I have a question regarding Excessive Milk Thirst
My entire life, I've enjoyed drinking milk. I've always been on the "high end" of consumption, however it's gotten pretty bad lately. (as a child, I was the kid that would drink other people's Milk in the cafeteria).
I'm now drinking 4/5+ Gallons of milk a week. Roughly 30%+ of my daily Caloric intake consists of ONLY Milk.(I drink low-fat skim--80 cals serving).
On average, I'll drink 10-12 servings a day (8 oz serving/80-96 oz-day/ 800-960 cals-day).
What is strange, is the Excessive/Obsessive amount of thirst I have for milk, Milk and only Milk can quash the thirst desire.
An example--I drank 100 oz. of water yesterday. (I had a long/hard Weight Training yesterday).
I also drank 80 oz of Milk (10-8 oz glass---there's only 16 servings in a Gallon of Milk).
I'm a firm believer that my body only "demands" what it's lacking.
Therefore, I firmly believe their is some sort of deficiency in my body that is lacking, thus my OVERWHELMING craving for Milk.
I'm concerned this is an indicator of a Mineral/Vitamin deficiency or "something" else.
However, I take a Multi-Vitamin 2x-day, fish oil, niacin, and Potassium pill.
I'm healthy in other ways---been tested for diabetes, etc. All came back good. (Although, I do have high Cholesterol--182-go figure, and my Triglycerides lean towards high--but not excessively high--120-).
I've tried to Google for "excessive milk thirst" (and other variants) and have not stumbled across any answers.
I say that I can completely empathize with someone suffering from an addiction in their life (Alcohol, Drugs, etc). I am truly "addicted" to Milk. When I get the Milk thirst---NOTHING....no food or drink will quench that thirst, other than Milk. (so, I don't think it's Carb craving).
Anyone have any suggestions?
I have a complete Physical scheduled with my Dr. at the end of Jan. I'd like to discuss any assumptions I can read up on.
Thanks!
