Crave milk after eating

arthyn

I seem to really crave milk after eating meals regardless of meal contents and other drinks don't seem to satiate that craving. Any idea why?

It might be your bodies way of telling you to balance out the phosphorous you're consuming with adequate calcium.

I have similar cravings, especially after eating meat.

natural signaling of phosphate-calcium metabolism.

the body tells you: "balance the phosphorus with calcium!!!"

@Fructose what about those who eat high phophate with no calcium craving? why doesnt the body grave other calcium foods?

@Fructose @KATATHEGREAT ahhh ok yeah that make sense, ty!

@arthyn My mother used to tell me all her family in the village decades ago used to always drink big glass of milk or yogurt after every meal, regardless of what the meal was. Maybe it is just normal healthy metabolism thing. I don’t know.

are you sure? perhaps they ate cheese, garlic sauce, cucumber salad, cream, etc. along with the meat.

Samyo

@Fructose No, they're on a low vit A diet, or starch diet, or a diet that doesnt contain calcium?

You're ganna get some people who dont crave milk or calcium and that leads to the question of why not?

don't know about you but i always want to swish my mouth after eating. i can't stand non-sweet, salty foods lingering in my mouth.

@Samyo Perhaps people with high parathyroid hormone do not have this signaling.

Among other things, that's why I went on a liquid diet - I don't have such problems. To keep my jaw in shape, I simply chew mastic several times a day. Enough.

I find I get this when I've been drinking a lot of milk. To me it seems that milk is such a nutritious food in such a bioavailable form, that when I have a solid meal after drinking milk throughout the day, my body then misses the nutrition of the milk and craves it.

I always need milk after eating meat. This seems to be fairly common.
