MrsRebz2Be · April 2011

I never LOVED pickles before, never disliked them. I just finished off 2 open jars in the fridge, and lucky for me there are still 2 more. HAHA. Is it me or do a lot of pregnant women "crave" pickles during their pregnancy. Here's for the pickle lovers, whats your favorite brand/type of pickle!?

Mine is claussen, hearty garlic.... old faithful is vlasic kosher dills

haha

I've eaten four today and I think they might have given me diarrhea. I hope not because they are so tasty right now. Maybe it was the green olives.

EDIT - Four pickles, not jars.

I liked pickles a lot last pregnancy..I havent really had one yet this time around..I think I avoided them once someone pointed out all the sodium in them or something..

Kosher... bread & butter pickles... on top of ritz crackers with Philadelphia cream cheese.

I love pickles when I'm pregnant too! I like refrigerated jars of dill pickles that are sold in by the cheese in my grocery store. They are yummy and fresh!

I have no desire to eat pickles! I didn't like or dislike them before- just wasn't one of my staple foods.. and I haven't eaten one shred of pickle since my BFP.. In fact the dill smell grosses me out. :P

I've got a love/heartburn relationship going with green tomato chow these days.

I love these pickles I get from a farmer's market in DE. They are called lemon pickles. I can't eat them right now because of the sodium. They are calling for me every time I open the frig. Sad

I was always a huge pickle fan until I got pregnant. I could finish a far of Classen garlic pickles in a matter of minutes. Now the smell of anything slightly vinegar-y makes me want to vomit. I can't even have slices of pickles on sandwiches!

I'm with you. I could eat a jar a day. I love the Vlasic kosher dills.

I loved pickles before. Ate at least 1 spear a day as a snack. When I got my BFP I bought a huge jar from Sam's and I haven't had one damn craving.

Dill.

I've always been a pickle freak. Even when I was little I would ask for pickle juice to drink with my pickles (mom has a pic of me at 2 drinking out of the jar).

My favorite cut is the classic Vlasic Kosher Dill spears, but the garlic ones are great too. Moby Dills are the best whole pickles, though...they're huge!

I was diagnosed with a thyroid disorder when I was 16, and they said that eating more iodized salt was actually good for the management of the condition , and that my pickle "addiction" was probably my body's attempt to keep the iodine levels up.

I don't have the diagnosis anymore, but I still love pickles, and my blood pressure stays consistently normal. So far, MD says I'm still game for pickle binges

Not going to lie....this post made me go eat pickles. i love the deli stlye, and pickles from the middle eastern food mart.

Heard something about the craving before that and that it may have something to do with our bodies needing something or other.

Could've been an OWT tho.

Anyone else heard something like that?

Edit--- It wasn't about the iodized salt tho, what else could it be? I know that some say that craving ice has something to do with iron, which I also crave, and am anemic... could it be iron that has to do with pickles too?

Mmm. Now I want pickles! I've always loooooved them, but FI never allowed them in the house because he hates the smell. But ever since I got pg, he'll go out to the store in the middle of the night to pick some up for me! My favorite are the plain Vlasic spears. Yumyum. Oh! And the pickles that have at Jimmy John's. I'll seriously place an order fpr five pickles and nothing else. Absolutely delicious!

I'm still waiting for my pickle craving to come in...so is my hubby :op

Beedeck · April 2011

I had 5 or 6 spears last night, they are sooo much better now that I am pregnant. Now I want to go home and get some more!

kellie7 · April 2011

i always like pickles, but now i really LOVE them. have you tried the dill pickle flavored pringles?! i can eat them at work without people giving me a weird look because as far as they all know, they're any old flavor of pringles!

eli_and_jeff · April 2011

For me it's anything sour (pickles, lemons, grapefruit, pineapple). I get a bad taste in my mouth from the nasal congestion and so tart and sour always helps it go away. I read somewhere that the bad taste thing is pretty common.

Claussen kosher garlic dill sandwich slices are my fave...at least now. I ran out of my own homemade pickles a month ago. Can't wait until dill's in season so I can make some more!!

I have always loved pickles since I was little and my love for pickles is even stronger, now that I'm pregnant.

I have a few brands that I like, but they all are the kosher dills. It doesn't matter if they are whole, spears, stackers, chips or relish...I LOVE them all!

Not long after I found out that I was pregnant I stopped at the store after specifically for pickles. I got the dill chips and ate pretty much the entire jar, juice and all, before I got home. After eating that many in such a short time I kinda got sick to my belly and only touched them in moderation after that.

Now my new, and temporary, love is the mild banana (yellow) pepper rings! They are tangy like pickles but yet they are also mildly spicy! They for some reason don't give me heartburn but the sage spice in a chicken pot pie I had the other day gave me heartburn like crazy!

Elsker · April 2011

I eat banana peppers on their own, too!!
