drinking pickle juice

I’m so glad I stumbled on this site. I’ve been drinking pickle juice to the HORROR of family and friends, and to the embarassment of myself, and utter inability to explain my bizarre behavior. I’m a paramedic, so I need a REAL medical answer, not a guess, theory, or brush-off, as I’ve gotten from the several doctors I’ve asked. Just FYI, I has a Bilio-pancreatic divirsion with duodenal switch 8 years ago, and have a pletheria of vitamin deficiencies, as one can imagine with only 3 feet of small intestine. I’m up to 1-2 qts pickle juice per day, (although I crave more, I try to stop myself,) with co-existing nausea/vomitting that only the pickle juice seems to settle. 20 lb weight loss over last 2 months unintended, 100 ml of water still on board as usual per day, so not dehydrated. I’m concerned, as my clothes are hanging off. (size 4) 35y/o F. DONT WANT THIS!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

Well…first of all, with all that going on in your body, I wonder if this “craving” doesn’t have a medical souce…something you should talk to a doctor about…

I can tell you that pickle juice DOES cure things like hangovers, and does seem to settle nausea…I don’t know why. Cider vinegar has been used for 200 years to cure all kinds of ill health…

If you didn’t have other medical problems, I’d probably not worry about the pickle juice…but there is a LOT of salt in it, and that’s why I think you should consult a physician.

Answer #2

I’m not a medical type, but from what I know, cravings are often indications that the body is lacking a certain vitamin or mineral. Is your craving limited to one type of pickle juice, or will any type do? ie - will Sweet Mixed work as well as Dill? Also, I hope you meant 1000 ml (1 Liter or quart) of water, because if you are doing only 100 ML you are not drinking enough. You might want to document this over a week or so and bring your observations and self to a good doctor for an examination. Good luck!

Answer #3
