#39;m not that sussed on it like I used to be when having sushi..haha.. ;) Hope that helps some..&amp; talk to your doctor..get blood tests done &amp; see if any under-lying health issue are causing some vitamins/mineral deficiency. It doesn&#39;t have to be iron, but it&#39;s the most common one to cause odd cravings.<br />I.e.: http://bit.ly/JQBGoU <br />Good luck &amp; let me know if you sort it out!Michelle Marcicki/Unity Integration Studioshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07443696760509256467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537078489014347500.post-32586065353811907992012-04-11T19:18:00.739-07:002012-04-11T19:18:00.739-07:00Im so glad I found your page because I just started having a craving for pickled ginger.
