Hello there. Thank you for writing us here.
Well its mainly because you might be having deficiency of calcium. I would suggest you to have enough of milk for a month which would increase the level of calcium. You'll notice a change in your habit soon. But if you continue eating like that you might develop stones in your body.
Best regards,
Dr Gunjan
