researching cdh and vitamin a

Rate this Entry
So while searching the internet for possible causes or links to cdh, i was looking at the possible link between cdh and vitamin a deficiency. As i started putting more and more together I started seeing weird patterns and even though it's not confirmed this is still hardly a coincidence i think. My gallbladder was removed about 1 year after i had my son ...they said the pregnancy caused the gallstones and i had to get it taken out. After looking into the vitamin a deficiency ...i looked into gallbladder removal side effects....one of them is mal-absorption of fat soluble vitamins....of course vitamin a is fat soluble. During the pregnancy I took my prenatal vitamin and my cravings hit like crazy .....the weirdest craving was carrots...i could eat bags and bags of them and i don't even eat them on a regular basis, not even voluntary. but pregnant, i couldn't get enough. carrots are a extremely high source of vitamin a. So with my gallbladder being removed causing insufficient absorption of vitamin a to begin with, causing a deficiency in myself, then getting pregnant and craving the carrots like my body was telling me i needed the extra vitamin a, does this really all seem like a coincidence? anyone else put anything together?

    I read that about the Vitamin A. I didn't have any gall bladder problems but I craved carrots while pregnant with both my children during the first 3 months.
