Hi everyone!
Should I be worried that I am craving pickle juice worse that I have ever craved anything before in my life-and that's saying a lot bc I have been T1D for 27 years! I want to drink the whole jar of juice and leave the pickles. I can't explain how powerful the cravings are. It's insane! I'm not giving in (except for once or twice) because the sodium is unhealthy and I can feel it the next day if I ingest too much. I wonder if this has anything to do with my lisinopril. I've been on it for ten plus years and haven't ever had this happen before. I'm getting worried.

I JUST WANT TO DRINK THE JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUICE!!!!

My advice, drink it and get it over with. Yes you will likely get sick, but if it is a one time deal it might be worth it. No I have never had this craving but mine was tomatoes. I could never get enough. I finally gave in drove my BG up to high levels treated it back and I was satisfied.
Again my advice, is do it and get it over with. Chances are you will need to do so in order to get over it. Good luck.

I drink it all the time. I actually save the juice in the fridge. I add it to stuff I cook. Sometimes, disgusting is in the eyes of the beholder.
I take lisinopril but haven't noticed those particular cravings. I like pickle juice in Bloody Marys but that's about it.
Lisinopril...no way
You can buy the juice without those pesky pickles....
Thanks, everyone! Hahaha...yeah, I'll stop worrying and ask my doc next time I see him. ;) I'm definitely going to take the advice of going ahead and drinking it HAHA!!!
I was taking Lisinopril, but was recently told by my Endo that it does not achieve the pharmacological efficacy that it once was believed to have. So she took me off it. I was only taking 5mg/day. I have cravings from time to time, but pickle juice was never one of them!
