Date: May 14, 2011 08:33PM Yup. Weird stuff, same during pregnancy, weird cravings. I try to identify the dominant nutrient in the food I am craving and eat something else high in it. Like chocolate = magnesium, etc. Re: cravings during time of the month!

Date: May 15, 2011 04:40PM Coco has it right the main craving is usually for more magnesium. Calcium is partially what causes the extreme pains.
So either eating magnesium rich foods or supplementing with magnesium is a good idea. Acidified sources are best for absorption such as magnesium malate/citrate or transdermal magnesium oil. Magnesium oxide/hydroxide is poorly absorbed, caustic and neutralizes stomach acid. It is the common type found in most magnesium supplements due to being so cheap.

Date: May 16, 2011 06:12AM Lie others already said.. if it's chocolate.. it's magnesium you need.
Try cacao nibs or whatever they are called. I forgot what causes salt cravings.. i just pour it on something like sunflower seeds or celery. lol Re: cravings during time of the month!

Date: May 18, 2011 06:36PM I do have a few dark chocolate chips when I crave them. But what I did notice is for the first time since I was 12, I wasn't bloated during my period. I didn't even know it was coming! My video to keep me inspired on my health quest: [www.youtube.com] Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
