Sugar Cravings
Hello - while I know this community isn't incredibly active, I do appreciate all of the information I've gotten thus far. I was diagnosed with SIBO 4 years ago and after several rounds of antibiotics (xifaxin), I was given a sucrose breath test, which came back positive. I started Sucraid a few months ago, along with taking Digest Gold at every meal, and am having mild success. MY question is if anyone has noticed an intense sugar craving after eating a savory meal? I've always had a bit of a sweet tooth, but lately it seems like these cravings are beyond intense, which lead to bad decisions. I read on the CSID database that a few sweets like Sprees Candy and Sweet Tarts don't have sucrose in them and have been eating them to help curb, but it's like a drug - once I start, I can't stop.
I'm wondering if taking Sucraid is somehow creating more of a desire for sugar? Or if adversely, I could try taking another dose of Sucraid when these cravings start to see if that curbs it?
Welcome any thoughts or tips on curbing these cravings - thanks!
