Answered questions from the past 2 years:
.
Why would someone crave and eat chalk? I have been eating large amounts of chalk (sidewalk chalk) since my pregnancy. My baby is now four months old and I am still craving it.
.
Is it safe to take cod liver oil during pregnancy?
.
I got back from a vacation in Jamaica, and it looks like I have bites from sand fleas. They have puss pockets in the middle of a red, itchy area. And I’m itching terribly. Do they go away — and if so — how long? And how do I treat them and make sure they go away for good?
.
How much is a safe level of calcium to take daily so I do not get kidney stones?
.
When I think of the serving sizes suggested for a healthy diet, I don't think I can eat that much at a meal and be comfortable. What happens if children are encouraged to eat more than they are comfortable with … even healthy foods? I see this happening in the school setting, where food trays are overly filled with healthy food.
.
I am interested in a plant-based diet. Do you have any information on this?
.
I'm 48, and weigh 240 pounds. I'm on a weight-loss plan but I'm struggling with what is my best options for breakfast. I typically have low-fat yogurt with granola each morning — but think I should lay off the dairy. What's a good protein for me? Are eggs alone good enough? I don't have time each morning to make a meal.
.
My friend has stage 3 kidney disease. His doctor asked him to eat foods low in potassium. So far, we can’t find potassium in the nutrition information available on food labels. Is there anywhere he can get a list of foods low in potassium?
.
My doctor found that my blood levels of vitamin D were low. She gave me a prescription for 50,000 international units of vitamin D to be taken every two weeks. But I’ve read that the recommended dose is more like 1,000 IU a day, and that more than 4,000 IU a day is unsafe. I have thin bones but not osteoporosis yet. I’m a healthy woman and don’t want to do more harm than good. What’s your advice?
.
I am tired a lot, and have been tested for all the usual suspects. I eat fairly well, and get enough rest each night. My doctor told me I was “a little low” on B-12. Could this be the real cause of my fatigue?
