My body is actually remarkably good at making me eat things I need. I have the usual premenstrual woman craving for chocolate, and also when I'm getting depressed for other reasons. But I can crave all sorts of healthy things as well. Short of calcium? I'll crave hot chocolate (this being the only way I can bear to drink delicious soy milk). Short of vitamin C? I'll crave orange juice. Low in iron? I'll want to eat cabbage. (Until the IBS started, I would think nothing of eating an entire baby cabbage by myself over a weekend). Lacking in protein? I'll fancy Quorn or eggs or Linda McCartney sausages (my protein trigger is obviously less specific). It's kinda cool. I'm always surprised when other people moan about their food cravings because they only ever crave stuff that's bad for them. Mine are almost always useful.
my body is not completely crap after all

New-to-me doctors never understand me
Today I experienced the joy which is seeing a doctor who doesn't know me. Apparently my usual GP is on holiday somewhere warm, lucky woman. So I was…
