It's possible that craving sugar is a symptom of a serotonin deficiency. Sweet things will give you a boost but you'll crash as your blood sugar comes down, slow release foods like oats are best.

TiT,

Have you ever had a glucose tolerance test to see if you cycle your glucose levels ?

Too much sugar gives me anxiety attacks, headache and tingling in my neck and back of head.
